Happy New Year (It’s 2015)!!!

Happy New Year! I hope that everyone has had an amazing holiday season. Along with every new year comes New Year’s Resolutions, so here are my New Year’s Resolutions.

  1. Create a stronger relationship with God
  2. Establish confidence within myself
  3. Be the best mother that I can be
  4. Get into Graduate School MBA Program
  5. Graduate from college (May 2015)
  6. Save at least $1000 by the end of 2015
  7. Learn how to spend my money (I do not like spending money)
  8. Plan a Wedding
  9. Post blog posts more often and on a regular basis (once a week)
  10. Move home
  11. Start filming YouTube Videos
  12. Have more fun (Friends, family, etc.)
  13. Stretch Daily (for at least 30 min.)

All of these resolutions are personal endeavors of mine. Whether they be spiritual, mental, or physical they are in order of importance. Like most people, I make resolutions every year, but the key to upholding these resolutions is being specific about what I want to accomplish. When I make the goals specific, I have a more obtainable goal to reach.

Happy New Year to everyone! May 2015 be one of your best years yet.

School Starts Soon: Senior Year

  In just a few weeks school will be starting. This is my SENIOR YEAR of college. I repeat: SENIOR YEAR! How exciting? It feels like I just started college yesterday. I honestly cannot believe that this time as an undergraduate is almost over.

What is my major? 

  I am an Agricultural Leadership and Development major. I plan to conduct animal field research (wildlife research) and open my own animal shelter. 

Do you plan on going to graduate school?

  At the moment, I plan on getting my MBA (Masters of Business Administration) and my Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy) degree in Marine Biology. I am not sure where I want to go for graduate school but I will keep looking.

Are you excited for school to be beginning but coming to an end?

  I am very excited for my senior year, because I made it through college. Of course I have to get my diploma, but the work that it takes to get there will have been completed (I am very proud of that).

Where do you want to work when you graduate?

  My original goal was to become a veterinarian and work for Disney’s Animal Kingdom (That is still possible) but I would really like to intern at the Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL. Ultimately, I would like to apply for grants and travel the world exploring animals in their natural habitat and write about it for National Geographic or for television documentaries.

  I want to end up working for myself in my animal shelter for domestic and exotic animals. It will be really cool to be able to work with all kinds of animals big and small, avian and reptile, river, ocean, land, etc.

Summer and Blogging

Overview of Summer:

  This summer has been a busy summer. Besides trying to establish myself as someone a business would want to hire, I have been hard at work with summer classes. This summer I took 12 hours worth of classes. What a summer! Right? School, school, and more school. At least I get a 3 week break before classes start.

So why did I start this blog?

  I decided to start this blog after reading (more like listening) to the book Recession Proof Graduate on Audible. The book discussed the steps to working for free in order to establish yourself as a great worker to the company of your choice. The blog is a way for future employers as well as average, everyday readers to get to know me. It is also a way to better my Google search.

   The idea of blogging has always been interesting to me, but I was never sure about what I would blog about or if anyone would ever be interested in what I had to say. Now I know that those things really do not matter. I will blog because it is fun to express my thoughts on different trends and things that go on in life and because no matter how many people read and agree or disagree, I know that I can change one persons life with the things that I say.

How often will I blog?

  My blog posts will vary. I know that different things happen in the world to day if I’m going to give my thoughts on the events that occur, they will vary.

Last Thought:

  I am very excited to have started my blog. This is going to be a very fun and new thing for me. The topics of each blog entry will vary. I am so excited to read my own thoughts and fully understand how I think as a person. I am also excited to see how my opinions change as I grow as a person.
