I never used to be someone who set goals for myself. But recently I&#8217;ve found that they can be really helpful and can really\u00a0challenge you in a positive way. This semester I&#8217;m starting a new chapter in my life, I&#8217;ve switched majors from Production Management to Advertising Marketing &amp; Communications, and I&#8217;m starting my Bachelor&#8217;s Degree. I thought it only fitting to set myself a few goals, to help guide me in the right direction and hopefully make me feel like I&#8217;ve achieved something (even if it&#8217;s something really small).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Higher my GPA\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; Last semester wasn&#8217;t my semester. I took so many different classes, because I had\u00a0to take a lot of\u00a0prerequisite classes for AMC. I ended up with classes that did not relate to each other, which was really\u00a0stressful. But this my schedule looks much better and I love all my classes (which is always a bonus).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get more involved in school\u00a0activities<\/strong> &#8211; FIT has great community service activities you can get involved with. I love interacting with other students and feeling like I&#8217;ve helped someone. This semester I really want to start helping and volunteering more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start looking\/applying for a Spring internship<\/strong> &#8211; I know it&#8217;s early, but I know myself and if I wait too long, I&#8217;m not going to do it. Also I don&#8217;t want to do it when I have all my exams, because I don&#8217;t want to have that extra stress on my shoulders.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay on a Budget\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; I know I&#8217;m not the only one when it comes to spending less than what I make.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be more CREATIVE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If I can do it, you can do it!<\/p>\n<p>xoxo<\/p>\n<p>-Z<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello there!
