Hey all you followers,
First off thank you for following me, I hope my life can be something you will enjoy to follow. Thought I would share my goals for the year and give you an update of what's happening in the life of Stephanie. Instead of resolutions, I thought goals was a better term. Resolutions, to me, are things I need to fix...sounds kind of negative to me. Goals are more positive and with those you are supposed to write how you are supposed to achieve them.
My Goals for 2011:
~Make the Dean's list Spring Semester (this will go towards my long term goal of graduating college with some sort of title): meaning STUDY, take notes, ask questions put myself in a place with no distractions.
~Find a job/Internship: means job searching and using the link through school to help find internships. However, I have found one at school one day a week, making pizzas for 3 hours! So its not much and I would never be able to support myself on that job but, its a job which will give me work experience and a little bit of money. I also have been attending orientations regarding interviews and how to prepare for recruiters when they are here at school. I set an appointment with my career advisor and its about time because I have no idea what I am going to do once I get out of school or what I can even do with my major. She gets to help me figure all that out. It's really exciting to know what I will be doing with the rest of my life! (Well, at least, what I think I will be doing for the rest of my life).
~Eat Healthier: I know, this is on a lot of peoples list for the new year but because I am a major which deals quite a bit with nutrition, I have the tools I need to make up a healthy diet....not giving up the chocolate or sweets, just need to eat them in moderation... you need to reward yourself sometimes.
~Workout More Often: now that I have quit, let's say retired, gymnastics (which was a really difficult decision), I have to keep up with the exercise. I bought a pass for the rec group workout classes and enjoy them all especially with the abs class, love it!!!
~Find an apartment: This meant searching online, the newspaper, etc. I FOUND ONE! I am so excited to have my own place for the next year, no more dorm life (although it is a good time sometimes).
~Learn to Cook: Seeing that I will have to cook my own food, because I will not be eating at the dining halls (YAY), I thought it would be a good idea and I can control what goes into my food. So Dad, get ready, because you get to teach me!!!
~Join Groups: I am looking up stuff related to my major, going out for club broomball, trying to branch out and meet new people. One of the groups, is a peer educator group where I would be promoting healthier lifestyles, by giving programs and speaking to groups here on campus. I have an interview coming up for that, keeping my fingers crossed for that one!
So those are my goals and some of the stuff I have done to work on them. I have one accomplished...find an apartment, which is good because I need somewhere to live. I still have not heard whether or not I am going to study in Europe...oh the suspense.
Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and although I'm single (yes I know so sad) I am celebrating with my life buddy Katie who's boyfriend is a little to far away to come and celebrate it with her. The day is not as awful as some people make it out to be. It's a day to celebrate love no matter what that love is, so if you love your dog take it on a long walk and rub its belly...it will love you forever. I also realized, as I was sitting here thinking about how to get through this day for couples, if you have a friend who happens to be single or (like Katie) have a significant other too far away, celebrate together. That way you celebrate the love of your friendship. As for those you have someone make sure you celebrate your love for one another and enjoy each other's company!
I hope each of you is doing well and life is treating you well, if not I'll leave you with this quote that has helped me get through some rough stuff this past year "Be strong now, things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it can't rain forever."
Forever,
Stephanie
