New Year, Better You

I wanted to take my first post in 2018 and talk about first, how I get organized for the upcoming semester (tips and tricks) and then, telling you all about my goals and plans for the year!

Reorganizing

To start, I like coming back to school and reorganizing. I bought a couple new items for my desk, so the colors all went together, and another pack of my favorite colored pens. Sometimes it's little things like this that give me motivation to start off the semester right! I also recommend buying a new planner if you don't already have one! My planner is my life saver and one of the only ways I can stay organized. You can find my favorite planners here. Target also as some more affordable options here.

How I Set Up My Planner

I color code all my classes and write out my class schedule for the week, and stick it in the front of my planner. Then, I write in all important due dates and social events, in the correct color of course, in my planner and on my calendar that I have above my desk. I also make daily to-do lists every morning so I know what all I want to accomplish that day!

Fresh Start

I clean out all my binders and folders from last semester and either throw all my notes out or give them to friends that are taking that class. Then, I make sure I have all my books and everything else I need and I'm ready for the semester!

My Goals for 2018

I have some pretty big goals for this year and I'm excited to see what all I accomplish and comes from them!

First off I really want to invest more time into my blog. I plan on completely re-doing it and getting my official URL! I want to start bringing more outfit inspo to y'all via Instagram and having shopable links on there. I want to make weekly posts on here bringing you the latest trends and sales, news in the fashion world, and what's going on with my life! I have a huge list of all my blog topic ideas and I can't wait to share them with y'all!

Now for some personal goals...I really want to get my health and fitness under control. I know I know that sounds so cliché however, I'm off to a good start! I went grocery shopping and only allowed myself to buy healthy items, I've been cooking myself meals when I don't get food from my sorority house, and I've gotten myself to start working out on a regular basis! I plan to continue this and I can share my tips, tricks, recipes, and workouts with y'all! My last personal goal for 2018 is start saying yes more and figuring things out as I go. Basically, I just really want to start going after my dreams and aspirations and not let my own personal demons or the opinions of others effect my decisions! One of my favorite bloggers that I really look up to, Olivia Rink, just made a post about "Done is better than perfect," and talked about how if you wait for the perfect timing opportunities are going to pass you by. I think that is great advice and so true!

What are your goals and aspirations for 2018?

I can't wait for this upcoming year and to see all the new experiences and opportunities it brings! Happy 2018 y'all!
