2B My Goals

What are you goals?

Before college started I knew that the workload would double or triple compared to what we had in high school. I knew I had to manage my time so that I could balance having fun, but also making sure that I did my work with my best work ethic. A couple goals I set for myself are to spend at least two hours in the library doing homework every other day. Also, to stay on top of my work and when things are due I'd start using my planner at all times. This has helped me stay on top of things and finish my work, days before it is actually due. For the people that do know me, in high school I never really used my planner, but I did stay on top of my work even without one. High school was more layback so the use of a planner would've been helpful, but was not necessary to stay on track for an average student. In high school I would leave everything for last minute because I would prioritize going out and having fun rather than get my school work done first. Now in college it's a completely different game. This is why I have set these goals, which have been helping tremendously. Now that the amount of work we are getting now is a lot more, it is also more independent learning and self assessed. If we want to be successful it's our job to take control of that and make it happen. We have to guide ourselves through that path in order to reach our goals. Going to the library and spending time there doing homework has also helped myself concentrate and actually understand the work in front of me. The library is such a great place to get work done because it's quiet. When it comes to work that involves reading articles or books (which is basically in every class) I have to have silence. I need to be in a place where there is no noise and nothing to distract me at all. This is why going to the library has been a helpful resource that I'm taking fully advantage of. With these goals, I believe that my college education will be a successful one.
