4.0: I plan to do big things with my life.  I have no idea what those things are or what they concern, but I feel that whatever I plan to do can be facilitated by a top-tier education.  The real challenge here isn't the difficulty of the schoolwork, but rather my complete lack of motivation for almost anything besides what I enjoy.  Fingers crossed.

Enjoy myself: My prime focus for college is and will be to receive a great education, but I see college as the last real time to have fun in life.  This isn't to say that one can't have fun later in their life, but I'd really just like to have a good time and not completely obsess over schoolwork in my college years.

Year of happiness: I think everyone's eventual goal is to be happy, but life is not fully lived without the downs to balance the ups.  It is because of this that I would like to just live one full year of waking up and truly saying I'm completely happy with the way things are, and would want nothing to change.  This isn't to say I'm not currently happy; what is on my bucket list entails a time zero stress and natural ecstasy.  This probably sounds unreachable to many, and certainly sounds very improbable to most, but this is why it is such a far off goal: it will take years of preparation and concentration to achieve.
