Its hard to imagine what life will be like ten years from now. At times, I feel so caught up in my life right now that imagining what next week will be like seems to be a difficult task! It seems like life is a whirlwind; constantly moving, staying way too busy, and feeling like you never get to catch your breath! At this point in my life, imagining the future is somewhat scary! I say everyday that I can't wait until I'm done with school and actually have a career, but actually sitting down and thinking about it makes me rethink my rushing it to be over! When I do finally finish, I'm going to be on my own, and that's the reality that will be hard to face! No more money from the parents every week, no more partying every weekend, no more sleeping in on days I have late classes, no more of the way college life is in general! Its going to be work everyday, supporting myself and having responsibilities that I'm not used to having! But, even so, its all a part of growing up, and in ten years, I imagine a good life!
Ten years from now I want a lot of things. I want to have a successful career doing things that I truly enjoy. I want the type of job that I actually look forward to getting up and going to every morning, but not the kind that overtakes my life. I'm planning on graduating with a degree in marketing so I assume something in that field will be where this wonderful job will be, but that's not all I want as far as a job goes! I've always wanted to be a cosmetologist and hope to be able to have a salon of my own one day. This won't necessarily be a full time affair, but I would love to be able to do it on the side. Clearly this would come after my career in the marketing field took off seeing as how money would be in high demand to even begin thinking about starting something like that!
In ten years I also want a wonderful personal life. I want to find and marry the man of my dreams and spend a few years with it being just the two of us. Then I want to have a family. I want kids, not sure how many, but I'm guessing that this will be determined by the first one!! I want the picture perfect family, the one that everyone wishes they could have. I want to be able to be completely involved in my kids' lives and be a wonderful mother to them, as well as wonderful wife for my husband. I will be completely devoted to my family; they will definitely be my first priority in life!
Overall, I imagine my life to be fantastic in ten years, or I hope it is at least! Happiness, with every aspect of a persons life, seems to be lessening in today's world, but I hope for the complete opposite. I have learned by watching others, and through my own experiences, that life is too short to be unhappy. Ten years from now I want to be living the life of my dreams, but I also want to look back on the previous ten years with absolutely no regrets and all smiles. In ten years, I hope to have accomplished all of the things that I mentioned above...and more!

Even if you have a few regrets to look back on, always remember - it's how you RESPONDED to those regrets and became a better person that defines how you grow. It's okay to make a few mistakes along the way. But with high expectations for yourself, like you seem to list here, I don't think you'll have too many. =o)
