This fall I will be a freshman at the University of Delaware as a Political Science major. It will be my first time living alone and I am really excited for this experience. I finally will receive the responsibilities and freedoms I asked for during high school. As a rising college freshman, here are seven things I want to be better and improved throughout my college career.
1. My relationships.
GiphyI went through years of bad friendships and relationships. I'm tired of all the negative vibes I'm receiving. I hope as I venture off into college I'll meet new people who have the same goals as me, want to go out, or simply care to listen to what I have to say. If I happen to meet a boy or girl that seems to be partner material I hope that we can bond over food and netflix, rather than "other" activities.
2. My time management.
media.giphy.comI've been taking summer classes for about three weeks now and I must say the biggest test of them all is my time management. I set my alarms about two hours before I should really wake up so I can have time for my body to wake up but sadly I still end up running late. Even though I'm running late all the time, I sort of developed a routine that could possibly help me during my fall and spring semester. I wake up, take care of my hygiene, get dressed, leave home, grab breakfast, and then I head to class. After class, I go to Trabant to get food and from there I go to the library to catch up on any assignments I have. Hopefully I can stick to this and not miss that many of my 8 AM's everyday.
3. My hair.
GiphyI woke up this morning with my hair feeling absolutely dry and crusty. I HATE MY HAIR! It's so frizzy and just blah. Hopefully once my black dye grows out, I'll be able to bleach it and dye it some crazy color like I use to it. For now I'll just stick to trying new hairstyles and praying it won't poof up by 12 O'Clock.
4. My mindset.
GiphyIn high school, I wasn't very focused as I had many things going on at home and in school. In College, I hope that I'll be able to use this fresh start to my advantage. I want to focus more on myself and my academics for the next eight years (I'm counting law school). I want to see myself more successful and happy in life rather than gloomy and depressed every five seconds.
5. My style.
GiphyI want to most definitely improve my style. I won't have my grandmother nagging on me about my outfits of choice. I mean I'm not twelve anymore so I shouldn't feel ashamed to have my midriff out. I want to try new and different patterns, colors, and styles of clothing.
6. My health.
GiphyI'm getting better at drinking a gallon of water a day but I wouldn't say I'm completely healthy. I want to change my eating habits drastically. I shouldn't eat Chick-fil-A everyday but I do. I definitely want to start eating more green and taking vitamins to improve my health and well-being.
7. My money.
GiphyI'm already college broke and I barely started college. I've started saving tip money but I'm always dabbling into my jar for spare change. I want to be able to budget better and save better. I spend entirely too much money on Chick-fil-A. I'm honestly about to start packing lunch until my meal plan activates in August.
