1. Drinking More Water

This seems like an extremely easy goal, but for someone who doesn't reach for water as my go-to drink, it may be a bit hard at first. You're supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day. Assuming each glass is only eight ounces, that's 64 ounces every day!

Frankly, I'm lucky if I drink sixteen. Adding fruit to water has helped me in the past, it gives a nice flavor depending on the fruit added, and you're also getting nutrients from the fruit, which I also don't eat enough of, so it's a win-win.

2. Exercising Regularly

No, no, I won't be lifting weights, but I will be walking a mile on the treadmill as often as possible. This past summer I was doing really well up until the end of July when I just stopped. I had felt so good while doing it, and for a bit after, I still felt good.

However, as of these past couple weeks, I've been so disgusted with myself. I want to get back to feeling positive about my body, and this is one of many steps in doing that.

3. Continuing My Short Story Collection

This semester I had an idea for a fantasy short story collection. After receiving some amazing feedback on two stories I want to include in this collection, I can't wait to brainstorm more ideas and continue expanding on these characters.

4. Finishing The Book I Started Last Summer

If I remember correctly, I've only gotten through two chapters of "Shadow of Night" by Deborah Harkness. Since starting my sophomore year, I haven't had the time to read for fun which sucks given how much I loved her first book.

5. Getting Paid For My Writing

I've found a couple of websites that pay you a certain amount either per word or article. I'm hoping to submit to these websites at least once a week, and if I get accepted, I'll use what I earn to start paying off my student loans.

6. Catching Up On My Shows

Okay, so this isn't "getting my life together" goals, but I've been dying to watch the new season of "Daredevil" and "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" because I loved, and still love, the original show. I also can't wait to see the new season of "Marvel's Runaways" on Hulu when it comes out later this month.

7. Spending Time With Friends

I haven't been able to see my best friend in MONTHS and it's killing me with how much I miss her! Between both of our schedules with school and work, we've haven't been able to hang out. I didn't even get to give her the birthday present I got her, and her birthday was in November!

8. Cleaning Out My Closet

I've already filled one garbage bag full with clothing that I hadn't touched in years or pieces that didn't fit; however, that wasn't even a full-on closet purge. I need an entire day to organize from top to bottom, deciding which pieces to toss and which ones to donate.

9. Cooking A Weekly Meal

I have so many recipes saved on Facebook and Instagram and pinned on Pinterest, and I haven't made ANY of them. So Between breakfast meals and dinner recipes, I really want to try some like Buffalo Chicken Pasta and Hashbrown Breakfast Bake.

10. Not Wasting My Break

While I definitely won't be throwing or going to big parties during break, I don't want to waste it being lazy for five consecutive weeks. Don't get me wrong, I will have days where all day pajamas are necessary, but I refuse to be like that every day. This is my accountability list; I've officially set goals for myself and now that they're out there I'll have more motivation to accomplish them.
