It’s the middle of October, so all this midterm talk is very
new for me. I've got all of my midterms this week, so it will begin soon. As
far as personal goals for the beginning of the first semester, I feel that a
few of them have been achieved, from finding my way around campus to getting
all of my homework done; they seemed to be the easier of the goals I've set.
One of my goals was to branch out and meet new people and try new things. It isn't as easy as it sounds; I have met a few new people though and I have been
to quite a few things that I never would've if it wasn't for persistent
hassling of a couple friends, but I’m glad they did. In college, it’s a time to
explore and take risks and find out things about yourself. I've learned quite a
bit about myself in these past few months, and I wouldn't trade anything for
it. For the second half of the semester, some of my goals include participating
more in class and procrastinating A LOT LESS. The procrastination goal is
probably going to take effect sooner than later (she says hopefully). As of
now, I will probably continue my homework habit, because I make sure to get it
done. To achieve these goals, quite a bit of change will need to happen with
myself and how I manage my time. As of
now, I like to multitask while doing my work and that usually leads to majority
of my procrastination. If I got rid of distractions, my work would more than
likely get done faster. Applying some of the time management strategies that I
learned earlier in the semester would definitely help me as well, because then
I’d have a schedule set for each day of things that need to get done and I wouldn't have to worry about “am I supposed to be doing something important?” "Just think, you are a human with one life, and it is up to you to make it the best life you can"- Dan Howell
