My Goals to Kick 2018’s Butt

1. Reach 130 Pounds

Losing weight has been one of my biggest goals in life. I know weight is not everything, but to me, it’s a big part of how I want to live. It isn’t just about the weight, it’s about what comes along with it. Losing weight will make me feel more comfortable in my skin. The measures that I’m going to take to reach this goal will make me healthier. I’m going to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables and less processed foods, exercise at least 30 minutes a day, and get more sleep every night. All of this I know will change my life for the better. Hopefully, not only will I be smaller, but stronger, have healthier skin, more energy, a better memory, and much more.

2. Read at least 12 books besides required material

I use to read so much, but over the years my attention span has shortened, and my enjoyment of books has declined. I couldn’t seem to find books that sparked my interest, or rather I couldn’t get myself to read long enough to spark any investment. I crave books though. They are magical. That was and always will be what books are to me, but I’ve discovered more. More and more I’ve seen the possibilities that can come from reading nonfiction as well. There is more than just fantasy and living in the dreams that stories create, I can really learn things that I can apply to my life to make it better. So here I am ready to start with the first 12 books on this list of 35 Books That Will Make You A Better Person.
Every single day I wake up I feel like a failure. There are plenty reasons as to why I feel like this, but the main one is believing that there must be some shortcut. The thing is, no matter how hard you try to believe that, it won’t become true. Maybe…just maybe a door opens. No. A window. Maybe a window will crack slightly open to success, but the chances of that happening to any of us are virtually slim to none. Sorry to break it to you, but here are a few reasons why success has not yet come to you.

3. Make at least $500 from a new business venture

I have so many business Ideas, but I’m young. I really don’t have enough money to really start a big business venture out of nowhere, but I can start small. $500 of profit isn’t bad for a year.

4. Have at least $5000 in my bank account by the end of the semester

As already stated, I’m a broke college kid. I have goals that need money, including start-ups, getting married, having a child, going to medical school, starting a non-profit, owning a home and a farm. I want to be able to provide, and I will have to with lots of money in the next 5 years. I also want to take a gap year after college, which might consist of a lot of traveling. I’ll be budgeting my money better by keeping up to date with coupons, using apps to help save and keep track of receipts, working more and getting down to business, and putting money into savings.

5. Try/Join at least one new thing

This semester I want to get more involved in something. I really don’t have any good friends back at school. I don’t mind it, but I want to have something that is just mine. I like to be by myself, but It isn’t what I need. Sometimes I drag myself out of the house and actually enjoy it, so if I have something that does this, It’ll be really beneficial for me. So this year I’m joining the boxing club at my university. They have training sessions 2x a week for newbies. It’s $60, so that’ll be an investment in the motivation to keep me going. This will be good for my physical and emotional health. This will be my thing, and maybe I’ll meet some people.
