Visualizing Your Goals

I recently made a vision board and think it's going to be pretty helpful in keeping me more motivated.

Keeping your goals in sight can get difficult sometimes. If you’re a student or have a full time job, little things can get in the way of goals or dreams you might have for yourself. If you’re a visual person you can create something called a vision board.

A vision board is a collage that you can cut and paste images from magazines or the Internet in a collage on poster board. Sometimes vision boards can be as simple as wanting more income in your life or it can be grander than this. What do you want to do when you grow up? We are all growing every day. There is no one point when we stop “growing up” unless it’s when we die.

For example, the things I put on my vision board was things that I personally wanted for my future. It was more tangible, goals I wanted to achieve or places that I wanted to live. I chose pictures that would help inspire me to stay fit and active while also expanding my mind at the same time. I had pictures of the kind of house I wanted to live in and the pets I wanted to live with me in the future.

These vision boards can be made any way you want to really. All that’s really needed is to have a goal in mind that you want for yourself. Some boards are completely filled with pictures and some can have whitespace leftover from the poster board that was used. Mine was one of those with whitespace left over but I had a very cut and dry idea of what I wanted my vision board to look like. I wanted to be able to see how my life would be like in the future and I found quotes that inspired me to help me get there.

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.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
