Where are you in comparison to where you thought you'd be when you were twelve?

[Ninot]

When I was twelve, I thought I would be a university student at this point.

I'm a year late, but here I am.

I never imagined I'd still be poking around websites like this tho. Also thought I might be closer to moving out. Oh wells.

How about yous? Lets hear some life stories.

I thought I would have died in an Air Force mission by the time I was 35.

Seeing as I actually joined the Army and not the Air Force (and have since honorably discharged after 12 years) and see no possibility of this happening, I am nowhere near where I thought I would be, and I guess thats a good thing.

Hurray for surviving!

I wanted to be a professional astronomer, I'm close in that I'm an amatuer astronomer.

[Zopperoni]

I thought I'd become a(n) (industrial) designer, but here I am, graduated in commercial business administration

[Lul Thyme]

I thought I'd be a mathematician (really).
I'm doing my Master's so everything going to plan on that side I guess.

I didn't really think about what I'd be at my current age. However, I did think that I'd "take my freedom" from my parents as soon as I'd turn 18, and yet I'm living with my parents again

I thought i was going to be an architect. I'm an SAP technical consultant.
I'm not happy about this.

Not sure what I wanted to be at that age, either comic book writer, professional football player, or mayor. Pretty much heading to non of these (or nothing at all, for that matter).

I figured I would be a Neurologist, or a Priest. I also figured I would have my mother living into her 90's, like her mother and grandmother, and that my brother would always be there for me.

Instead I'm a contracted out Air Traffic Controller, whose mother died at 52, and whose brother is so mentally f*cked up he'll never be OK - oh, and I left the Church. Conversely, I have a wonderful little girl who I could not have imagined even if there were prenatal order desks - except dear God could you have let her inherit just a LITTLE BIT LESS OF HER DADDY'S STUBBORNNESS - so I'm still doing OK.

[Immortal Wombat]

Pretty much where I thought I'd be, only with more computer and less money. Unfortunately, in the intervening years I still haven't got around to planning any further ahead than next year.

Since the internet did not exist when I was twelve, I also didn't think I would be on this type of site .

At twelve I had simply no clue where I would be or what I would be doing at age 37, but I think employed , married and with a child would have definitely been contemplated

Considering that I am single, I am damn happy to live with y parents. I have someone at home, and thus I don't feel too lonely. And I have an excellent relationship with my parents

[Stuie]

I thought I'd be married with five kids and living in the suburbs.

Now I know: four kids is more than enough.
