Hello, all!
So, today is January first. The beginning of an entirely new year. The past year (2013) has consisted of many drastic changes in my life, good and bad. I’ve graduated high school, traveled, begun my studies at college, said goodbyes, met many new friends, and have taken steps toward finding my path and direction in life.
Despite the “good” events I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy the past year, there are several changes I would like to make in my life. Though I understand and appreciate that resolutions made on New Years are quite often overrated and given up on, I believe that it can’t hurt to try. And, my willpower has been at an all time high since starting college. So, here are my goals for 2014:
1. Begin and keep up with a blog. (Check- so far!)
2. Remove negative people, things, and influences from my life.
3. Stay organized and motivated, and stick to my goals such as getting good grades and participating in things I enjoy at college (working toward the eventual goal of law school!)
4. Keep in touch with family and call/ text the ones I don’t see frequently more often.
5. #4, except with my friends.
6. Go to the gym more often and get in shape for the sake of being healthy, not looking a certain way.
7. Read more (for pleasure).
8. Get my car in working shape or find an alternative.
9. Get an internship over the summer, or at least shadow somebody or do something that will give me experience necessary to advance my career.
10. Possibly take up a 3rd job while at school, if time allows.
11. Allow myself to go out more, have more fun, and enjoy non class related activities more frequently.
12. Start something new! A club/organization, fundraise, organize an event, contribute ideas.
13. Become more politically active.
14. Remain positive, no matter what. Everything happens for a reason, and what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger: attitude is everything.
These goals may seem simple or silly but I really feel that they are important to me and will allow me to enjoy a more successful, happier year.
I hope whoever is reading this had a fantastic new years celebration, and keep checking for new posts; there are more to come!
Xoxo,
Alex
