New School Year

Hi Lovelies,
Jessica here-  I'm sitting on the floor of my local community college- taking time to blog to y'all during my first week back to college after the summer semester.  Last night as I was packing away all my new binders all color coded and matching textbooks to binders for today, and packing lunch up - I was feeling the excitement for the new year. Today was a different story- Today I found myself with a roller coaster of emotions.  I was excited, yet scared, I was feeling tons of butterflies as I walked into my first class-which is ECON- I was nervous about re-taking it and questions filled my mind. What if I hate the professor, what if no one in class likes me, what if I hate this class again.  I had to stop and remind myself of my goals for this class and goals for the new school year.

So I figured I'd share some of my goals for this school year.
1- I want to focus more on the classes, break out of my shell and and ask questions.
2- I want to be present in class, not just there but really there - asking questions, answering questions
3- I want to focus my time and energy on doing my best work for each class..
4- I'm aiming for a B average in each of my 6 classes ( yes I said 6!!! was I crazy!!!!)

This school year I want to strive to make friends who will encourage me along the way, I strive to not be the same person 9 months from now that I am today.  I want to grow and learn and change....
This is the same attitude I took with my life.  I'm making a few changes in the way I do life.
- I'm making a point to be intentional with relationships
- I'm making a point to spend less time on social media
- I'm making a point to be more focused on school and doing my best
-I'm making a point to live a healthier lifestyle- more exercise, watching what I eat
-I'm making a point to break out of my shell and make a presence in my classes
and most important: I'm striving to grow closer to God and to make sure I have a solid foundation in Him as I grow...

New things and change can be scary but have no fear lovelies, cause with God nothing is too scary, I'm learning that change and new-ness can be exciting... so this year as your next new thing comes up whether it's school, a new job, or whatever else it is- just think of it as a new chapter in life.


Love you all.
Jessica
