Since i have been concentrating on school, I haven’t done much for this goal until recently. I still have stuff to do for school, but I have been looking a bit more seriously. I hope I get a good job, even if it doesn’t turn into a long-term career. I just need some real-world work experience!

How I did it: I only went for 2 days, but I put 5 because I added going out and buying the equipment, and planning and booking everything. I used the internet to find sites. I didn't want to go too far, so I chose a place about 2 hours away. Also went to a sports/outdoor megastore to get the tent, an air mattress, etc. Read how I did it…
How I did it: First I got rid of everything 'that didn't fit me anymore, and things that I was tired of having in my wardrobe collecting dust. Maybe someone else can enjoy them. I have been consistenly adding to my wardrobe every season, and lately, every month. I make sure i can make at least three outfits with whatever I buy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I read some really insightful books and developed small habits to stop former bad habits. I don't want to focus on the negative anymore. Thinking about problems just makes them worse! Read how I did it…

I’m making an effort with this again. This past weekend I went out with different friends without my boyfriend. I had a good time! I definitely felt a bit more independent!
So something horrible happened in terms of this goal. The scale i had been using at the gym had been broken this whole time. They just replaced it and it turns out I weigh a lot more than I thought I did (about 10lbs). So this goal is on the back burner until it can be more realistic.
