My Last First Day: Senior Semester Goals

I can't believe I'm writing this, but today is my last first day as a full-time student.

The wave of emotions that have been coming over me the past week have been a little rough, I'm not going to lie. Senior year means a lot of lasts, but the possibility of so many amazing firsts afterwards. I've decided that this semester is going to consist of good-times, late nights, job applications, laughs, caffeine and amazing friends.

Keeping that in mind, here are my goals for my senior semester:



Health
- Find 6 healthy, easy dinners I love to eat
-Continue to prioritize yoga/cardio/strength training
-Continue to snack "smart"
-Start to meal plan

Social
-Say yes to going out more than I say no
-Take lots of photos

Academic
-End my undergraduate career strong, with a 3.8

Career
- Continue to put 110% into my internships
-Connect with 3 more people in Boston
-Spend at least 15 minutes a day networking
-Perfect my resume & cover letter
-Have a job before I graduate
-Create a career manifesto
-Look into freelancing

Financial
-Save $3,500 by December
-Follow a strict budget

Extra:
-Plan Mr & Miss Phoenix really well, and increase attendance and funds!
-Collaborate more on my blog


I know that there are a lot of goals on here, but I know that I can do it. Maybe I am setting myself up for failure, but if I reach 10 of these goals I'll call it a success!


What are you goals? How do you set goals? What do you consider a success? Any advice on these goals?

xoxo

  20. You can do it! I've found such a difference when I prioritize strength training and fitness, so I'm definitely not stopping that anytime soon!

  21. You and I share some similar goals here. Sometimes they can be lofty, but if we push ourselves to accomplish them, it can feel great once it's done!

    I don't know too much about Boston, even though I love the place, but I follow a fashion blogger in that area-- whengreyskiesareyou.com-- so I'd suggest maybe trying to connect with her! Just a thought.

    Best of luck this semester!
