    Getting better at singing would be nice. As a hip-hop artist I'd like to be able to sing on hooks. I can follow a melody decently but it still sounds like **** compared to a good singer. Idk, I may be tweakin but I highly doubt that.

    Singing. I really, really wish I was good at singing. I mean I'm okay at it, but not good enough to perform in front of anyone.

    I can dance, why can't I sing, dangit? >_<

    There's nothing I do that I'm not reasonably good at considering the effort put in. The attention span and motivation to spend more time on the more worthwhile of those pursuits would be a good start, but that's a personality trait rather than a learned skill, I suppose.

    Like a bunch of other people, drawing, but specifically drawing freehand. I'm good at pixel art, and I could certainly get better at freehand with the time and motivation, but I haven't had the willpower to do it.

    School. It's something I've never really been good at and most of the time if I'm upset, it's because of school. I put in my efforts only to get nothing. So to those that say school is a cakewalk and just takes doing your homework and paying attention and such, good for you that that's all you need to do. It doesn't work for me.

    Art. Cause I intended to make some field of art or graphics my major and I'm still at an amateur level compared to most college art students. I can barely draw figure, and only from the front. I can't draw a lot of objects very well either. I suck at foreshadowing and perspective and a whole lot of other thing. I still lots to improve on , maybe even take some lessons even before I start drawing classes again.

    I want to say drawing, but then again, drawing a good picture requires a lot of time & patience, and I really don't have the nerves for that. Even if I was good at drawing, I probably wouldn't finish a single picture.

    I wish I was good at playing the piano. I play the guitar, and I love it, but classical music (which I really love) sounds better on a piano.

    Eh, maybe one day... remember, being bad at something is the first step to being good some day.

    For me it's also the piano, I play guitar and bass, and sing, but paino is something I really want to do, but I don't like practicing it because it always sounds so bad.

    Speaking fluently in foreign languages. I might learn quite a lot, but even I have trouble trying to engage in a conversation mainly due to: Words I've never heard before, and also trying to translate what they said into English quickly, then translating what I'm gonna say from English into their language. Really difficult for me as my thought process is slow.

    Ya know, it seems like the common answers in here are art and/or music. Why is that?

    Gosh, so many things. x_x I'm just going to echo:
    Being someone fun to be around.

    My second pick would be school, as I am just a really average student no matter how hard I work, I don't really know how to make the jump from average to above standard, I guess. But being around people is more important for me, and I would like to be a fun person and, I dunno, more confident in myself as well.

    I wish I could draw. I always wanted to get into animations but not being able to draw ain't really doing me any favors.

    I'm stuck between drawing and singing.

    Right now, I'd probably have to go with singing. I can draw decently, as long as I have a few hours to put something together that takes other people a few minutes, but I'm a lousy singer. I just can't get the pitches quite right. I love music, and can play several different instruments very well, but I just can't sing. It's not fair I tell you, not fair!
