Honestly, I want to learn all the things and just gain as much knowledge as I can through this life. Putting this list together was heavy struggle for me and it may change throughout the years, but as a basis this is where it is starting.
Knowledge Goals:
- Read 1000 books
- Right out the gate with a big number and after seeing how difficult I’ve been struggling with a list of 100 things, I somehow believe that I can read 1000 books. I track all the books I read and have read on goodreads and currently I am up to 307 books read. Also, for this goal I’m not talking every book is a novel. Essentially, everything that I track on my goodreads will count and that includes novels, short stories, web serials, manga, manhwa, comics, etc. Just anything that I read and I think values to be added on my goodreads.
- Fluent Spanish
- I’m a Puerto Rican that has terrible Spanish and that needs to be fixed.
- Proficient Korean
- This just sounds fun and not gonna lie I am mostly learning this because I’m currently on a kdrama kick. Plus, the language is super interesting and now being able to recognize Hangul randomly whenever I’m out in town is cool.
- Obscure history
- I am not sure how I will know if I have fulfilled this goal. Perhaps, know over 10 obscure history things that become my go to conversation topic. Classify them as known obscure history after I have had good conversations with people about the history. And by good conversations I mean actually having real conversation about the topic and not just me talking at a person about this cool fact.
- Connoisseur of Tea
- I love tea. Therefore, I must be a tea master.
- Study Business
- Ironically, I actually already do lots of business-y type things, but I don’t have proper education and I am getting to a point in my life where it is becoming a bit more essential to have the research. Can’t really wing things any more when lots of people and money are involved.
- Art History
- I’ve always wanted to be the person that sees a painting and be like “oh yes, this is a Rembrandt.” To do that I’m going to have to study up on art styles and actually have a better understanding of how to tell the difference of art styles and the era it was done. Sadly, a lot of the time the meaning of art just goes over my head and I just nod like I get it, when really I am heavily lost.
- Astronomy
- I’m not gonna lie this is absolutely an excuse to get into stargazing and to rationalize my want of a telescope. (Was originally Oceanography, but for the life of me I could not get into anything ocean related)
- Study a Theory
- Not sure which one, but I would like an in-depth scientific one with lots of material out there, so I can get as much of an understanding as I can about it.
- Learn something I have no prior interest in
- This will help me get out of my comfort zone of knowledge and maybe gain an appreciation for a topic that I normally wouldn’t care for.

lots of reading! With reading children’s books I’m already at 75 books this year…but that does count TFIOS three times…so far….My friend at college wants to learn Korean! She wants to teach in South Korea! I want to learn sign language so baddly! When I’m sick or just get up I do not feel like talking and even though my girl and I only know like a dozen or so signs it’s so fun to just sign things to her and not have to say anything and she understands! I started this year with teaching myself 3 signs a week but once I finished the alphabet and the first lesson in a very on ASL book I’ve kinda stopped because I need to review those to make sure I have them down…I also have no one to speak it with, and learning from just a drawing is kinda difficult. I think there’s an ASL class at school, I need to take it!! Also, tea. Tea is life. And the ocean really scares me. It’s so creepy, but one day mermaids will be found! They are hiding from us!! Good goals!! Lots of things to expand your mind in so many different ways!
