Goals

Be Stubborn

Monday, September 8, 2014


I saw this quote and thought it perfectly sums up my life. 
As I've gotten older, the one thing I've realized is that things never go as planned, but things always turn out ok. I thought that I would attend my dream college, I would have a perfect GPA, and be on a straight path to medical school. I really thought I was going to be with my first boyfriend for the rest of my life, that I would be living in New York and everything would be just exactly how I wanted. 

Ha! Boy, did things change. Looking back however, not going to my dream school saved me tons of money. I am now attending an amazing graduate school that will get me into a great medical school. I am dating someone else who is even better the first! (Isn't it funny how we always think our first love will be our only love?) 

The one thing that didn't change were my goals. My goal of becoming a doctor and being happy. I think this quote is exactly right. You have to be flexible about your methods. You have to be willing to change because life likes to throw you off course. 

Never, ever change want you want in life, just be ready to change how you get there. 

October Wrap-up!

Saturday, November 2, 2013

The end of October is here! How did my October goals go??

  • Read a 1 non-school book? I read 6!!
  • Watch one Documentary a week (a total of 5)? I only watched two.
  • Journal with Creativity? I did!
  • Finish Personal Statement? .......nope.
Though I did not complete all my goals I am still proud of myself for doing some of them! I really like these monthly goals. They help keep me focused and give me some priorities for the month!

October Goals

Monday, September 30, 2013

Happy October Everyone!!
I cannot believe it! This semester is going much too fast; before I know it, it will be graduation day!
After seeing Carly's post about her new goals for the new quarter, I decided to do the same. 
So here they are!

"Watch 1 Documentary a Week" - This may seem like a strange goal but I thought that this was a good way for me to learn something. I know I'm going to spend majority of my free watching Netflix, so why not get something educational out of it?

"Read at least 1 non-school book" - I have been trying to find a 'cant put down' book for the longest, but I haven't been successful. I usually just get bored. I really want to start reading again so if you have any suggestions let me know!

"Journal with Creativity" - As you can see in the picture, this really can mean anything. I just want to start putting all my creative thoughts on paper, instead of online. That way I can actually have something in my hands to look back on.

"Finish Personal Statement" - I MUST finish my personal statemnet so I can start appplying to Master's programs!

What are your goals for October?
