In celebration of one of the biggest pots of the Powerball being drawn tonight I’ve decided to create a list of all things I’d like to do/would do if my student loans weren’t getting in the way.

1. Pay off said student loans. It would be a wonderful weight off my shoulders and I would like to enjoy my pay check every now and then.
2. Pay off all debts for all the people I love and care about.
3. So they can all travel the world with me. I have a goal with my best friend Lane to travel every continent (maybe even Antarctica!) before I turn 30. Life’s too short. I just want to go everywhere and see everything and eat what the people eat and see the sunset from every different horizon there is. I pretty much sound like Ariel from the Little Mermaid.
4. Buy a Rolodex. It’s been on my Christmas wishlist for almost 2 years now and I have yet to receive one from anyone.
5. Buy my parents a house. Nothing crazy or anything, but they’ve lived in the same house since I was born and they’ve always wanted a new one. I just want to give them that.
6. Fly over all of my family from the Philippines to see my grandma and grandpa. They haven’t seen them in years and my grandpa is turning 90 next year – he deserves to see all six and all 10 of his grandkids at the same time.
7. I don’t really need all that much. The apartment in Manhattan, the vacation to the Caribbean, are all things I have and can do on my own right now. I don’t really need anything, just take the stress off my parents and I’ll be good.
