It's June 2025. What are you looking forward to in the next 6 months?

Should see some serious progress on some mental and physical fitness goals. Really excited about that!

Trying to get into better shape through better diet and getting back into cycling. Enjoying it so far, although only in week 2.
Also, going on holiday to France soon, first time I've been abroad in years, can't wait!
- sounds fun dude, enjoy
  
  Thanks! 😁

There is a chance, albeit somewhat small, that I will finally be able to pay off my student loans in the next six months.
Started at $60,000 and now they're down to like 14. But I'm expecting a pretty large bonus coming up in the next few months, And if it does come through and no unexpected expenses pop up to take it away, then there's a chance.

Good weather activities! Like:
Biking! Street Fairs! Free concerts! Farmers markets! Parades!

Collapse of the us. Genuinely hope it happens this time instead of people just accepting having fewer rights again.
- Kind of twisted to wish for a situation that will inevitably kill countless people
  
  As opposed to the countless people currently being killed?

Nothing. Recently lost my job and have absolutely no confidence that I'll be able to get another; so life is pretty much at a standstill until something happens with that.
- I can't say anything to make it better, just know that I'm there too. A little peace in solidarity?

Going to the UK for 10 days in October, very excited for that.
- What part of the UK are you heading too?

I have 50m2 garage I want to turn into a workshop mainly for sewing but also for other compatible activities like origami.
My dream would be to make it available to other people as some sort of creative space.
The objective for the next 6 months is to clean the yard that leads there, get rid of most of the stuff stored in there and find an advisor (not sure if it is the right word) to help me with the renovation process because I have no clue.

Academic year is largely done, so I'm looking forward to three months of kicking the arse out of my gaming to-play list; getting out running more; and spending time with the family.
For the second three months, I'm looking forward to enjoying the study and achieving good grades, before it fades away into another nine month slog and the pass mark becomes the target and not the minimum 😂

I guess for me there are two festivals I am looking forward to. Also..saving. My cat got really sick last winter, which did cost me a lot and now I am trying to build up my savings again. I also hope that he will pass smoothly, unfortunately the latest diagnosis for him was dire.

Getting the hell out of Texas. I'm moving to Pennsylvania in a month and change after living in Texas for almost 10 years and hating it here the whole time. It'll be nice to be out of the aggressively backwards deep-red South. Kinda wish I was moving southwest instead of northeast, but that shit's just way too expensive. Plus it'll be nice to be out of the oppressive heat and humidity of the Gulf Coast for 8 months out of the year.

i'm looking forward to getting a stable-ish job after my trial period. i already accepted an internship and have another offer on the table that can fill in my time nicely
i'm also looking forward to playing Patapon 1 & 2 replay, and Ratatan, and maybe even Silksong but it's been so long i'm not sure it's not just a collective hallucination

Extinction of the human race. Failing that, I’m looking forward to buying a non-HP wide format printer for printing TTRPG maps (my players aren’t keen on VTTs). Maybe an overpriced European Espresso/Cappucino machine, too.

  We're almost there

Well I'm finishing school in the next couple of weeks, so that's great.
Also will probably start redoing my driver's license (I started 3 years ago, had to pause because of school) and start saving money for a Ninja 250r.

The same only thing we’ve had to look forward to every night, Pinky: the next installment in an entertainment media franchise

Vacation baby! Portland & south Carolina! I get to visit my storage unit and pull out all my guitars !

Developing some home automation using NodeRed and a bunch of cheap ESP32s I got on aliexpress. Been studying up on it lately. All I really want to do is turn lights on and off, but wirelessly. Also doing more 3d design & printing, and making some kind of impressive Halloween thing - I kind of want a large floating eyeball, maybe suspended from a dark pole up on the roof so it's out in the air like it's levitating. The bigger the better. It would be cool to detect motion and have the eye move like it's following people, and of course blink. And fog. There must be fog.
