Eternal life is nothing without eternal youth...

Personally, i'm with Rainmaker (not in a biblical sense you understand), I want to live my life more fully. It's all too easy to just let the world drift by, dreaming of what you really want to do, without actually doing it! I really need to remember that more often and stop dawdling, reading forums all day, etc
If i had to choose one specific thing though, it would be learn to fly...
And i'm not doing anything towards this at the moment! I need to ask myself why not!

OK, I'll be a bit more precise (and more plausible):
Find a way to give humans the same immunity to cancer that naked mole rats have, which would enable humans to use the same method naked mole rats use to avoid aging.
That wouldn't enable eternal youth, but it would give humans a lifespan of several centuries without aging past early adulthood until nearly the end.

That sounds cool!!
I'd love to live for several centuries but not age any further than say 30. Sadly i'm already past the best before date, so i also require a way to regress my body a few years!

Not with that attitude it isn't!
Fair enough, like 'resetting' your age to a previous state, i've read something about that. Very interesting if true, although i'm not sure i could stand actually being immortal.

Rub out my middle mouse button scrolling : (
Well at least until you were 28...
Mole-rats have the ability to control their metabolism so longevity would come at a significant price regarding quality of life.
Far better to discover ways of increased cellular regeneration and increased resistance to disease and injury. That would imply significantly increased lifespans as well as decreased infirmity.

If I was gonna pick a bird to do, I think I could do better than Rihanna.
Katherine Jenkins would be in the running.

Run onto a golf pitch and pinch one off right next to the hole, then run away saying teeeeee...ee.....eeeeeee......t
I would like to lead some moderately powerful country into a glorious world war with great suffering on all sides.
I'll start working on it after uni - start by getting into some political party and rising to be its leader. Then I will fund various sabotage groups that reduce people to the point of desperation so that they will vote to allow me to become a despot (if this fails, some kind of military coo with myself as leader). I will then build up the country - make some jobs with large scale national building projects, then I might get a bit of community spirit together by claiming that all of my citizens problems are being caused by the chavs. I'll round them up and put them in big labour camps, which will help keep the country going when we enter phase 2: The eternal glorious war. Get some allies, and pwn everyone who stands in my way with newly invented killer robots and UAVs. Great empire now results. Now cut my country off from all the others, and build everything into a state controlled behemothic omni-firm. Get rid of the free press, bit of automated dissent detection to root out and fix causes of dissent, or just re-educate the dissenters if that is too costly. Then my new empire will reach out into (invade) the realms of my previous allies, and also smaller insignificant countries. This war will be extreme and total. Probably won't last longer than a few months though - soon my giant robot armies will either have won, or been destroyed. I don't really care which way this (phase 2b: World domination attempt) war goes - I will be the 'glorious leader' to the many millions under my control, and will have ushered in a new age of technological advancement and efficiency.
