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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
