Travel The World
I have a desire to explore various parts of the world, with a particular focus on Japan and Europe. I would like to experience their rich cultures, historical landmarks, and unique traditions, to gain a deeper understanding of their histories and lifestyles. Also, going to Japan in particular would be especially enjoyable, since I have friends who were enrolled at the University of Memphis originally from parts of Japan.
Build My Own Video Game
I really have always had the idea in the back of my head that it would be fun to fully develop a game alone, or with a group of individuals. I think it would be a rewarding endeavor, as I would learn numerous things from embarking on this type of a project. I also think that I would really enjoy the process and maybe I could become a developer at some point, but this may just be wishful thinking.
Further My Knowledge In C-Based Languages
Although I did take a college class on C, C++ in college, I feel that fully learning C++ would be greatly beneficial not only in a career setting, but also with my knowledge of how everything works within a PC. This is not to say I do not understand these processes, but with higher level languages, like Python, a lot of the memory management and other logic is done for you. I have a grasp of this concept, but fully mastering how to manipulate this concept, along with many other concepts would be beneficial to my confidence as a programmer, and would really be interesting to embark on.
Buy A Home
As much as I have loved living at home my whole life, I would really enjoy having a place of my own for myself and my eventual wife and children. It would be a huge accomplishment for myself, and would really be something I would be proud of.
Paying Off Student-Debt
In the modern-day, college is extremely expensive. A consequence of this in my life comes in the forms of student loans that I had to take at the time in order to attend college. It would take a huge burden off of my life to get these paid of in a fast manner, and would allow me to live more freely and without constraint. Doing this would also allow me to feel like less of a burden to those involved with the debt, since the debt can affect more than just myself.
Find A Job That Fulfills My Personal Motivations
Although I am not in a direct field that always deals with this concept, I would like to find employment in a place where I feel that I am doing more than just my job. I mean this more in the sense that my job is helping otheers in one way or another, either directly or indirectly. My whole life I have witnessed that some things are bigger than yourself, and I would really like to find a way to this concept, hopefully for the rest of my life.
Live Life To The Fullest Potential
It is easy to be stuck in life in a cycle of living to work, rather than working to live. I understand that in life you have to make sacrifies to succeed, and that is not ever been an issue to me. However, it is easy to be in a cycle of only working, while not actually getting to experience all the small things in life that we do not notice all the time. I really want to be able to sit back on my life when I am retired and reflect on the things I experienced, rather than reflecting on what I wished I would have done when I was younger.
