When I was birthed

Switching to public school - 6th Grade

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:10:40 UTC

I went from a private lutheran school to a public middle school. It was a bit of an intimidating transition, because at my old school, each grade could fit in one classroom each. This made me more outgoing, made me more friends, and gave me further life experience.

Beginning to Drive - 2023

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:13:40 UTC

I started driver's ed and eventually passed through it. I got my license just a few days before school started, so it was a little scary to drive for the first time, but after a few days I hardly had to think about it. This allowed me to see more and do more, as well as giving me a sense of responsibility.

Meeting my Current friends - 2021-2022

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:15:45 UTC

In freshman year, I was sat right next to my current friends in a lot of my classes. It didn't take long for it to grow into one big group, and these people shaped my humor, personality, and even hobbies.

Parents divorce - Around 2010-12

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:17:03 UTC

I don't remember it very well since I was young, but my parents divorced. It didn't really change much about me since it happened so early, and I was used to it from a young age. But, it allowed me to meet my stepdad and step family, and made my mom happier.

Getting first job - 2021-2022

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:18:15 UTC

I'm not sure of the exact year, but my mom, for my birthday, got me a job application as a cashier. I wasn't too happy at the time, but earning my own spending money and developing experience was well worth it.

Finish building bus - 2024-2025

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:19:21 UTC

Me and my friends bought an actual full-sized bus, and we plan to renovate it so that we can drive around together as a big group. This allows me to grow closer to my friends and have a lot of fun while doing it.

Present age - (16) 2023

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:20:25 UTC

Not much to say here, goin' through it.

Skydiving - By 2032/25 years old.

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:22:02 UTC

I don't have an exact date for this, since I would go skydiving at any given moment if given the chance. I'm obsessed with the clouds and sky, and adrenaline rushes, so skydiving seems like the perfect experience for me. Just depends on convincing friends and getting money.

Scuba diving - By 2032/25 years old

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:23:17 UTC

Same as before, no exact date. Just have to travel somewhere where I can actually do this, find the money, and the right people to go with. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the ocean, but a warm place with beautiful bright fish and reefs would be amazing.

Figure out potential colleges - 2024

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:24:22 UTC

As junior year starts to close in on me, I've realized I need to find a college to aim for. I hope to do this by my birthday in march, and at least get bearings on fields I'm interested in.

Find out dream career/potential career - 2024-25

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:25:28 UTC

I should definitely figure this out before I graduate, and I'm hoping to decide by the end of junior year. So far, tech/computer science has interested me, but I'm not sure if it's the job for me.

Age of Risk - 78 years old

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:27:05 UTC

Supposedly when I'll go kaput.

Move into own home after college - ~22

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:32:46 UTC

I hope to be able to move into my own place after college, and finally start living completely unaided. Not exactly excited per se, but it will be a goal and big event of mine.

Graduate college - ~22

bautjad — 2024-02-02 19:33:23 UTC

After discovering my career and college choice, I hope I can stick with it and graduate as soon as possible.
