Happy New Year! With the start of January, you tend to hear the phrase “New Year’s Resolution” almost everywhere. I have never really liked that phrase because there is always the fear of failure when it comes to these resolutions. Therefore, I like to reset and start anew by making a list of goals for myself. There is no particular order to these goals, and it also does not bother me if I do not meet all of them. I simply like to make a list to give me something to strive toward and check off as many of the items as I can. As the year goes on, I also add more to the list when new things come to mind. So, here is my list so far!

Personal Goals:

• More self-love.

• Run a 10k.

• Run a race in Chicago with my godmother.

• 4 trips outside of family vacations… (Ideas include: PCB, Arizona, California, and I am going to Texas in 2 days!!)

• Drink more H2O.

• Use my newly-earned certification to teach classes at local gyms this summer.

• Volunteer more.

• Tattoo?? hehe

• Find purpose in everything I do.

• See things in a positive light.

And more on the dreams side…

• Find a life partner.

• Get accepted into my first-choice graduate program. (still have not decided what my first choice is haha)

• Mission trip abroad.
