What the f*ck are you doing?
Snowzak:
Take your 'scaping frame of mind. Now think: what am I running away from by playing this awesome virtual world.
What drives you in life? Do you want a house, a car, a girl and a kid? Do you want to save the world? Smoke weed and party with no tomorrow? Become a celebrated author, scientist, astronaut, have a front page post on Reddit?
I wanted to ask people to re-intro 'cos I don't know them, but I feel this is an approach that could be more interesting.
What drives me: for the past 5 or 6 years, I wouldn't really see past university and committed myself to that and travelling the world whenever I could, but didn't really think about medium to long term life. I'd say now is the time when I'm realizing I want to get in more creative shit, not necessarily to make a living out of them, but I feel like I want to produce something worthwhile, and maybe even beautiful. Will probably try to get back into music and drawing. On a more serious side, I'm a committed environmentalist, mostly specialized in climate change, so getting a job related to that is on my list. Also keeping a foot in France while managing to speak tons of other languages seems like who I'd like to be, so roaming around the world seems like a good idea.

What drives me?
Travelling, seeing different cultures, having a nice car/house and really in general not looking at how much money i have left or what i "can afford". Im currently working a Ft 45 hour job and doing a Business Management Degree eventually i'll take over my dad's IT business but i want to do that once i've seen/done all the things i want to :) Gf also loves to travel so the list is extensive! In my leisure time then i like to watch films and catch as much footy as i can (Man U ## ##) as i don't get a great deal of free time due to work/uni/gf!
Nice topic.
Snowzak:
Work, uni AND gf, you've got it sorted ##
Wayshow:
Of course, my goal right now is to finish school and find a job. As an international student in the states, it's pretty rough. My dream job is to work in finance (or something non-engineering but math related) for Boeing, but we'll see! Im in no hurry to find a house or a partner, I'm actually quite content by myself. I also don't want to be tied down by the payments for a house, so I'll probably just rent until I'm 35. I also want to learn new languages (learning polish atm) and backpack all over the world, eating anything good that I see (and hopefully learning how to cook them).
Scimmy:
My goal right now is to get accepted into the Canadian Military, I've finished the PT and now am waiting till i turn 16 to start my appitude test, then a medical exam followng a interview, i'll hopefully be doing a co-op which will put me two years ahead while making 9k , i'll be in the reserves for the reminder of highschool then hopefully go regular force after that to become a weapons tech. What drives me is I want to serve for my country which put me where i am today as well as becoming the best person i can be :D
