I need Bigger Goals

For a laidback person, I am pretty much the usual deal; relaxed, without a care in the world, no hurry to get anywhere.. well, you know the type. It's fun, especially if your superpower is daydreaming. And that is no exaggeration! I am yet to meet someone who daydreams as much as I do. I have literally daydreamed the last decade away. I know this because I am
  • not the top scorer for Manchester United.
  • not a ladies man I imagine myself in my head
  • overweight though slightly, equivalent to the size of a baby(elephant)
  • constantly suffering from shortness of breath when I reach the end of the flight of stairs
  • unaware of the anything taught to me during my bachelor's degree
  • constantly confused about what I am saying and why
The list goes on. I do not remember doing much for the last decade, only wishing. The only achievement is developing an autopilot mode that is impossible to catch. I have faked so many conversations over the time that I should be awarded a PhD in psychobullshitting for developing a mode of conversation that goes nowhere and yet the other person feels enlightened and thanks me for muttering single syllable words that have nothing to do with the context. Or may be I should just become a therapist.
Anyway, that being said, I do not wish to continue like this. So I need some goals, and they need to be biggies, because you know, baby steps are for sissies. Also, my biggies might be someone else's baby steps. so no judging. I wanted to do a few things in 2015, apart from the usual lose weight, run, read, do not daydream blah blah. The biggest one was studying abroad. I have got admission into this technology management program in canada, so that is something. And since this is a good time for changing some of my habits, by which I mean all of them, I should list some other things that I wanna accomplish this year. 
  • Run 10 km in 45 min.
  • Read at at least 10 books.
  • Review these 10 books on Goodreads.
  • Save a few bucks.
  • Eat healthy
  • Average one blog post every week, even if it means writing gibberish, or accepting that's all I write.
  • Make new friends, and have actual conversations with them. (this is harder than it looks)
  • Make the most of the course, which means taking it seriously, again a daunting task for me.
  • Stay in the present as much as I can.
  • And have a great time, even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone.
I hope to live out this phase of my life with no regrets, which is most I can ask of myself. As for what actually happens, that we'll see sooner than later.
