5 Goals For Spring Semester 2020

I can't plan for an overall year, so I'm taking it one semester at a time.

I never liked New Year's resolutions. Yes, they're fun but it's easy to forget midway through the year. I'm going to take things bit-by-bit this year and focus by going one semester at a time.

1. Work on fantasy novel.

This is something I have been procrastinating on for the longest time due to the fear that the world I built isn't complete. But this year no matter what I'm going to write at least five chapters towards the novel when I have time and create five new character sheets to help with character development.

2. Cut out toxicity.

Last semester I got myself into toxic situations that seriously affected my mental health. After having a month to think about it, it's time to cut those people out of my headspace and live my best life.

3. Make time For friends.

Last semester I didn't really spend that much time with my friends that were outside my major as much as I would like. This semester I want to give more time to them because I care about them all the same.

4. Keep a more structured calendar.

Usually, my planner can be chaotic in one way or another but now I want to make sure I don't have any time conflicts before it's too late. This involves more reminders and to-do lists for me, as well as using more color-coding than I did last semester.

5. Live in the moment.

New year, new semester. It's time to let go of silly mistakes. Instead of letting them haunt me and hold me back I'm going to focus on what's happening in the now and planning for ahead. This is something I continually work on but hopefully it will only get better this semester.

Those are five goals I have for myself this semester. Let me know some of yours in the comments below!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
