“New year new me,” I say to myself.

Yeah, right.

Every year, I write down New Year's resolutions, and most years (not all, just being realistic here), I do get them done. Last year, I wrote them down on a napkin. This is a new year.

Well, this is the year I plan to get all of them done, and more. Because I figure, if I put them down on the internet, it might (hopefully) hold me to what I want to do…maybe?

Last year's goals:

1. Forget 2016 - completed
2. Love hard - completed
3. Get better grades - completed
4. Work hard & look ahead for my future - completed
5. Smile more - completed
6. Go to the gym 4 times/week – ehh, somewhat completed

So, here we go. This is the year of 2018. What will I accomplish?

Here are my goals, broken down into different categories.

Physical:

• Remain healthy
• Eat at least 3 servings of vegetables per day
• Go to the gym 3 times per week [at a minimum]
• Try to get on a consistent sleep schedule
• When sick, take time off and relax — school work comes after personal health

Academic:

• Aim for a 3.5 GPA or above
• Work hard and don’t leave things until the last minute
• Continue making “to-do, doing, and done” boards to stay organized
• Keep my planner updated to stay on track with assignments and time management

Work/Career:

• Find a job that fits with what I would like to do in my future — internship?
• Always be happy with what I am working on, and if I am not and I can control that, then change it
• Continue writing and being expressive through the power of words

Personal:

• Continue being the best self I can be
• Smile often
• Do something philanthropic that will spark change, inspiration, and awareness not only in me but in others
• Excel in my new position as Vice President of Public Relations for Tri Delta — make new changes that will leave a legacy
• Spread love everywhere I go & celebrate every part of life, big or small

Now, 2018 is the year for change. 2018 is the year I do everything I said on this list and more.

Cheers to the new year, and I cannot wait to see what the future will hold!
