Goals

At the beginning of the year, we wrote about our goals in a letter to ourselves. In my letter, my goals included maintaining a high GPA and class rank, getting a job, spending time with my friends, and working out more. Most of these goals I was able to reach. I worked hard in school (for the most part) and even managed to improve my class rank by two spots. My friends and I were always together going on road trips, having movie nights, and doing crazy things. We tried to be together as much as possible before we all had to go our separate ways in college. I got a job working at Ripa’s, an Italian restaurant, bussing tables. I absolutely hate it, but I’ll stick through it until I can find a better job. Finally, the only goal I didn’t quite reach was my personal goal of getting in shape for Army ROTC. Since the beginning of the year, I did get a gym membership, and while I do go on occasion, it’s definitely not as much as I should; I probably go once a week. I’m a little disappointed in myself, but hopefully during the summer I’ll have more time and motivation to go. In the next year, my goals include making the Dean’s List, making new friends in college, getting as involved as I possibly can, and hopefully getting a new job. I’ll have to make time and work hard at studying, but in the long run, it’ll be worth it. In getting involved in school and making new friends, I’ll have to join some clubs, and hopefully in the process, find out a little more about some hobbies I haven’t discovered yet.
