In My Next 2 Years

"Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another."-John Dewey

In My Next 2 Years
Business Mixers

There's a very well-known country song out there about a country artist who reflected on the past 30 years of his life, and creates goals and aspirations for himself to reach within the next 30 years. The song I am referring to, if you have not guessed it yet, is My Next Thirty Years by Tim McGraw. Like Tim McGraw, I will also be more or less creating goals and aspirations for the next 2 years of my life. 30 years into the future is a bit too far to predict, so why not make some goals for my last year(s) of my college career?

1. Secure at least one E-Board Position in Pi Kappa Phi

2. Secure at least one E-Board Position in Lambda Alpha Epsilon

3. Absolutely stop procrastinating

4. Cut the fast-food down to no more than once or twice per week

5. Participate a lot more in most, if not all of my classes

6. Finish my SSD courses (you military folk will recognize these wonderful three syllables)

7. Participate in American Ninja Warrior at least once

8. End a semester and/or year with Straight A's

9. Land a stable internship in an area I would actually like to work in

10. Not spend so much time on my phone, and spend more time reading

11. Become casted in at least two more shows here at WIU (At least 1 Mainstage Production)

12. Grow closer with each and every single one of my brothers

13. Learn about my family's history

14. Wear a (close to) authentic Captain America costume for Halloween

15. Spend more time with my family

16. Own my very own car

17. Land a decent job in Macomb while attending school here

18. Have some sort of stable(ish) income for rent payments, groceries, etc.

19. Become a Diamond Coach for Beachbody

20. Grow more confident in my vocals and dancing

21. Secure a position on SGA (Student Government Association)

21 goals, since I just turned 21. But hey, hopefully I'll be here next year making 22 more as life goes on.

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.

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.
