A Better You for the New Year!

Every single year people promise a variety of things to better themselves in the New Year. This year I am going to make my goals realistic. I am going to try extremely hard to make sure I can live up to my expectations. 

1. Try my best to get to the gym every week.
I want to try and get there at least 3-4 days a week. Even if I can get there for a 30 minute cardio session, that is better than not going at all.

2. Be more confident.
I tend to be a little worried about perception, but who doesn't. This year I want to grow to be comfortable in my own skin and the person I am.

3. Give up fast food!
I am not talking about the pizza you go get at 2am after a long night out, I am talking about McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell... etc. Although that food might be good in the moment it really isn't good for you. I tend to grab that quick on the go but nope, I am going to try the whole "self-control thing" and go without it.

4. Stress about the things that only matter.
I am always stressed about something, whether it is about perfecting a lesson plan for teaching a class or if it is someone sick in my family. I continue to work hard on anything I do and just know when it is good enough. 

5. Spend time with loved ones.
This could mean your family at home, which I always try to do. This can also mean your friends or sorority sisters at school. You do not need an event to bring you all together. Go out of the way to hangout with someone you lost touch with over the years or a sister you never got to know too well. Make your experience a great one!

6. Try to focus on the NOW!
Come Spring 2015 I am graduating. It is finally starting to set in and needless to say it is one of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world. I love where I am now, I have the best sorority sisters, friends, and I love being at Kutztown University. I do not want to graduate just yet, especially because WHERE WILL I BE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS! I always begin to stress about where will I be? Will I be alright there? Will I love my job? How far away from my family will I be? And all of these questions will drive me insane. This is my senior year of college, and my last semester. I am going to make it count!

Hoping to take twins

There has been so much on my head and heart lately. Big/Little selection is approaching and I would really love to take twins however, I am not currently employed. I have 2 interviews approaching on Friday and I'm really hoping one works out. I don't want to take twins and not be able to give them both everything they want in their baskets, my goal is to spoil them rotten.
I've also been having to make some sacrifices when it comes to my social life in order to improve my grades and no longer be on academic probation. Last spring was hard for me due to my grandfather being ill. I'm doing much better in my classes so far, I need to make good grades for myself and to be a role model to my future little(s). This semester is presenting itself as challenging, but I hope the outcome will be worth it. Hard work pays off, and I pray that I am able to welcome two perfect little's into the Animal Cracker family.
