Goals!!!


Every year everyone makes New Year's resolutions and I always disagree. First of all, I think that if you have a goal that takes a year to finish, it isn't a very good goal. Like it only takes a few weeks to break/make habits. Then at that point you can make new goals, so the whole once a year thing doesn't work for me. Also, I'm really bad at goals anyway. I do whatever it is until I get the essence completed, then I usually end up bored with it and move on to the next point of interest.

So for this Semester:
-Get good grades. Last semester I was too overwhelmed to think any more than to just pass the classes so this semester I want to try for as many As as possible. I'm the kind of person that is totally happy with As and Bs, I don't need straight As though - minimal effort with the maximum outcome, that's my motto. But this semester, I'm going to go for it.
-Make some $$$. I believe that I have a job working at the Pizza Pie Cafe Express in my apartment building (we shall see if they still want me, they told me to call in January and they would put me on the schedule). Also, I wouldn't mind getting back in the babysitting scene cuz I miss the babies, but that is hard to do. There are a lot of babies in Provo, but they all belong to poor college students. However, this could go with my next goal of...
-Volunteer work. I have no classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I want to use that time to do something for others. My best friend, Kelli, does all kinds of volunteer work. She tutors and bakes Challah for Hunger(or she used to, I don't know if she still does) and teaches kids how to knit and is just a generally good person and I think that if she can do all she does and get fabulous grades from an Ivy League school, well then I have no excuse. So, I could give out some free babysitting to some friends I know who have kids and no money so they can have date night. There is also an old folks home that I wouldn't mind working at.
-Rekindle some old friendships. This last semester I had to forgo a lot of social interactions due to homework. I had fabulous roommates last year and I only saw them very rarely last semester. I want to hang out with them more. And the girls from home who I had all kinds of plans to take out to fun places which I never did. It's going to happen this semester.

  1. I agree with you on resolutions. If the goal is that important to somebody, they shouldn't put it off till the new year.
