So far I’ve cleaned a ton of my room and repainted. Now I just have a little bit more of organizing to go and this goal will be complete!

It’s summer now and I don’t have much to do. This is going to turn into actually SET an alarm and get up and do something pretty quick.
Travel. I love to travel, seeing new things makes me feel more alive. I love to experience different cultures and learn about different people’s ways of life.
I feel as though I have procrastinated my whole life away. I feel stopping is pretty key to my happiness.
This is something that I’m truly struggling with. I tend to regret even the smallest thing. I need to learn to let things go, relax and not take things to seriously. You only have one life, so live it to its fullest.
Friends. I have some very amazing friends that I’m truly thankful for. I will miss them after graduation, but I know they will always be with me.
I’m graduating undergrad in a week and a half without a clue of what I want to do. Part of me is excited for the opportunity to be able to do whatever it is I choose. Part of me is also terrified…
“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.
No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.
Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.
Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it – which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?
I don’t know.”
-Paolo Coelho
Learning. I love learning new things, thinking, exploring, but often times I don’t take enough time to do it. I get caught up in routine, when really, all I want is to know more about anything and everything.
I’m thinking the phrase let it be on my hip would be a good one. Now I just have to go out and do it…
I am now realizing that one of my passions may lie in construction of clothing (specifically costumes), patterning clothing, etc. So for practice. I may as well make myself something nice :)
To me, this goal is more about meeting deadlines where as stop procrastinating is about things that don’t really have a specific day to get done by, they just inevitably should be done. Things such as clean, go buy new clothes, etc. are in the stop procrastinating area. Actually doing research and finishing this 12 page paper on Tolkien is in the do things when they’re supposed to get done category.
Recently, I’ve been debating what I want to do with my life. I am about to graduate college and I’m not sure I’m interested in what I have been studying for the last four years anymore. While working with one of my professors, we were having a discussion in which she said “I hope you find your bliss.” This phrase really stuck with me. I’m not sure I know how to achieve this or if it’s even possible, but it’s worth giving it a try.
I’m definitely one of those people who has huge hopes for getting up early, spending a ton of time relaxing and getting ready in the morning… but then when the morning comes around I hit snooze as many times as I possibly can before rolling out of bed with 5 minutes to spare to throw on some clothes and run out the door.
So for now. My goal is to set a realistic alarm that I’ll actually get up for and then move on to maybe having some free time in the morning from there.
