Prioritize Your Life And Keep Your Goals Consistent, Above All

If we commit to nothing, then nothing will change.

Prioritize Your Life And Keep Your Goals Consistent, Above All
Savanna Stevie

Everyone knows that when January 1st rolls around, every gym in the world will be filled to the brim because that is when people begin their new year's resolution and try to work out more often. We know that this is likely to last no more than a month, and the gym will go back to its normal amount of people.

Making goals for yourself is the easiest thing to do, but achieving those goals is the hard part.

We all have something we would like to do or overcome, and making goals is a way we can do that. Unfortunately, life gets in the way and we tend to put off our goals until we have some time to ourselves.

We like to tell ourselves that we are always striving after our goals. For example, people in college might say that being here at school is their way of going after their goal of becoming a doctor or a lawyer. That statement is true, but going to school does not guarantee you a job, and that is why our goals need to be made a priority.

A lot of the time, our goals and aspirations become unveiled when going through hardships because that is when we feel we are at our lowest.

Our goals help us to remember that there is no way to go but up and that we must work hard to reach them. I am not going to lie, achieving your goals is a hard thing to do, but once it is reached you become a new person with a different mindset.

Like I said before, life gets in the way of our goals and we may forget that they are there, but with a little push and prioritizing, we can easily get back on track of achieving them.

Life is full of distractions, and we may not even know we are getting distracted because that is just how we live our lives. We put a sense of urgency on some things that will not even matter in the long run, and this is what we should be doing with the goals we make.

Sure, accomplishing our daily tasks is an important thing to do. But, instead of taking a nap or watching your favorite television show, go get a jumpstart on the goals you have made for yourself and try to have that mindset all the time. We all have the goals that we say are so important to us, but do we make time for these goals? Do we organize our day around accomplishing them?

We are all in need of a priority check because if we commit to nothing then nothing will change.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
