Becoming Awesome: Part 1

would like to create three goals to aid in my academics and wellbeing this semester. I need to get better at submitting assignments on time. I’ve always had a tough time remembering deadlines. Last semester I turned in only 13 assignments on time! Thirteen, out of hundreds! I’ve tried one thousand ways to remind myself, but nothing seems to work. I have planners, post-it notes, cell-phone reminders; you name it. I think the problem lies in my work ethic rather than my memory. I get things started, but then leave them at that. I am going to start devoting more time while beginning my essays and assignments so I can complete them in one go or get a good head-start. My second goal is to get involved more on campus. I participate in clubs, and I hang around events, but I’d like to do more. Being a part of this campus will help me out in the future. The world is built on connections, the more I volunteer, the bigger my world can be. I will be more devoted to my community if I can make an impact. My third goal is to take time to be thankful. I want to start a journal to write down at least one thing I’m thankful for or grateful for every day. Phones and computers take up most of our free time now-a-days, we’re constantly fed information. Everything moves so fast; this would be a designated opportunity to slow down. This type of reflection will help my mental wellbeing and allow me to see the positives on paper, too. If anybody else would like to join me in daily positive affirmations, feel free! Everyone could use some more sunshine these days. 😊
