Final Semester Goals List

Since it is my last semester at Saint Michael's College, here is what I wish to achieve in my final few months.

1.) Get Assignments Done in Advance.

I'm not an awful procrastinator, but I do usually put assignments off until it is closer to the due date. My goal for my final semester is to start working on projects when they are assigned and to try and have everything finished a couple of days in advance. That way I can alleviate stress and stay on top of my work for the semester.

2.) Work Hard, Play Hard

I want to put as much of my effort into assignments, essays, and projects as possible. Having everything done to the best of my ability and being able to produce work that I am proud of. Vice versa, I also want to spend more time with my friends and having fun with them. I did not get to do much of that this past semester due to the amount of work I had, but I want to make an even balance between work and fun for this final semester.

3.) Try Something New

It is my last semester at SMC and I really want to get involved with a club or try something that I've never done before. Whether it be an Adventure Sports Club winter trip, volunteering with a group on campus, or maybe just going somewhere new in Burlington, I want to be able to explore and adventure outside of my comfort zone.

4.) Read For Fun

This is one thing that I really miss in college. I usually only get to read books for fun during the summer when I'm not trying to keep up with assigned readings for class. My goal is to be able to read three books over the semester that aren't assigned and that are for enjoyment purposes only.

5.) Stay Healthy

I try to eat healthy and stick to some form of a workout schedule, but I want to make that plan more solid. I want to schedule time to workout every night and also do some better meal planning as to keep eating healthy. It is my last few months of a free gym so I really want to take advantage of that.

6.) Try to Plan for the Future

The future is this vast and unknown place for many seniors in college. I want to be able to have an idea of what I want to do after college. It may not be my dream career but having some idea for what the next year will hold for me will keep me from sleepless nights wondering what my next steps are.

7.) Enjoy My Time

This is the end of my college career and I really want to enjoy it. I will try my best to live in every moment and have as much fun as possible. You only get to live the full college experience once, so I'm going to try my best to make the most of it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
