Dear Future Me,
So, it’s the beginning of 2017 and you just set a list of goals to accomplish this year. And like every year most of these goals will go unaccomplished. But do not worry and take it easy. Because you are going through a journey and goals cannot be accomplished in a year. I urge you to be more realistic.
Focus on your health. So that you aren't tired all the time. Try to sleep 6-8 hours a night. Because you are usually irritated if you sleep less. Eat better, do not just eat junk if you are busy. Introduce more vegetables and less chocolate to your diet. And definitely do not forget to eat. I know that you hate the gym. Cancel your membership because you're wasting your money. Instead try running once a week? And please stop delaying doctors appointments. It is not that hard to call and set a time.
Read more because you want to improve your concentration and writing. I know you love books but you waste too much time watching movies and Netflix. Reading will introduce to more knowledge. It also makes you appear smarter. Also discover new things and improve your knowledge. Maybe take a class about something you always wanted to try? Do not be afraid to try new things. I know you do not like being in the spotlight. But how else are you going to learn new things?
Enhance your knowledge in Arabic. You already know how to speak and understand the language. But your writing skills are synonymous with a third grader. I believe that Arabic will help you in the future. Also, practice French so you do not forget it.
Work hard at school and your job. Stop procrastinating! Procrastinating was your biggest obstacle for 2016. This is your last semester as an undergraduate. Let's do the best I know you can do. You need to improve your GPA. You are also starting a new job. Let's show them how hard-working you can be. Be more successful in what you do. Take your work seriously.
Look for future opportunities and decide your ultimate goal in your life. You are about to graduate but you still do not know what you want for your future. I think that is fine. But you need to decide quickly, because that will determine what steps to take.
Instead of setting unrealistic goals for 2017, take this time to improve on yourself. Such as having a more healthy lifestyle. Enhancing your knowledge on the things around and working hard is important. The most important thing for 2017 is to think about your ultimate life goal. But also have fun. Incorporate the things that make you happy daily. Because having a balanced life is crucial.
