Summer Goals 2017

Happy 1st Day of Summer Everyone!!!

I have 14 weeks of summer (before school starts again) and I want to make the most of my time.  Summers have passed me by in the past, but I won’t let that happen this time!!!

Here Are My Summer Goals:

1. Become a full-stack developer-  I decided last Saturday that I want to do this just so that I have more employable skills and a better understanding of technology.  I may not be employable by the end of the summer, but I found some good tutorials to follow and I want to make sure that I take steps in the right direction.
2. Review Algebra-I will admit that my quantitative skills are rusty.  So I have borrowed my sister’s Algebra 2 book and between that and Khan Academy I should be in much better shape by the end of the summer!
3. Study Chemistry- Chemistry was rough last quarter, but mainly due to my health issues and family emergencies.  I still have my text book so I am going to read it and exercise that part of my brain.  I may even utilize the tutoring center on campus.
4. Eat Clean- This is an ongoing goal of mine that could use some TLC this summer.  Today I believe that I took some steps in the right direction by committing to make healthier choices.
5. Create and stick with Daily Routines – My sleep schedule has been a mess lately and it negatively affects my productivity during the day.  It was also a common problem throughout the school year.  I want to work on creating these healthy habits now so that they will flow naturally during the school year.
6. Read 1 book every 2 weeks- Last year I wanted to read a book a week.  And while I read more than I have in a long time; I didn’t finish it in one week so I am going to create a realistic goal for myself and see if this is more manageable for me.  Also I will be dividing my time since I have a lot of academic goals in place.
7. Shadow a Physical Therapist- I would like to take some time to do this especially since I want to study physical therapy in the future.  I have the number of my mom’s physical therapist and she is willing to meet with me.  I just need to set up days and times.  I am going to wait a little longer so that my injury will heal.
8. No complaining- Okay so I would love to say that I am not a complainer, but that has NOT been the case.  I am going to work on that this summer especially when my bf comes home because he sadly has had to listen to many of my complaints.  Bless his heart, he is a saint ❤
9. Go to the Beach- I have my heart completely set on going to the beach this summer.  Nothing can stop me ❤
10. Lose Weight – I hate to put it so bluntly, but if I am real with myself; I know that I am at an unhealthy weight and I need to lose it so that I can live a better quality life and feel better about myself.
11. Organize My Life- I want to be neat and tidy this summer… and forever.  My brain always functions way better when I am.
12. Brightline Eating- I have a free bootcamp that I can use this year.  It would be ashamed if I just let this opportunity pass.  I am going to do it this summer!  And it will help with my other goals too.
13. Dance- I want to properly heal my injury so that I can dance.  So I will make sure that I do my pt exercises daily.
14. Meditation or Yoga- I have issues with sitting still, but I want to start practicing because it will help with the clarity of my mind.
15. Become a better blogger- I love this blogging community and I want to learn more about being better.

Those are MY summer goals!  What are your summer goals?!  Please comment below to share your goals I would love to cheer you on!!!

Love, Joy, and Blessings Always,
