Back to School Goal Setting

It's that time of year! Back to school for so many of us! I always take opportunity of this time of year to re-evaluate my position and look back on my achievements.

I've worked hard for my entire academic career. I've been blessed with good brains and I've worked them hard haha! I've always done well in school and in my opinion that's because I enjoy it! As far as I can remember, I've never not wanted to go to school. I love to learn and that's always worked in my favour!

University has always been something that's been in my path. I never thought that I'd do anything else after college (In the UK we have high school for 5 years between the age of 11-16, then you have the choice to go on to college for another 2 years until you're 18 before applying to University). I know for sure that I'm not ready to go out into the wide world of work yet but I know that some of my friends couldn't even begin to entertain the idea of going back to education. As I mentioned; I've always enjoyed school so this is just the next step for me.

It's also a huge step. To a certain extent, I'm stepping in to the world of the unknown. Nobody in my family has been to University. I'm the first (and yes that makes me so proud!) so there are a lot of things I'm unsure about and I know that I'm going to learn along the way. I'm going to make mistakes but that's part of life! I know for sure that I'm going to try my absolute hardest in all aspects of my University life and maximise the experience. 

Related to all of this is an old tradition of mine; I always set goals for myself at the start of any academic year. They don't have to be school/grade related but it's great to check back on myself at the end of each term/semester to see how I'm progressing.

This year is no different, in fact it's even more prominent. I'm venturing into this new world and I'll need to keep myself grounded!

Some of the goals on my list at the moment (it's not finished yet!) include;

- Make the most of each opportunity presented to me, academically or otherwise,
- Get involved. Become a part of the campus societies and sports clubs
- Continue to actively motivate and inspire others.
- Share the Tone It Up love
- Make new friends!! Don't be shy - be myself!
- Work hard; do my best - don't take it for granted
- Play hard
- Make more steps to reaching my goal body!

That's it for now! Have you got any back to school goals? Share them with me! :)
