This weekend I was at home for fall break, which was so wonderful and it was so nice to have a break from the pressures of school, and I got to hang out with some of my best friends from high school. We were talking when one of my friends asked, "Where do you want to be in 2 years?"
This question really got me thinking because 2 years seems like a long time but I feel like it is going to fly by. I can't believe that I'm already over halfway done with my undergraduate degree and all of my elders keep telling me that time keeps moving faster the older you get. Well, we decided to write down where we want to be in 2 years and we are planning on getting together to go over these lists when the time comes to see if we achieved everything we were hoping to.
So, where do I want to be in 2 years?
I hope that I have a teaching job somewhere and I hope that I am enjoying it as much as I am hoping that I will. I don't have a place where I want to teach but I'm hoping I can stay in the Minnesota/North Dakota area. Along with having my first "real" job, I also want to buy my first car!
Within the next 2 years I want to travel outside of the US, preferably outside of North America. Everyone says to travel while your in college because you may never find the time when you are older and I'm hoping that I can embark on some amazing journeys, hopefully with some of my amazing friends!
I would love to be in a relationship, maybe be in love, or even engaged! I hope that my special someone is out there!
There were many other things that I wrote down but as I was reading through my list I thought, what does all of this really matter if I'm not happy? In 2 years, no matter where I am in the world, what I'm doing, or what I've accomplished, I hope that I am happy with all of the decisions that I have made and where I am in my life.
