These boxes are usually decorated with photos (mostly cutouts from magazines) and they serve the purpose of reminding one what goals are supposed to be attained. Inside the box can be quotes, lists of dreams, goals for yourself, and anything at all that will inspire you to follow your dreams!

How I did it: I all of my birthday money (as well as saved up other money I normally spend on 'crap' items). I asked around to my "photographer friends" about what cameras they use and researched online to decide upon what brand/model to buy.(the time is completely estimated, from the birthday on) Read how I did it…
How I did it: Applied many places... I was willing to do more jobs for less hours and I ended up getting a job as an usher for a summer theatre. I'm happy with that even though the hours aren't exactly where I'd like them to be. Read how I did it…
I may be marking this one off soon. My biggest problem with that? When do you mark this type of item off your list? How much do you have to know of a language to legitimately be able to say “I can speak __”? I’ve decided that being able to get by in another country is where I will draw my line. Granted, the best way to test this would be to study abroad for a period of time but I don’t have the resources for that. Anyways, I’m not fluent in Spanish currently but I’ll have completed the intermediate level classes at my college in another three weeks. My friends and I can speak in the past, present, future, conditional, subjunctive, etc. We can hold conversations in Spanish. I think I’ll count this as “done” when I finish this course because I’ll actually be able to handle some conversations ‘en EspaƱol”. Looking forward to it!
When I was home for the summer (and of course forgot to update this site), I had actually reached 130lbs! I was very excited because I had been solidly 135 for all of high school. 130 (by the regular bmi) is perfect for my gender and height! I’ve only weighed myself once since summer and I had gained one pound back to be at 131 lbs. I’m not sure EXACTLY what I am now but I hope to maintain this weight from here on out. I won’t mark this off just yet (I need to weigh myself again sometime this semester before I feel like I can truly count this as “done”).
