Things you hope to accomplish in life - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have always wanted to work in the film industry. My particular interests are screenwriting, producing, and directing. I am planning on applying to California State University, Fullerton this October and, if I'm accepted, I plan to major in Radio, Film, and Television. After my summer class, I have two more semesters to go and then I'm done with community college and general ed.

Many people want to be in acting but that has never really appealed to me. I'm a better writer than an actor. I have so many ideas that could be made into a motion picture and they are not remakes of movies and TV shows, which seems to be the trend nowadays.

After I graduate, I'm probably going to live in Las Vegas if I can't afford to live in San Diego or in Southern California. There I could start writing. In addition to writing and directing movies, I also want to be a novelist.

What goals do you have in life? For those older members, are you happy with what you have done in your life and have no regrets?

I'll go with the cliché and say to do well in high school and go to a relatively good college. I also want to pursue a profession in a field that I enjoy and live somewhere that makes me happy.

My dream is to be on Broadway. I've wanted to do this my whole entire life. I don't care if on my opening night, nobody at all comes to see me. I just want to get up on stage and sing my heart out. I know it will never happen, but sometimes I want it so much that I start to cry. I can't afford singing lessons... how can I be on Broadway if I can't sing?

I just posted this topic about a week ago. I guess you missed it.

Three words:

SING

I used to think that I couldn't afford scriptwriting lessons. Look at me now, I'm halfway there!!!!

I've just thought, I think I would like to become a film director.

Get married is my biggest goal in life. Along with that, lose the damn weight and live in NYC for a few years.

Pretty much.... ditto.
A few changes though:
This fall I plan on applying to Syracuse University and, thanks to going to a city school in Syracuse, I'm guaranteed acceptance. I will have to a work a little harder, on my own merits, to be accepted into the Newhouse Communications Center, where people such as Dick Clark, Aaron Sorkin, Grant Tinker, and Bob Costas have graduated from. It is there that I plan on majoring in Radio, Film and Television as well. It is a very expensive school, but I have been told that I will receive plenty of financial aid, considering I went to a Syracuse city highschool.

When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be an actor, but around 5th grade I discovered that I was a much better writer. It sounds as if we may be graduating at the same time, maybe a collaboration is in order?!

I do have a few ideas for movies, but I have dozens of ideas for possible television series. Screenwriting and producing are what I hope to pursue most, but I wouldn't put directing out of the question.

Giving myself a French Manicure that doesn't look like a three year old did it.

lol,Cahie

Anyway,my goals are to go to college and get a career in music.

Mijada · 06-30-2005, 04:29 PM

I've already accomplished what I wanted as far as education goes. I dreamed of going to art college when I was a kid and was able to do that. Even though it took me about 6 years to get through it, because I was working full time also, I managed to come out of it with a degree in illustration.
Now All I really want is to get married this fall and welcome my first child this December and hope fully have 1 or 2 more kids within the next five years.
I've always wanted to live in a house in the country and as of now we are working on accomplishing that goal. I'm hoping in about 2 years we will be all settled out there.

Here, here! That is if I can find someone who can stand me.

Other goals:
Good job with good pay. Right now it's in healthcare front office. I can't stand needles and other people's bodily fluids, so nursing is out. Maybe one day I can be a clinic manager.

Kids.

Maybe I'll write a novel one day, but even if I do, I doubt highly it will get published. That goal is too unrealistic.

Have a really nice house in a really cool area. None of these brand new, looks-the-same-as-the-house-next-door, cookie cutter neighborhoods with no trees. Those houses have zero character. I'd like something unique. Maybe in an older area.
