I'm sorry, I couldn't resist incorporating a horrible piece of outdated pop-culuture… so on with this list.

Highschool- I want to share an opinion. Admittedly, I am easily annoyed. One of the things that has always burned my bacon is when people "over-share" their opinion. When someone is unwilling to consider any opposition to theirs, when someone writes off another thought as wrong because it doesn't mirror their own, when someone is incapable to voice their opinion without insinuating an argument. On the other end are those with no voice- someone who will willingly say the sky is colored highlighter yellow to agree with the popular opinion. I think it is a struggle to find the middle ground between an overbearing satan spawn and a docile submissive child, and fewer people than more have been able to master it. The people I admire most are those with the capability of sharing their opinions, thoughtfully and patiently. They allow others to influence their views, but aren't faltered by the minority choice. They can express their thoughts, but don't resort to anger or uncivilness. I hope to master that middle ground.

College- I suppose my broader goal in college would be to survive. Survival necessitates the basics- food, water, and shelter- which I do not forecast as a serious problem. But to socially survive, that is more arduous. I'm currently graced with great friends, whose friendships I plan to maintain and grow in as we get older. But the truth is that I will make new friends, and that isn't the problem. I can make conversation (awkwardly as it may be), I can ask questions, I can answer questions. But it's the idea that I will have to recreate the closeness of my current friends that is daunting… to truly be comfortable with someone or someones. So in essence, I hope in college to find a person or a persons who complement/s my aspects and I theirs.

Life and such- When my years have run out, I hope to have the qualities of my dog. To be a creature with an unshakable loyalty to those I hold close and with an eager outlook towards a life that I find joy in living. En sum, here's a photo of one of my pups, Panda. Even with a plastic disc wrapped around her, have you ever seen a dog look this freaking happy?
