Going to bed completely satisfied.

I love this feeling. I haven't felt this way in a long time. This feeling of utter accomplishment. This feeling of doing everything I needed to do today/tonight and more! I'm documenting so hopefully I feel the need to document again. Honestly, it really is just the first day and if I can just make this a habit, I know good things will come of it. I have everything to gain and nothing to lose. It's like having to just wake up in the morning regardless of how heavy my eyelids are. I have to commit and do regardless of how much work it feels like and how far away it all seems. Starting is the hardest part and if I can just get past that point... I'll be good.

My goals for this semester? (I decided to set some but really, truly stick to them! It's even my phone's lock screen!)

• Commit to study times!
• get dressed up
• eat/drink/snack healthy
• take breaks
• Go to every class!
• get dressed up
• bring a healthy drink
• engage yourself
• Establish sleep times!
• read 10-10:30 nightly
• take vitamin for breakfast
• set your own alarm

It's good that I'm putting these down somewhere again. I was starting to forget them... I made them a few weeks ago after all! But this is what I think will help me get to my three main goals. I tried to make those three main goals things that would help me accomplish an overarching goal: work hard on and turn in every assignment!

It sounds really hard... so I do hope to accomplish this small feat in my academic career!

Comment your study tips and tell me how you like to study! Coffee, tea, or energy drink? Classical, rock, or K-pop? Hour long sessions with 10 minute breaks? Cramming before the test?

And please, please, please someone share their magical secrets of always going to class and always going to the library!

Motivation is key!
