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.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
