I know that we all start the new year with things we want to improve on and sometimes it doesn't always work out. Sometimes we get busy, make excuses, or just decide not to do them. This year I would really like to better myself in multiple ways. I know a lot of sources say that writing down your goals is a good way to stay on track, so if you are interested in hearing what I'd like to improve on in 2017, continue reading.

1. Eat Better

This past semester at college I have been eating food that I know is not good for me. I know that it is very hard to cut all of this bad food out completely, but I really want to work on limiting myself and focus on eating healthier options.

2. Go to the Gym

I definitely was slacking a lot this past semester in multiple ways. I'd like to start working out more and aim to not necessarily lose a bunch of weight, but work on toning my body. I feel better when I exercise and I think it would benefit me with other aspects of my life.

3. Smile More

I think when I get into a specific routine of doing certain things, that sometimes my attitude does the same and sometimes it's not a good thing. I want to look at certain situations in a positive light and realize not everything that seems bad is bad.

4. Surround Myself With Good People

I am not saying that my friends now are bad friends or anything because my friends are great. For future friendships, or random people who come into my life, I want to make sure they are good people. I don't want to surround myself with those who are going to bring me down or cause issues.

5. Focus

I think with all of the commitments and fun things that I have going on that sometimes I forget that I am at school to focus on being better as an individual and for my future.

I know these may seem very ordinary, but they are goals that I want to achieve in 2017 and carry over into the years to come. Share this article if you spot one of your goals or comment one you may not see!
