In My Next 2 Years

"Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another."-John Dewey

In My Next 2 Years
Business Mixers

There's a very well-known country song out there about a country artist who reflected on the past 30 years of his life, and creates goals and aspirations for himself to reach within the next 30 years. The song I am referring to, if you have not guessed it yet, is My Next Thirty Years by Tim McGraw. Like Tim McGraw, I will also be more or less creating goals and aspirations for the next 2 years of my life. 30 years into the future is a bit too far to predict, so why not make some goals for my last year(s) of my college career?

1. Secure at least one E-Board Position in Pi Kappa Phi

2. Secure at least one E-Board Position in Lambda Alpha Epsilon

3. Absolutely stop procrastinating

4. Cut the fast-food down to no more than once or twice per week

5. Participate a lot more in most, if not all of my classes

6. Finish my SSD courses (you military folk will recognize these wonderful three syllables)

7. Participate in American Ninja Warrior at least once

8. End a semester and/or year with Straight A's

9. Land a stable internship in an area I would actually like to work in

10. Not spend so much time on my phone, and spend more time reading

11. Become casted in at least two more shows here at WIU (At least 1 Mainstage Production)

12. Grow closer with each and every single one of my brothers

13. Learn about my family's history

14. Wear a (close to) authentic Captain America costume for Halloween

15. Spend more time with my family

16. Own my very own car

17. Land a decent job in Macomb while attending school here

18. Have some sort of stable(ish) income for rent payments, groceries, etc.

19. Become a Diamond Coach for Beachbody

20. Grow more confident in my vocals and dancing

21. Secure a position on SGA (Student Government Association)

21 goals, since I just turned 21. But hey, hopefully I'll be here next year making 22 more as life goes on.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
