Happy fourth of July! As we kick off the second half of the year with fireworks, sandy beaches, and good food, I wanted to look back on the goals that I set for 2018 in this post and see what I've done and where I need to be by the end of the year.
+ workout more regularly
I'll admit I haven't kept up with this one. Now that I'm not dancing 3 times a week at school I know that I need to get on track with a workout routine, and I've been doing some research into different gyms and programs. I still need to find something that fits my needs and then I can get going!
+ read more
I also haven't done a great job with this one and as I mentioned in my post last week, sometimes I don't like reading because I feel like it makes me feel / can be seen as a waste of productive time. This obviously isn't the case, and I hope to get better about reading lots of great stuff so I can share it here with you.
+ clean my makeup brushes more frequently
With summer in full swing, I don't typically wear a lot of makeup daily. I've gotten more in the habit of using my fingers to blend and stick to one shade of eyeshadow on the lid if I want more dimension. That being said, I do still use my Beauty Blenders daily so I have been better about cleaning them probably every 2-3 weeks.
+take advantage of social opportunities
I think I did a great job of this one during my last semester at school! I enjoyed myself and went out and spent time with friends a lot, while still finding a good balance with my schoolwork. There are 1 or 2 occasions when I wish I went out but didn't, but for the most part I'm in tune with how much my body can handle and know that I still had my fair share of fun!
+get a 4.0 in my last semester
I was soo happy that during my senior year, I was able to get high honors for my sorority in the fall and then end my career with a 4.0 GPA in the spring. I worked incredibly hard and put in lots of hours to make sure that I was on track to achieve this goal, and it paid off!
+get a job after graduation
This is the next step for me! When I wrote my initial post back in January, I was gearing up for a major interview with a company whose offer I ultimately turned down. It was an exciting time knowing that I was going into the new year with a potential job offer on the horizon. Ultimately, I knew that the job was too far from all the people I care about and that I wanted something more closely aligned with my major / interests. But, it was a wonderful experience and I learned so much in the process. I'm still in the thick of job applications at the moment, but I am confident that something will work itself out soon :)
Some goals I have for the second half of the year are:
+get familiar with NYC (the neighborhoods and the subway system)
+stay in touch with college friends
+keep up with blogging regularly
+volunteer with an organization
+begin budgeting and saving
+ travel somewhere new
+redecorate my room
+wake up earlier
+meditate
Where do you stand on your 2018 resolutions?
