Goals for 2011-2021

Turning 18 years old in 2011, I began to think about the seemingly limitless possibilities that opened up.  I also wondered about the amount of time I to take advantage of these new possibilities and how overwhelmingly limited it seemed in comparison.  I figured I'd make myself a list of things to do so that I could get the most out of life.  However, I decided that, unlike a bucket list that has the day you die as the end date, my list would end in 2021, ten years after I turned 18.  It just seemed better.

It would be unbelievable if I managed to do half the things on my list let alone everything so my goal for this list is to attempt all, but succeed at eight.  Eight would make me a happy camper.  Here's a look at some:

• Learn how to play piano and/or (ideally "and") guitar
• Become a decent cook
• Go CouchSurfing
• Travel West across America
• Continue studying Spanish
• Go to Oktoberfest
• Take a motorcycle from the west coast of Ireland to St. Petersburg
• Watch both the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis
• See the Night Sky unadulterated
• Go to the East Coast in Autumn
• Experience El Clasico
• Watch a Total Solar Eclipse
• Explore a cenote
• Go storm chasing
• Learn more languages (Russian, Arabic, German, Italian, French, the list could go on)
• B.A.S.E. jump with a wingsuit in Norway
• Live with a Native Tribe
• Go off the grid for a period of time

There's a whole lot more to this list that I'm just too lazy to put on.  I might add more or edit this list to make it an actual method of keeping track of things or I might not.  We'll see.
