1-5
year from now:
The first thing I know is that I will be done with my degree and from that I think/believe one of two things will happen. The first is me getting a real job and start a “real” life as an adult. With that I mean, as a student you don’t have the same amount of responsibility’s and you have more free time.
Option number two is for me to travel around a bit. This is something I would love to do once I’m finished, as it is one of the best chances to see the world before you start to settle down. I having a hard time imagining what my daily life will look like after school, I do hope I don’t end up in a routine, only work, get home sleep, meet friends once/twice a week and repeat. So what I really want in the next 5 years are me being able to travel around, don’t have to be too long but for a while. Still have great friends that can and wants to hang out often. A girlfriend, as I’m currently single I wouldn’t mind changing that. Lastly a want to work with something that I wouldn’t mind continue doing for the next 40 years (give or take). Right now these goals feels possible, the hardest one will most likely be the job. I still don’t know exactly what I want to do when I grow up so it’s really hard to tell. Getting the chance to travel is a must at some point, even if it means quieting an existing job to get a new one after I’m done. It’s not impossible I will get one outside of Sweden or one where traveling is included (fingers crossed). While I don’t think all the friends I have now will still be in my life in 5 years, I hope some are or that where ever I end up to meet some other great people.

6-50
years from now:
First of this is a huge timespan is it’s hard to tell what can/will happen. So I’m just going to say 27 years from now, that would make me 50 years young. I think most of my life is different by now, or all of it. Maybe not all of my personality has changes but that’s about it. I can just assume I have a family, however what ages my future kids would be by that is unknown (who knows I might even a grandkids by then) or they might still be very young , but I think they would be around my current age. By this point I don’t see myself as much of a party man or being with friends as much. I guess I would have gotten a hobby so I will have somethings to do on my spare time. I kind of hope I will still be able to/ wants to travels more but don’t think it will be for as long or far as before. With my career by this point I will stick with the job I have, can’t see any reasons why not. I might already be looking in to retirement but that’s another 15 years so.
I honestly don’t think it will be super special compared to most people at that age. I don’t think famous or fortune is something I should count on. But the only thing I want be this stage of life is to be happy. Cause as I see it right now is, if you can say you are happy with your life when you start moving to the second half of it, you probably had a good run by the end of it.

In general I have nothing
to base my assumptions on, I just look how the people I know that is close to
this age and see some common things, I mean worst case scenario I could die
tomorrow in an accident. But hey let’s not be negative and in 27 years the world
we know today is gone and what wonders (and slightly less good things) have the
human race been able to achieve by then?
our life’s might a taken a hug twist from that.
**I see now I missread, our daliy life as your daliy life when I wrote this xD Sorry about that

To start off, you took the daily life part of it a whole lot more serious than I did. You really started writing about YOUR day to day.
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm not a 100% sure about this but, was that really the objective for this exercise? I could be wrong, but that was NOT how I interpreted it.
Anyway, as a whole your text is pretty good and I understand where you're coming from with most of what you wrote. Also, good to know I wasn't the only one who thought that 6-50 years is a gigantic leap forward in time!
hello.
ReplyDeleteThanks for good thoughts and reflections. And a special type of text. I think all students just write about politics and that’s kind of boring in my perspective.
It seems to me that you are a very good thinker, a filose. That’s a good thing but sometimes it good to not think so match just does it. The life has different levels for sure. Studding, go to work, building family then you die. My thought is that it up to you how you want to live your life noting is written in the stone. if you know what i mean

i) I enjoyed reading your plans for the future. It’s great that you are positive about your near future. I think that you should travel around as much as you can before you settle down. It will feed your soul and you will enjoy life more than ever. I have traveled around the world quite a bit, so I’m speaking out of my own judgement from my experiences. Getting a job is not easy, but remember that it is hard for most people, so you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteii) I believe that you will settle down by the time you are 50 years young. I will guess that you will have a family and a great job. You don’t need to fame or a huge amount of money in your bank account to make you feel happy. Family and love is what matters the most. These other things are only great if you have someone to share them with.
