What will your life be like in three years?

I’m going to be honest, I suck at planning my future. I struggle to plan where I’ll be one year from now, let alone three or even five. The best I ever did was “I’m going to work for my current employer for at least seven years.” And now I’m almost at eight. So, go me for that plan!

But if I had to jot down some things I would like to have happen I can do that. I just won’t be in the “will be” camp. Can’t be too certain and I don’t like to plan for disappointment on major life events.

Anyways, where I would like to be or things I would like to have happen in the next three years? Let’s get a list going.

• Own a home
• Publish a novel
• Have my student loans paid off/forgiven (this is part of that “work for seven years” deal. Working for a nonprofit. Three years to go for the ten year requirement or whatever)
• Maybe meet someone and start a romantic relationship
• Visit friends in other States and Countries
• Find and purchase that motorcycle I really wanted (2015 Yamaha Bolt C-Spec, green)
• Maybe publish a second novel, while I’m at it

Do I have plans to accomplish any of these things? Not particularly. I start things and get sidetracked or something comes up that alters my course. So far the closest things I could see happening are owning a home and publishing a novel. (Doing NaNoWriMo this year for a change. One week in and I’m at 13,640 words!)

So there you go, stuff to aim for in the next three years.
