Have a different life by this time next year

I am really disappointed in my progress on this goal. Let’s see what I’ve done on my list from 17 months ago….

1. Have my own place – Nope…still living with the parents and I’m realizing that the only way I’ll get out is if I get a new job.
2. Have a different job – Nope…same place and they’ve hired more people for the little hours we have. Been keeping an eye out and have applied for a couple of jobs but nothing has happened.
3. Either be living in a different city or have traveled a bit..or both. – Kind of…still living in the same city. Did go on a cruise for a week but still want to do more travelling.
4. Be working on finishing my BA – Nope…I have been so unmotivated with this one.
5. Be in a long term committed relationship that’s good for me – Nope….and the one’s I thought were possible I don’t see happening.

Geez…have I done anything at all?!! I think I need to start actively working on and updating this goal.

Yep…stuck in a 5 year rut. It’s not that my life is horrible or anything like that. I just expected it to be different than what it is. And right now it’s like I’m just watching the world go by without joining in on all the fun. It’s the same thing day after day, year after year. So I’m going to actively try to fix this. So by next year I will…

1.) Have my own place – be out of my parents’ house

2.) Have a different job – one that is somehow related to the career path I want to follow.

3.) Either be living in a different city or have traveled a bit..or both.

4.) Be working on finishing my BA in photography or at least be applying to the schools I would like to go to. – I would have, by this time, finished my AA in Media Arts but still want that BA. Plus this will help with #3 since the school here doesn’t offer the degree I want I would have to move.

5.) Be in a long term committed relationship that’s good for me – It’s not that I hate being single but I’ve never be in a relationship that lasted longer than 3 months.

All of these have mini goals that go along with them but these have the general idea. And I know I’ll probably think of more to add on later. Any ideas or advice are welcome. Good luck to everyone!

I have decided to delete my other list and start from scratch. I figured that this would be a good starting point for this new year. This goal will probably always be on my list since I would like to keep changing and growing. It’s not that I’m not happy with my life (I am) but there are areas that I would like to work on. So right now I am going to sit down and concentrate on a plan for 2008 that I will work on to make this goal attainable. This may take a while since I’m not the type to think ahead or plan things out. It seems that making decisions is difficult for me. Any hints or ideas of how to do this would be so helpful.
