As the end of August quickly approaches, I can't help but think about this coming school year. the thought of starting my third year of undergrad is frightening, yet thrilling at the same time. This year will be the chance to really show how far I've come and the opportunities to start deciding what I really want to do with my life.
My sophomore year was extremely tough on my mental and physical health, but this year I'm ready to take on these challenges. When I reflect back on last year, there are so many things I could have done to prevent my stress, but do I regret any of the decisions I made? Absolutely not.
My intentions for the upcoming year are going to be challenging, but I am determined to have the best year of my life. So, without further ado, here are my fall intentions:
Academics
I am looking to discover what I would like to do with my degree. A lot of people I share classes with are pretty solid in what they want to do with their future, but not me. In my sophomore year, I explored children's wear and really enjoyed it. I think I would like to work towards sustainable fashion, because at the rate the fashion industry is moving, the environment is not going to survive much longer. Outdoor wear is also something I would like to look into.
Health
When I start school I would like to focus more on my health then I ever have before. I will be participating in CHAARG twice a week, with intentions to visit the gym every other day. I will also be focusing more on what will be going into my body, and learning the best ways I can fuel it to feel my best. I would like to try eating gluten free and possibly plant based for a little while to see what it can do for me.
Finances
This year holds exciting opportunities for me as I will be studying abroad starting in January. To make my experience even better I will be working to save as much as I possibly can. I would like to work out a budget plan before I leave for school so I can stay on track.
This is just a small list of what I plan to focus on; and I'm sure as school gets nearer I will think of more, but for now I will leave it here.
