After a long and cozy winter break, it’s time to hit the books again. A new semester means new classes, professors, classmates, and schedules. It’s an exciting time of year when every student seems to be motivated to be their best possible self. During the first week back, I always find myself in the library preparing notecards and cracking open my new textbooks. My semesters start off with a bang, but after a while I find myself with a bad case of the second semester blues. Icy Kirksville winters have a way of convincing me to stay inside and watch movies all day. But this semester, I am determined to not sink into these ways. In the past, I have set ambitious New Year’s resolutions, as if some magic switch flips at 12:01 on January 1st that will change my life. Instead of a lofty resolution, I want to focus on realistic goals. Here are some goals that CK gals have for this semester:
Get seven hours of sleep regularly
Meditation and gratitude practice every morning
Weekly yoga and lots of water
Learn something new everyday
Write in my journal before bed
I hope that your 2020 is a year of growth, happiness, and achieving your goals. I can’t wait to see all of the wonderful things that you all will accomplish this year.
All my CK love,
Clare
