2019 Goals

Happy New Year!! With a new year comes some new goals! I feel like new year's resolutions usually turn into something that do not get accomplished so I'd rather set some new goals for myself than may be a bit more tangible than "get fit" or something broad like that. I wanted to share with y'all to keep myself accountable and perhaps inspire y'all to set some new goals for yourself as well.

College

make a 4.0

This has been a goal of mine for a while and I have been so close every semester to making it happen so hopefully I can make it happen this upcoming semester. I am super excited for my spring semester classes as I finished my general education requirements for the most part so they are all in my major or minor so hopefully that will be motivation to get that 4.0!

get more involved on campus

So far in college most of my extracurricular involvement has been within my sorority and the Panhellenic community. With my sorority experience ending at the end of the spring semester (I explained everything going on in this post), I want to get more involved in other groups on campus! I've already gotten involved in one organization related to my major that I am super excited about and I can't wait to get involved in things that I am passionate about.

find a better balance between school and fun

Even though college Katie is a lot better at this than high school Katie was, I definitely have room for improvement. I want to find a better balance between school work and life so that I get less burnt out and have time to do what I love and spend time with friends while still getting work done.

Personal

read more

I have always loved to read but ever since starting college, it has been something that has been pushed to the back burner unfortunately. This year, I want to read more books for fun that have nothing to do with what I'm learning in my classes.

get into a workout routine

I do Pure Barre at home, which I go to around 4 times a week but when I am in Clemson, my workout routine is seriously lacking. I want to get into the routine of going to the gym and maybe running again (having a gorgeous campus helps!) hopefully around 3 times a week in 2019.

travel

I already have plans in the work for this goal as I am studying abroad in Italy this May but I am so excited to visit new places. Obviously Italy will be the biggest trip I take this year but I want to explore the areas around Clemson as well by taking more weekend trips!

Chic in Carolina

be more consistent

This fall, y'all definitely noticed a lack of consistency both here on the blog and on my social media accounts. I definitely want to be better about this and focus on posting better content for y'all more often.

redesign the blog

I've been wanting to do this for a while now and 2019 is going to be the year that it happens. I've been using the same blog design (that I made) since I started Chic in Carolina in 2015 and I definitely want something a bit more professional looking and put-together yet still fun!

grow

This kind of goes hand in hand with being more consistent as I feel like posting more often is the best way to grow with social media and blogging. Slow growth can be discouraging at times but I definitely want to grow more in 2019!
