I’m not a fan of wish lists because I usually don’t like material gifts. But this time, it’s not about gifts.

If I want to grow as a person, I need to set goals and work toward them. So here is my wish list for 2025. The goals should center around building a schedule and discipline. If I want to become the person I want to be, it can’t be a one-time thing.

I don’t want to set too high expectations because I won’t achieve them. I want to set realistic goals that I can achieve and have fun along the way. The goals should align with who I want to become; they should focus on learning and being.

• Read around one paper a month and try to understand it. I’m not restraining myself on what I learn; if I find a new passion, I can learn it, but it needs to be structured.
• Write 1 or 2 blogs during the year. Maybe writing about the papers I read could be cool.
• Go on vacation—whatever the destination—just taking a few days off and doing something, not waiting for uni/work to start again.
• Take care of my relationships. It’s not 1980; friends are important, and we need to take care of each other.

I hope that by having something that I know I like, I’ll be more motivated to do it.

I’ll see myself next year and hopefully be happy of 2025.
