Goals

Animation - I'll be graduating this spring with a major in animation. Goal: Get a job. The hardest and most important goal on this list, and the one that needs to be accomplished first.

Drawing - When I'm not doing my work, I like to draw and color on the side. As my stress level has risen, I have found myself unable to draw for fun anymore. I miss the feeling of it.
Goal: To return to drawing for fun and improve my skills in the process. And be happy with it.

Cooking - Cooking is my favorite thing to do currently. I just love the alchemy involved with making something out of nothing...or in some cases something out of a lot of things. I have stacks of cookbooks but I don't often get to them, I sometimes find myself relying too much on simple things like spaghetti. Tim from Lootie + Doof has said that you should never make a recipe twice, and he says he sticks to that, except for his very favorites. That way, you have time to discover all the things you haven't made yet. Now I could never be that extreme, I love finding something and making it all the time. But I need to make an effort to really explore what my books have to offer, and hopefully even start through Martha Stewart's Cooking School.
Goal: To be able to make a whole library of recipes and memorize their processes, so that I can improvise on a whim with the resulting knowledge.

Home Decor - Like cooking, a more fun goal. I currently live in a place with all white walls and pale aging furniture. And there's nothing I can do about it, but it's just god awful drab. I cannot wait to move after graduation, and fix up a nice little apartment full of life and decorations that are unique to me.
Goal: To paint and decorate my future residence in order to make a colorful and bright atmosphere that will me make feel at home.

Films - Film is very important to my career seeing as I am trying to enter the film industry. With that in mind it is very important to watch films and understand what makes them good, or even what makes them bad, and to really know your material and history.
Goal: To get a Netflix account and watch as many movies as I can so I can be more knowledgeable about both classic and recent films.

Pets - A simple goal, but living without one for four years really shows you how lonely it can get. I need somebody to be there for me when my friends can't be, especially when it comes to moving somewhere new.
Goal: To adopt a dog or cat (eventually both) once I move in to my new place.

My last main goal is hard to talk about. That's because it has to do with more intangible things. It has to do with my whole lifestyle. When I've imagined myself in the future, I've thought of myself as being a more colorful person, exploring new places, being more expressive in my clothing or jewelry, trying new foods, doing new things, running around with my future dog, being overall more confident and happy with myself. So I suppose it can be summed up in a way that I want to become the person I imagined I would be.
