New Year Goals // Sophomore Edition

Like many students, in my mind the new year starts in August, not January. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! **Throws confetti**

My sophomore year is about to begin. Next Thursday I move back on campus- I can’t wait!! I’m so excited to see how my roommate and I decorate our apartment. I’m excited to see all my friends again. I’m excited to be on campus again! I love my university!

In the light of this new year, I thought I would share my school year goals with y’all. Here we go…

School:

• I want to make more As than Bs. Preferably all As, but life happens. So, if I earn an A in 3+ of my classes, I will feel successful.
• I really don’t want to procrastinate doing my projects… like I usually do… This year I want to work harder at doing assignments before the week before they’re due so I can avoid stress.
• Same goes for tests. I want to study before the night before the test.
• Go to class. (It’s a nice goal to have… ;) )

Personal:

• Join a workout class. I started going to Zumba last spring, and I LOVED it. I want to start going again this fall, and go consistently. Because free workout class. And because Zumba. Yes.
• Learn how to cook. As I won’t have a meal plan, I think learning to cook will be an important skill to acquire. I recently discovered Healthy Liv, a college/food blog. I probably will be trying out a lot of Liv’s recipes this school year! They look so delicious!
• Read more books. If possible. Finish rereading the Harry Potter series.
• Work on my 20 before 20 list.

Relationships:

• Keep up with my friendships that I made last year. And make new friends too! I already know a few freshman girls that are going to be coming to my university this fall, and I’m so excited to welcome them aboard to the best college ever!
• Go on more coffee dates with my amigas.
• Hang out with my brother more. You would think that since I attend a local university I would see him a lot, but l actually didn’t hang out with him that much last year. I want to change that.

Spiritual:

• Join an on campus Bible study and go consistently.
• Read my Bible more consistently than I have been. Preferably everyday. And start journaling what I learn like I used to.
• Start keeping a consistent prayer journal.
• Attend more events at my church. I love my church, and I love going on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights, but I can go to the random events they host :) I want to get plugged in more.
• LOVE JESUS. TRUST JESUS. SERVE JESUS. :)

Blog:

• Blog more consistently and publish 3ish posts a week. (Unless I seriously have a test in every class that week…. School has to come before blog, unfortunately.)
• Start offering sponsorships (beyond button swapping).
• Grow my social media presence.
• Celebrate one year of blogging. September 14th!! It’s coming up quick!
• Save up and buy a unique theme for CWK.

I think that’s about it!! I’m excited to start working towards these goals. Sophomore year is probably going to fly by as fast as freshman year did, and so I want to make the most of every minute!!

To my fellow students: What are some of your school year goals? Share them in the comments below :)
