    My first goal is to finish graduate school. Then I want to leave this ridiculously hot state and move either to the west coast or back to my home state of Minnesota. Next I want to get a high paying job and meet the man of my dreams. I want to fall in love, get married, and possibly raise some kids with him. I want us to have a nice suburban middle class home with a big lawn and a dog. I want us to grow old together (my husband, not the dog, although I hope the dog lives a long time too :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: ). Then around 2060 I will retire, unless the technological singularity is achieved by then. If that happens then we'll all be eternally young cyborgs. With centuries ahead of us maybe we'll help colonize another planet or take over the galaxy... ok I better stop now since my goals are getting more and more insane. :lol:

    Get published in a high impact journal, finish my degree, and get a professorship at a good research university, and finally start my own lab working on the things that really interest me. Oh, and meet someone along the way.

    Just live long enough to grow old. Hopefully have someone to do that with me. That's really it. I just live. :slight_smile: Don't get me wrong. I have goals in life and I work towards them, but I don't like over-thinking and stressing about it. I just roll with the punches.

    This one suits me fine:

    I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    To become dictator of the USA, and if that works out well, graduate to Emperor of the World. And if that works out, attack Mars and conquer it. And if that works well, move on to becoming the Supreme being of the Galaxy and beyond.

    You know, small goals.
