We all approach the summer months with goals to achieve and things to cross off our bucket lists. But who are we kidding? You and I both know you'll set out to move mountains, but you'll end up spending too many mornings sleeping in and telling your self you "deserve it." For all the realists out there, here's what I intended to do over the past few months... and completely ignored.
1. Yoga and meditation.
Realistic Substitution: rewatched the last season of Girls
2. Read more books.
Realistic Substitution: spent more time on Instagram than I’d like to admit, but told
everyone I was in the middle the Game of Thrones Series. Just to clarify, I’m only on
page 52.
3. Spend time with my family.
Realistic Substitution: got frustrated with my family
4. Only watch good television.
Realistic Substitution: somehow got roped into watching the bachelorette (and
getting emotionally invested… like she TOTALLY should have picked Luke, am I
right, ladies?)
5. Go to the gym.
Realistic Substitution: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH good joke, Amanda.
6. Start eating healthier.
Realistic Substitution: put Nutella ON the strawberry…genius!
7. Network and make connections.
Realistic Substitution: harassed a select few of successful individuals until they
literally hated me :)
8. Travel.
Realistic Substitution: went to New Jersey… twice.
9. Actually Have Fun.
Realistic Substitution: cave in and go to the local bars, either pretending to like
everyone from high school or drinking until they become tolerable.
10. Be present in the moment.
Realistic Substitution: bought a disposable camera.
11. Be open to new people and experiences.
Realistic Substitution: ended up blocking the guy’s number.
12. Squeeze in as much as possible.
Realistic Substitution: wait till the last minute, realize I don’t have enough time, and
quit while I’m ahead.
13. Chill out.
Realistic Substitution: anxiously cried about the start senior year (on several
occasions).
14. Save my money.
Realistic Substitution: happy hour!
Hmmm and to think of all the things I'll "do" next semester...
