Day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture of yourself

So I was going to take a picture of me right now but I look really gross because I’m sweating profusely from the ridiculous Davis summer heat.

Anyway!  So the plan for the next 365 days is… well that’s rather complex since there are so many elements to it!  I know I’ve said this every year since I started college, but I’m going to make this the best year, whether it be with academics or socializing.  I’ve made a good number of new friends this past quarter, and I’ve been having a lot of fun but I need to focus more.  I’ve learned to focus a lot more than I have freshman year but it still needs work!  Of course, the goal is straight As for the rest of the year.  It’ll be hard but with the help of some of the friends I’ve made, I hope to be able to succeed and reach the goals I’ve always set out for myself.  I hope for the lab internship to go well so that life after graduation won’t be too torturous.  Can you imagine?  This time next year, I’ll be graduated!  Amazing.

In terms of life in general, I’m going to relearn how to become my independent self.  I’ve lost some of that when I came into college (ironic, I know), and I plan to get it back.  I want to take better care of myself—my skin hasn’t been the same since 8 hours a night in high school LOL.  I’m going to cut off some ties from people that clearly don’t care about me until my relationship with them suddenly becomes beneficial.  As mean as it is to say, people are easily replaceable so I don’t need users and people that don’t value my friendship/loyalty in my life.

So in summary, be more organized, manage time better, and value myself :)
