A few days ago, I wrote out a list of goals I want to accomplish this year. So far, I've had not a lot of homework/no job/few extracurriculars, so they've been pretty easy to keep.
A few school essentials pour moi
Without further ado, my 8 goals for Senior Year:
1. Spend time with Jesus.
Whether it be two minutes in the car before school or an hour before bed, I want to have some sort of devotion/prayer/journal time each day.
2. Sleep at least 7 hours.
Y'all, Junior year killed my sleeping hours. Some nights I honestly went to be at 3 and woke up at 6:30. I would really prefer to avoid that this year. (After only 5 days of waking up for school, I think my body realizes there will be no more sleeping til 12 every day).
3. Keep my desk clean.
OK kind of random, but my desk is something I really want to take advantage of this year. I always tend to have random papers or books with no place to go just sitting on my desk, so I've tried to find spots for all of them. If my desk is clean, then I will choose to study there instead of my bed, which is where I'll most likely not do my best studying.
4. Drink lots of water.
I can already notice a change in my body from this one! I don't feel as weighed down as I used to, and my craving for a Dr.Pepper with vanilla from Sonic has decreased (although one every once in a while is fantastic :) Also, I did not just buy that new monogrammed water bottle for nothing.
5. Run at least twice a week.
One of my friends and I are running in the Color Run in November, so I am trying to get back into decent/somewhat/I can actually run 3.1 miles shape. I've been writing down all my workouts in a little journal just to visually keep track.
6. Be a friend.
Most likely, I won't see the majority of the people in my class until our 20 year reunion, so what does it hurt to be a friend to everyone and kill 'em with kindness?
7. Keep up with the blog.
Y'all, I am going to try to hard. I have so many ideas, but sometimes it is just so hard to spend the time to put them on a computer (psh, excuses, excuses). My *rough* goal for this year is one post a week. My brother is taking a photography class at school, so maybe I can get him to be my unofficial photography??
8. Read before bed.
I really do love reading, but when Netflix is calling my name, I usually choose it over a book right before I fall asleep. So many people have told me it is bad to look at a screen right before you go to bed, and I've also almost broken my computer several times from leaving it on my lap (and then I fall asleep and it falls off the bed-whoops!). This will also give me a chance to read books that aren't required for school.
So, there you have it friends-my 8 goals for Senior Year! Leave a comment with any goals you have for this year. Hope your new "year" is off to a great start!
