We all have goals. Whether those goals be long-term or short-term, we all have them. Now goals can be simple, or more out there. Women have different goals from men, and men from women. We have life goals, career goals, and many other types of goals.

As a 20 year old some of the goals you have for life, will be taken care of later because come on let's face it, 20 year olds can only do so much. We don't have the funds. We don't have time because most of us are in college.

Something seems to get in the way of our goals one way or another. Here are some goals however, that are actually achievable in 2018 as a 20 year old.

1. Get closer to God

One of my personal goals for 2018 is to grow my relationship with the Lord. I feel like it has taken the backseat and that is not good. I want to grow my relationship with Him. Having a sound relationship with the Lord makes your day go so much smoother and more relaxing.

2. Concerts

I know one of my goals is always to go to concerts and hear good music. Good music. For example, this summer I am going to see Shania Twain-who has been my favorite musician since I was seven, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Sam Smith-who is AMAZING! Concerts can be an experience and that is what I hope to get out of concerts, not just music, but good music with a fun experience with friends and/or family.

3. Travel

Even if you can't go out of the country or even out of your state, you can travel. I can guarantee that almost all states have something fun or adventurous for you to do. Even little ole Alabama has some fun, adventurous places. Heck, if you can go wherever you want to, DO IT.

4. Eat good food

Okay, so this comes off as kind of weird/strange to some people, but honestly good food is good for life experiences. When you travel, that is when you can get some actual good food. You may think McDonalds is good, but trust me, it's NOT good food.

5. Learn/try something new

Learning new things gives you more life experience. Learn a new language, a new art form, anything, it doesn't matter. Try new food and experiences. Make new friends. New friends are great because they can be lifelong friends that you never knew you needed.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
