Sophomore Year Goals

With my sophomore year rapidly approaching, I've started making a list of things that I hope to accomplish. They aren't simply goals like keep my room clean or get good grades, but more emotional and personal goals. 

1. Confidence is key- After facing multiple rejections last year, my confidence was pretty low. I wanted to continue to apply to organizations or leadership positions but because of my track record of rejection I held back. Confidence is truly the best accessory and is essential in order to accomplish your goals. This year, I really want to focus on remaining confident in myself and my abilities no matter what negative or positive feedback I receive.

2. Enjoy life while studying more effectively- Last year I spent almost every second of free time in the library. Every free hours I would take a break and browse the internet or go grab some frozen yogurt with my big, Sweet Frog is our go to spot! While that was fun and a good way relax, this year I really want to focus on speeding deliberate time in the library to finish all my work, so that I can take time to do things I love like going shopping or to the gym! I will also be nannying this year in addition to being on Honor Council, so I will have to make time to do the things I enjoy!

3. Spend less time worrying- The amount of time worrying about my classes, my friends, or what I was going to do on the weekend last year was absolutely absurd. The anxiety that was caused by my doubt and worry made me miss out on some amazing un-planned memories. While I will always be a planner keeping my life extremely organized, this year I hope to allow myself to let loose a little. I want to make the most out of every experience that comes my way, even if its not written in my agenda. 

4. Go the gym (almost) everyday, if only for 30 minutes- This summer, I spent a lot of my time at the gym and have absolutely loved it. I've gotten back into yoga, taking a class once or twice a week and have seen a really positive change in my body! Spending time at the gym allows me to relax and feel better about myself. I'm not saying I need to lose weight, but as Elle Woods says, "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy."

I hope this post helps insure y'all to make your own goals for this school year!

Love,
