In My Next 2 Years

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.

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.

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.

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.
