    1. as a spouse/significant other ~ I never would have thought I would fly back and forth for a long distance relationship (on top of even ever having a relationship... Guys weren't exactly fighting to get my attention before I met my spouse)

    2. as a parent (if applicable) ~ I never thought I would be almost Zen... or want to be a modern day June Cleaver.

    3. as a friend ~ I never would have thought that I could have so many "best friends" turn into acquaintances.

    5. as a sibling ~ I never thought I wouldn't be talking to my brothers on a continual basis instead of ever few months

    6. as a daughter/son ~ I never thought I would be as close to my mom as I am (we butted heads a lot when I was living at home and it wasn't until I was about to be a mom myself that I started to call her nearly nightly)

    7. being adventurous ~ I'm not quite as adventerous as I want to be.

    8. for yourself/to yourself ~ I never would have thought that I would have been as introverted as I have become.

    9. as a student ~ See number 4... it nearly cost me graduating... even though I had a 3.25 coming out of Jr College.

    1. as a spouse/significant other- fall out of love with him.. then fall back in love more than ever! Celebrating our 10 year anniversary this November 1st.

    2. as a parent (if applicable)- Have twins. Survive having twins. Stay coherent after having twins. Go completely insane during the first 9 months we had our twins. I am ashamed at the crazy places my head went... but 9 months without more than an hour or two of sleep a night and you get a bit delusional.

    3. as a friend- lose all of the friends I had as a kid. Make new ones. It happens, but you never know.

    4. as an employee- stay at this job for 5 years. I went through a BAD time here 3 years ago. I didn't think I'd survive, yet I did, and flourish.

    5. as a sibling- I'm an only child.. so moot point. :)

    6. as a daughter/son- not talk to my mom for a year based on a fight I had with her girlfriend. I am still hurt that she didn't defend me when that psycho went off on me for no reason.

    7. being adventurous- Ran a half marathon. That, for me, is adventurous.

    8. for yourself/to yourself- I'm still figuring out who I am. I'm much more comfortable in my skin than I was 10 years ago though. I dont feel like I need to prove anything to anyone anymore. It's quite liberating.

    9. as a student- not graduate college. I fully intend to remedy that situation once my twins start kindergarten.
