Personally, I don't like thinking about my goals, since it is such a long road, and there is so much to do! But you asked, so here goes.
1:My first goal is to fly Regional Boeing 737's. That's right, Regional. Forget the International Trans-Atlantic flights. I love 737's and to be paid to fly one across the country is my dream. Such a beautiful plane..
2: My next goal, about equal in terms of desire with my first goal, is to fly C-17 Globemaster III's in the USAF. I saw one fly over my petite C152 a couple weeks ago during a Practice flight, and ever since then I have been determined to fly those in the Air Force. Now mind you, I have always wanted to fly in the Air Force, but I never had a good take on what I wanted to fly. Now I do!
P.S.- I have one item on my list for Santa this year, and it's my PPL.

Well, OK, you asked, so I guess I'll give it a shot!
1. I just apllied for an "Ab-Initio" Position at Lufthansa. I will probably be able to do the first test-phase early next year. If that works out, that's like winning the lottery!
2. Go to UND and graduate there with a high GPA and as much time as possible. Where I want to go then, I just can't say. I'd love to do the ANG/Reserve Gig while flying for an Airline. Long-term I definatly want to move up to a major one day, obviously as soon as possible...
But for now I'm just enjoying my last year of school, drinking lots of beer (perfectly legal at my age in Germany, JFYI
), partying and having as much fun as possible! This will probably be the most laid back time of my life!
And women digg the flying thing anyway...

Hope to have a foot in the door at the regionals by the time I retire from active duty, are my aspirations. It's a no-brainer if you're a pilot in the military and you've been flying your whole adult life if you decide to shoot for the airlines, but us enlisted folks have to go the civilian route. We'll see where it takes me.
