Hey Hawks,<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s the first week back on campus! I hope you are having a good time seeing friends and enjoying all the new classes. I thought that I would pop on here to share some of my New Year’s Resolutions\/ goals for the year and this school year. I personally love to set goals at the beginning of each school semester because I feel like it helps me stay on track. Here are some of my goals:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Have a good workout schedule- This is a goal of mine because I tend to hit the gym wayyyy more at home than I do when I am at school, which is silly since the University has a very nice fitness center that is free for all students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Eat less candy\/sugar- I usually don\u2019t reach for candy when I am at home.\u00a0 However, at the University I tend to have some sugar cravings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Spend less time on social media- This is a problem for many people out there, including myself.\u00a0 To combat this habit that I have, I set a time limit for myself on Instagram so that I force myself to get off my phone.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Learn New Skills- There’s a lot of stuff that I would love to learn, so to make this a realistic resolution, I\u2019m going to just hope that I complete 2 out of all of these I have listed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n
      \n
    • Learn to code (possibly get certified in Python by this August)- this will be helpful for my degree\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Learn how to water ski- this is something I have always wanted to learn how to do<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Start Scuba Certification process (To be honest, this has a better chance of happening Spring of 2027, but we shall see) – another activity that’s been on my list for a while<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Learn how to film and edit videos- this would honestly just be for fun, but I think it would be a nice skill to have\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      These are just a couple of the things that I will be working on in the coming year. Feel free to leave me a comment on what your goals are for the coming year. Remember, no goal is too big or small.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Until next time,
      \n<\/span>Savannah\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
