With the first week of classes over and the rest of the semester looming ahead, it is the perfect time to turn the page on who you were over the summer, and even who you've been in previous school years, to embrace a state of mind that usually only occurs on January 1st--New Year, New Me...
The beginning of the school year, much like the beginning of the calendar year, is the perfect time for a fresh start. It is the perfect opportunity to show off new clothes, break out the fresh school supplies, and even change around your attitude. Like the resolutions that people
For this school year, one of my resolutions is to take better notes and stay more organized. You would think that by the fall semester of my senior year of college, I would be better at taking notes and staying organized, but I'm a hot mess in both of those categories. The majority of the time, I don't even bother to take notes and every year, without fail, I buy a planner than I use for a couple weeks and then never use again. I have decided that this year is going to be different and, at least after this first week, I have stayed true to my resolutions.
It is important to remember that it is never too late to reinvent yourself; if you aren't happy with the way you are--it's okay to change, but you should make your that you are changing for you and not for someone else.
The beginning of the school year is a time to turn the page on who you were and become who you want to be. Who cares if you got Ds in all of your classes last year? Who cares if your backpack looked like all your binders decided to throw up? Does it matter that you gained the freshman 15? NO! All that matters is what you want and setting goals and making resolutions are up to you. So, there is no time like the present to make those changes. Remember--New (School) Year, New You!
