This fall I will be a freshman at the University of Delaware as a Political Science major. It will be my first time living alone and I am really excited for this experience. I finally will receive the responsibilities and freedoms I asked for during high school. As a rising college freshman, here are seven things I want to be better and improved throughout my college career.
1. My relationships.
I went through years of bad friendships and relationships. I'm tired of all the negative vibes I'm receiving. I hope as I venture off into college I'll meet new people who have the same goals as me, want to go out, or simply care to listen to what I have to say. If I happen to meet a boy or girl that seems to be partner material I hope that we can bond over food and netflix, rather than "other" activities.
2. My time management.

I've been taking summer classes for about three weeks now and I must say the biggest test of them all is my time management. I set my alarms about two hours before I should really wake up so I can have time for my body to wake up but sadly I still end up running late. Even though I'm running late all the time, I sort of developed a routine that could possibly help me during my fall and spring semester. I wake up, take care of my hygiene, get dressed, leave home, grab breakfast, and then I head to class. After class, I go to Trabant to get food and from there I go to the library to catch up on any assignments I have. Hopefully I can stick to this and not miss that many of my 8 AM's everyday.
3. My hair.

I woke up this morning with my hair feeling absolutely dry and crusty. I HATE MY HAIR! It's so frizzy and just blah. Hopefully once my black dye grows out, I'll be able to bleach it and dye it some crazy color like I use to it. For now I'll just stick to trying new hairstyles and praying it won't poof up by 12 O'Clock.
4. My mindset.
In high school, I wasn't very focused as I had many things going on at home and in school. In College, I hope that I'll be able to use this fresh start to my advantage. I want to focus more on myself and my academics for the next eight years (I'm counting law school). I want to see myself more successful and happy in life rather than gloomy and depressed every five seconds.
5. My style.
I want to most definitely improve my style. I won't have my grandmother nagging on me about my outfits of choice. I mean I'm not twelve anymore so I shouldn't feel ashamed to have my midriff out. I want to try new and different patterns, colors, and styles of clothing.
6. My health.
I'm getting better at drinking a gallon of water a day but I wouldn't say I'm completely healthy. I want to change my eating habits drastically. I shouldn't eat Chick-fil-A everyday but I do. I definitely want to start eating more green and taking vitamins to improve my health and well-being.
7. My money.
I'm already college broke and I barely started college. I've started saving tip money but I'm always dabbling into my jar for spare change. I want to be able to budget better and save better. I spend entirely too much money on Chick-fil-A. I'm honestly about to start packing lunch until my meal plan activates in August.
