I personally believe that everyone needs something to look forward to in the near future. It's nice to think of something down the line (getting engaged, graduating, a big trip, etc.) but I think to look forward to small things every day is a good attitude to live life.
I'm looking forward to my birthday (which is in 3 weeks), friday (done my MCAT) and June 2 (my friend comes back from Scotland). All of those are pretty soon and whenever I feel bored or just "bleh", I like to think "but I have something else to brighten my week soon!"
What're you looking forward to in the near future?
If you don't have anything, then something in the far future.
