Right now, I finishing one of many loads of laundry- a sign that it’s time to go back to school.
With the plethora of Facebook and Twitter updates from my friends explaining that they made it to Europe, I think that this semester is going to be different that others. Less friends on campus, but more opportunity to go out and try something new.
Last semester, I dedicated the majority of my time to my six-credit journalism course that basically consumed every living moment of my life. Now, I have more time to try things out. I am starting a new internship at Brazen Careerist (yay!), taking courses that focus around advertising and marketing, and also am back on the Executive Board for my business fraternity.
Still, I have some time to kill.
With that, I am rolling off my list of goals I have for the upcoming semester. I want to create a tangible roadmap of the “fun” things for next semester instead of saying “let’s go out” or “I really want to take a road trip somewhere.” And so begins the list:
- Read a newspaper everyday (this can be a national paper or a campus paper)
- Extend my required volunteering hours for AKPsi and make a different in the Madison community
- Work out at least 3 days a week
- Visit KU, WashU, or IU for an extended weekend
- Read 10 books (not assigned for a course) for pleasure and blog about my thoughts
- Dedicate at least two days each week towards sitting at the Terrace once the weather is not -100F below.
- Bond with the staff at Brazen Careerist
- Write at least 5 articles for the Daily Cardinal
- Attend 1 play, 2 concerts of bands I enjoy/know, 2 concerts of artsy fartsy music that I have no idea about, and go to HUMO.
- Add more goals to this list as they pop into my mind
Any other college students have goals that they would like to share?
