Brain defect
When lost in my own thoughts, I keep thinking to myself, "When I grow up, it would be nice to live in... When I grow up, I'll have a garden... When I grow up, I'll travel with my girlfriends once a year..."
Make sure you start doing as soon as possible. I know lots of people who said that at 25 & are still saying it at 40. I know it's tough to do lots when young & in school, but don't pass up any opportunities along the way. For the most part, I have jumped on my chances to travel, etc. I have never regretted any of them, no matter how tired or broke I thought I was at the time. The ones that haunt are the ones passed up. It's good to dream, but it's better to act. Of course, since you Europeans get like 26 weeks of vacation a year, it will be easier to do than it is for us insane Puritan work ethic 2 - 3 weeks of vacation a year Americans.
