It is that time of year again, a new semester, New Year's resolutions that may not last, new assignments that take all night, new great books to read..etc. It seems to be that annual cycle that happened this time each year where some will win and others loose, why is this? What's with new semesters and calendar dates that make us set new goals for ourselves? Could it be to improve on old ways? Maybe try harder, or work less and live more? To travel and see more? Or learn to play the guitar? Its kind of like a race, we as humans like starting lines and finishing lines. Otherwise we would be running around aimlessly like chickens.
One New Year's resolution I set was cut down on coffee, and by that I mean completely-unrestrained stop drinking it. With two to three cups of purchased brand-name coffee bought each day last year.. its about time I break the addiction and put the money elsewhere. After all a grande hazelnut latte with whip is almost five dollars. With each new year and new semester I try and challenge myself with setting goals. I have a passion in seeing and being apart of change, and change happens when new things are introduced into our bubbles. It's a good thing! Not easy but often exciting and always an adventure. I believe goals are things that one can reach... but not without work and perseverance, if it's too easy; it's a 'to do list' not a list of goals.
Hopefully this year is a race that I am well prepared to run, both academically, socially and with new beverages to try... Good luck running the race!! Enjoy the moments along the way, because after all is said and done, battles won and lost, those moments are the ones that matter the most, not just finish line.
