What are your priorities?

I had been wondering about posting this for a while, but another discussion led me to actually post it.

What are your priorities in life?

Mine turn out something like this:

1) Health--if I croak, everything else is kinda irrelevant.
2) Family--I kinda do like them.
3) School--call me the long-term type
4) WUSC and FIRST--I place them equally, since one occasionally will trump the other (a preseason meeting for a DJ meeting, or my show for Robot Rodeo, for example).
5) Preston College--there are 25 residence halls on campus, plus multiple off-campus options. I happen to enjoy Preston, and I do what I can to stay involved in it (as I do have to re-apply for next year).

Let's hear the list!

Re: What are your priorities?

Well, currently my priorities are not what I want them to be:
1) Robotics
2) Robotics
3) Robotics
4) Robotics
5) Robotics
6) School & grades
7) Family

Health is nowhere close to it, I'm surviving on no sleep this week because of exams

And here is what I would like my priorities to be[obviously never going to happen]:
1) Health
2) School & studies
3) Family
4) Robotics

Re: What are your priorities?

1. Having fun...what else are you supposed to do during life...absolutely nothing.
2. Friends/Family
3. My car
4. School (cause I'm having fun...and it will allow me to have more fun in the future)
5. Robotics

You will never find health on my list. If I die tomorrow I want to know that I have enjoyed my life to its fullest. I can die tomorrow or a hundred years from now and it won't make a lick of difference because nothing matters except having fun. The rest of the things on my list assist in #1.

Re: What are your priorities?

For the next 4 months:

1.) Robotics
2.) Graduating (which consists of grades, getting my senior project done, and finishing my portfolio)
3.) Working

For the summer:
1.) Getting a car
2.) Working
3.) Taking trig at the Junior College


And there may be some family mixed in there somewhere...

Re: What are your priorities?

Hmmm... this is a toughy.

2. Don't do anything stupid to hurt myself or get sick (so I can fly often)
3. Keep my supervisor happy during my co-op job/get good grades in college (afford to fly)
4. Stay fit, run every day, learn how to control my muscles through karate class or yoga (so I will be better at flying)
5. Stay involved with FIRST (gotta do something fun when weather is bad)
6. Do something cool every weekend (have more stories to share with people who fly)

*Basically, be content that if I were to die on any given day; that I would have no regrets. I'll know that I've done the best with the time given; no longer how long or how short.

And my #1 priority is!!!!
(take a wild guess )

Re: What are your priorities?

Here we go!

1) School
I immerse myself in schoolwork. Yah, it hurts romance relationships a good deal. Kids, if you wanna fall in love don't study cancer during highschool and get addicted to your lab like I am doing.

2) Family
Huge commitment for me. My closest family lives here in Indiana, and the next closest lives in New Jersey. Then onto Israel, Europe, etc. I am doing my best to stay in touch, and work and do what I can.

3) My friends
This really ties into robotics, since so many of my friends are in it. However, in general, friends are of huge importance.

4) Health
This is really important, but sometimes, you just gotta give up that extra hour of sleep to study. I try not to, and I drink water to make up for it. I'm fortuante to keep an extremely healthy diet and have really good build and be in good shape, but I do love Cinnabon so...

5-100) To echo Kyle...ROBOTICS!

Not to be confused with my life goals:
1) Get more hugs
2) Get taller
