What are you looking forward to in the second half of 2020?

[DJStarstryker]

I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to anything, because US Election Day is in November. I'm not looking forward to that dumpster fire.

I'm kidding. Not about Election Day. About having nothing to look forward to. Fall is nice. Hopefully COVID is behaving more then and I can feel like I can do stuff outside of the house more. But regardless, some things are coming out in the fall that I'm looking forward to.

Assuming things calm down, I would really like to go to the anime convention I go to yearly. It was pushed back until September, but it still might be too early. I also have a 5 day weekend coming up in July I'm super psyched about. Indoors or not, just not having to stay on the phones all day is fantastic.

I was planning to (probably) go to Anime Weekend Atlanta again this year, which is around Halloween. I don't know if that's happening or not. Too soon to tell. Even if it happens, I may not go depending on COVID's status.

We really need something good to happen this year. This year has been one of the worst years of my existence so far, and I'm in my 30s.

i really really want to be able to hang out with my friends AND get to finally drive my car around and put it to use. i had my license for 2 years, but i didn't have car insurance for the longest time. and now that we're about to get it, i really want to drive it around and do whatever i want without having to ask for a ride hah. also, my family is talking about getting a cat!! i love cats and dogs, but i think i prefer cats more just because they're more independent. hopefully that'll happen soon here in 2020 to kinda brighten up the year for me.

my goal is to start working (preferably somewhere music related) i talk to my job advisor on the phone every couple of weeks which has been a very hopeful thing for me. in july-august i would also like to meet my best friend again

 

[Halloqueen]

I don't really have any big events later this year that I'm really looking forward to, other than the usual stuff, because I don't expect that the COVID situation is going to improve to any meaningful degree anytime soon. As always, I look forward to Fall, which includes Halloween and my birthday. Not looking forward to the dumpster fire of an election, though. Then, of course, Christmas and all of the usual fun and stress that comes with picking out gifts for people, baking cookies, etc.

Eventually when things calm down, I'm looking forward to seeing my best friend again and possibly moving.

Oh god alot is changing for me this year, Covid didn't have as big of an impact on me as others since I live with my grandpa (who is retired) and I'm 17 which I work mostly just on the side however when I turn 18 I'm moving away to go back and live with my mom (long story) which is in October which is a huge change and I'm dropping out of high school (senior year) and pursing my GED which is also another huge change that is happening for me.

Continued existence. Not really looking forward to it, still hoping for it.

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I just want things to get a little better considering the amount of stuff we've all been through in the first half of 2020. But in order to do that, we all must do our part to overcome these trying times.

 

[InstantNoodles]

Looking forward to seeing my parents (who live in a different country) in person and no longer being confined to my apartment. On a different note, I'm also looking forward to game releases such as Cyberpunk 2077 and (possibly) Elden Ring!

 

[LadyDestani]

I would like to see life return to some semblance of normality before the end of 2020. I can understand if precautions due to the virus still need to be taken, but it'd be nice to find ways to adjust and go on living instead of having so many things put on hold.

I'm also hoping for my dad to be cancer-free. He's been undergoing chemo/radiation and most recently surgery since the beginning of the year. The doctors just told him they didn't get all of the cancer with the surgery so he's got more treatments coming in the next few months.

For simple things, I'm looking forward to watching the live-action Mulan and the final season of Attack on Titan. I'm looking forward to my birthday in the fall and hopefully being able to see my niece and nephews again sometime soon.

Not dying.

 

[Envy]

I just look forward to the return of Fall and Winter. I can't stand this time of the year. It's so miserable and long. I'm ready for a return to nice weather and everything.

I also have something else that I'm looking forward to progressing, but that's personal.

Of course, I treasure every single day I have with my family and my dogs, though.

Being able to use my foot again after surgery and healing. Don't expect it before August/September though.

Oh my gosh. I had foot surgery last October. Being stuck in bed for so long really got to me. Thankfully for me, it was only four weeks that I had to stay in bed. I was allowed to start walking on that foot from that point forward, but let me tell you that foot gave me perhaps the very worst pain I've ever had when I began stepping on it again. It does get better... But beware!

Mainly just getting done with school. One semester closer to no more tuition sort of thing, y'know.

 

[Stella-Io]

Honestly I don't think Covid will be gone at that point, or at the very least, not as rampant as it was in the beginning of the year. One can hope thou.

If it does die down to a very minimal degree, or treatments are vast and many, then I'm looking forward to going out to eat at restaurants and going on vacation. After all of this, I need a whole month long vacation, these past couple of months really have been too much. I want to go out of town, I want to go on vacation and hang out with my one irl friend. There's this one donut place they said was really good, and once this does down then she'll take me there.

looking forward to uzumaki anime this year, moving out of our apartment and into a house with my hubby, and upgrading my beloved gecko out of a 20 gal and into a 40 gal! <3

Spoiler: here he is now!

Going to college to get my law degree. The quarantine gave me a lot of time to self reflect without having a day to day constant stress of work, cook, clean, sleep, repeat. I don't want to be in a min wage career. I wanna work my butt off doing something that benefits people. Not shuffle my feet and wait for something better than...this, to happen.

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

Well lets see...

July I go to Rockport for a week and I'm so excited because it's my favorite place to vacation in the summer and this year I get to spend it with my bf.
August I turn 19 and im running a 14 mile race on my bday (which is dope)
September I hopefully go back to college, I find out officially on June 31st but worse comes to worse we start early and end early or we do a mix of online and in person classes (I just miss my friends :/)
October is halloweekend which is so much fun at college
November is Thanksgiving and I like that bc of the food and also black friday shopping with my family
December is Christmas and that's my favorite holiday because I feel like there's so much you can do and also I really enjoy spending time with my family and friends at home

Yeah quarantine sucks but I am pretty adaptable. I enjoy being independent at college, but also at home I have my family, home friends, and my bf. Either way it was a win-win for me (I even preferred being home more just because long distance relationships are hard) but writing this out made me realize how much I have to look forward to!!

 

[Madrox6]

I'm a social worker, and I was reassigned outside my program to help with the COVID response. I know that I'm doing important stuff right now, but I really miss all of my clients and coworkers. Hopefully things get better and I can return soon.

I also had to cancel a trip home to see my family, so it would be super nice to go see them when it's safe to travel!

 

[nintendofan85]

PS5 launch (even if I don't plan to get one just yet), hopefully Donald Trump gets voted out, and my dad and I still plan to go to Japan, but only if they allow overseas tourists to come again. The coronavirus pandemic has thrown international travel on the ground.

 

[SublimeDonut]

Ah man I want my routine before all this... I love my school and my friends there, having lunch with them in Mondays and Wednesdays, the swimming practice, walking home by the longest path in Fridays and my teachers. I love love love going to museums, art galleries, fairs, film festivals and all the things I did in weekends. But it's gonna be a while until those things are open again. The only thing I know wasn't cancelled was a big book fair of my city. So I guess I can look forward to that.

 

[Shawna]

This is only seven or eight days away, but I cannot wait for me, my dad, and my brother to move out of my uncle's, and into our new house (which my dad got the keys to just today).

I am also looking forward to getting into some programs, but this may not start until next year sometime.
