Before I leap, here are some of my goals and fears for the year...

My number one personal goal for next year is to keep my life balanced! I want to maintain my gpa, slt, work, and cheer schedule and leave enough time for myself to exercise, relax, and spend time with my friends. When I think about it, I can't see how there could be enough hours in the day to accomplish all of this, but that just requires me to be organized and disciplined. Also, I know I will be happier and less stressed if I prioritize and follow through with what I say I am going to do.

One of my goals for SLT next year is to learn to work with people that have different opinions. Also, another one of my goals is to be able to confidently conduct myself professionally. I know this one will come with practice and what better job than LSS to perfect this one! Speaking of LSS, my goals are to plan proactively, market early, and get more people in attendance! Another goal, possibly a big dream, is to bring well-known speakers on campus.

Some school goals are to find the track I want to go into with my major, Communication, and match my major and my interests to a possible job I'd like to have after I graduate. Working cheer camps all summer has got me thinking about going into education so that I have my summers free to coach. And I also think itd be neat to be a high school cheer coach one day. This year my goal is to explore the careers that I am interested in and really start figuring out what I want to do.

Some of my fears for next year are that I wont keep that same energy I had my first year because everything was new and exciting then. However, I know that once I get settled back in Austin I will get a second wind and start off fresh. To face this fear, I will make sure I find time for myself to relax and also find new things in Austin to do when I am free. I will capitalize on my spare time and use it wisely when I can! Another fear is that I won't be able to hang out with my significant other as much as they may like me to. I'm afraid I won't be able to say no when I am too busy and can't go to everything. I plan on facing this fear by talking about my fear and making sure I PLAN AHEAD and prioritize.

Writing about my goals for next year has gotten me excited to start the next semester already!
