Goal statements:

Look, I hate these. This isn't how I function on a regular basis. Setting goals, what it does is it gives you an idea of how to achieve your dreams. I know how, and moreover, I don't want to know. I wish life could simply flow and people would be okay with that.

In 10 years I will be towards the beginning of a career in the computer science or tech writing fields.
It is connected to a dream, multiple values, and education/career/financial.

In 3 years I will be nearing the end of my college career and prepared for the imminence of real life.
Connected to a dream, values, etc.

In 6 months I will have a job.
Fantastic, right?

By next week, I will have my paper done for creative writing.
