I just finished my first semester of college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Wow, it felt like a whole year flew by during fall semester, but my freshman year journey is not over. Spring semester is beginning soon and I have come up with 10 goals that I hope to achieve. Many of you may relate in achieving some of these goals too.

Have a good sleeping schedule

This semester, I decided to challenge myself and have 9 a.m. classes every day. Is it gonna be hard? Of course! But it is not impossible. That means that I need to manage a good sleeping schedule so I can wake up and seize the day.

Study smarter, not harder

Partying was my thing back in fall semester, and I was able to earn good grades by the end because of a perfect balance between partying and studying. While partying is fun, it kinda dies down. So, I plan to party once in a while so I can try new things for my weekends.

Go to more sporting events 

cheering

Showing school spirit and attending more sporting events is a must! It is a great way to socialize and cheer on my school! I plan to bring my school pride and a foam finger to the upcoming sporting events in the semester.

Manage my spending habits 

Decision

Whether it is my cafe credits or own money in my debit card, I need to reduce my constant spending. Money should be saved because it will come in handy one day. Am I wrong?

Keep up with world news

Though college consists of heavy course loads, it is important to keep up with the news that is going on in the world. I hope to keep up-to-date with current events this semester.

Continue to drink coffee

I think this is gonna be a thing for all my semesters in college. It helps get me through the day. So yeah, more coffee it is!

Make downtime to have fun

It is important to make time to have fun throughout the semester. For me, this can be accomplished through partying, attending a concert, watching movies in the dorm with friends, going out to eat, and more.

Hit up the gym 

Time to eat pizza

Back in the fall semester, going to the gym was a rare thing for me. Now that spring semester is here, I will use on-campus gyms to help me stay in shape and experience healthy living. Going twice a week should be a good start.

Be organized 

Parks and Rec

Organization is the key to success, so I plan for this semester to be consistent with my planner. Also, I'm going to focus on utilizing a dry erase board to mark important events and deadlines will make my life way easier.

Enjoy this semester just like the last one 

Friends

This should be for every semester. Work hard and make the most of it because the college experience is meant to be unforgettable.

This is semester that will lead to the conclusion of my freshman year. I hope to maintain a good GPA, have healthy relationships, be well rested, and have fun.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
