I think a lot of folks don’t put stock in what it means to do something forever. You could do anything you ever wanted to a trillion times and make no progress to an end, and that’s not to mention you’d be the only immortal in this scenario. Your infinite will largely be consumed by darkness as entropy claims the Universe. As LordAmplifier already mentioned, it’d be pretty cool to have a much longer life in good health and choose when to go, though I say that’s just being mortal with extra steps.
Being immortal with an easy way out would be so cool. I don’t just want to do a lot of things, I also want to experience things that you can’t experience in a single human life. Where will humanity be a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years from now? How will the earth change in that time? What about humanity’s scientific progress? What’s out there, in space, or in the depths of the ocean? When will I take my laundry from the drying rack? These are all questions I would love to know the answers to.
I think the best realization would be stoppable aging. You can choose the age you want to live with for an infinite amount of time, then age a bit more when you feel like it and when you had enough, permanently unpause aging until you died naturally.
I want to be immortal precisely so I can spend eternity doing whatever I want to

I feel like most people would stay in their 20s for quite a while! Deciding to move on would be so difficult
