Go to Italy
Go to New York (Going to be hopefully completed this summer!)

If the infectious disease doctor thing doesn't work out, do something awesome with Information Systems Technology.

Have a steady relationship with someone.
Not all of these things may happen but I'd love it if they did. xD

Most Importantly I would love to start a campaign or something that spreads the word about child sexual abuse. Most people are not aware of the facts and statistics. I would love to be able to make people knowledgeable on the subject in hopes to one day end child sexual abuse.

2. Run my own private counseling practice
3. Get married and have at least 2 kids and adopt at least once
4. Be a foster parent

6. Help non-sufferers understand depression/suicidal ideation and other maladaptive behaviors
7. Go to Hawii
8. Write a book
9. Work at a program/school for troubled teens
10. Try martial arts, since I took a self-defense class that changed my life
I think that's everything, maybe my list isn't so strange after all.

2. Own a bookstore. I love books. Why not?
3. Own a coffee shop. I love coffee so damn much.
4. Get married. Hopefully to Shane. I love him, and I would love to have that moment with him.
5. Save lives. Every day. I would just.. smile.
6. Write every important person (to me) a long detailed letter of why I love them and other such things.

I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons.
And maybe we’ll never know most of them.
But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from,
we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them. PM|VM|EMAIL

Just came up with one that I really would hope to happen:
I'd like to save a life
"What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?"
-George Eliot
"Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it."

Practical Things: Get married, have 2 children, adopt a child, get my PHD in psychology and start my own private practice.
Fun Things: Go cliff-diving in Greece, travel the world (cliche, huh), spend a year as a roadie for Invisible Children, go to Warped Tour, see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
That's just some of them. But I also want to do what they did on that MTV show The Buried Life. Every time I do something on my list, I want to help someone out in their lives. I know I won't be able to help people on the same level that the kids on the show did. I don't have the funds. But I just want God to use me to help others while I achieve my dreams.
