First and foremost, I want to lose some weight. I'm unhappy with where I am at in my life weight-wise and I have got to do something about it. I'm a college student who is stuck on a campus with typical college cafeteria food. I need to start eating wiser and becoming a bit more active. I think this is possible if I just put my mind to it. I need to make healthier food decisions and I hope to by eating more vegetables and meat that is cooked in a healthier way. I have a weakness for sweets so it's going to be pretty hard to stay away but there's nothing I can't do and I just have to keep that mentality.
I want to be a little more organized with my life. As a Resident Assistant at a University, I have a lot of paperwork that tend to find themselves lost. This is not the best thing and it's quite easily taken care of if I just make a point to keep organized. I noticed that when I get tired and busy with school and activities that instead of putting things away, I set them aside and plan to do them later. I am ultimately the world's best procrastinator. Hopefully I can become more diligent in doing things as soon as I see them needing to be done. This will be one of those things that I will have to consciously think about. But it's do-able.
As a student, I have to have one thing in mind at all time: grades. I am college student that hopes to someday have a degree in my hand and it won't happen with C's and D's. I have had quite a few hard semesters lately and they have proven to be a challenge. But I cannot let a few bad situations happening bring my whole college career come to an end. I have to have the determination to achieve good grades. This year, I am turning things around and I am making this year the one where I get no lower than a B in any of my classes. I am hoping to transfer to a new University where it's a bit more challenging, not to mention pricy. I think this will be an obstacle but I hope that I can get motivation and the strong desire to succeed will help me achieve what I want with my college experience and not just mediocre grades.
One of the bigger wishes I want for myself this year is to be a little bit more positive. I am an overall positive person but I think over the past years, my luck has brought me down and I don't like it one bit. I need to look at the brighter side of things. I need to remember how lucky I am to be where I am. I think I've already noticed some improvement but it's just the beginning. I hope to utilize my friends and family and sorority sisters for a support system when I get down and frustrated to bring myself back up. I am happy to have the people I have in my life and sometimes I need a reminder to bring my spirits back up and my head back in the game.
I hope with this blog I can see improvement or maybe where I'm going wrong. I want people to read this and comment or just get a kick out of my random days or just have people relate to me. I'm about to start something new. And frankly, I'm excited. I dedicate this blog to 2011: may you be good to me, my friends, and family.

Happiness is like a butterfly;
the more you chase it, the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
-Henry David Thoreau
