MIA but Back in the New Year

I know I've been MIA the past seven months but I'm back and ready to go. I just hope this semester doesn't start and then I get behind again.

Since June so much has happened. And I have definitely learned a lot, educationally and otherwise. In a quick gist of things, my boyfriend and I broke up for three months then got back together, I had my first semester at GMU and I've gained a sense of some sort of accomplishment.

Overall, I loved 2011. I started a great relationship with a man I truly love and things are just getting better! Also, I did really well during my first semester at Mason and it's made me excited for the future.

During my first semester at Mason I learned a lot about communications and public relations and it help me come up with a more solid understanding and goal of what I'd like to do in life. Even though I always knew it, this past semester has just reassured me that blogging truly helps me with different aspects of my major and goals.

So since I'm back in the new year, I've come up with a few goals I'd like to accomplish. And yes some of them are the "usual" and will probably bring an eye roll.

1) Pay off my Victoria's Secret credit card (and never use it again) and my credit card.
2) Start putting aside $50 per paycheck into a savings account.
3) Lose 15 pounds. Yes, everyone wants to do this but I am truly unhappy with my body at the moment. It's not exactly my weight, it's my proportions. I have skinny arms and legs but then all my weight sits in my midsection. Due to the fact that my family has a background of back problems, heart problems, and diabetes, I do not want to keep the weight on that part of my body.
4) Maintain at least a 3.2 GPA and keep focused on school.
5) Find an internship for something involving communications, preferably public relations. I've had a few friends within my major graduate and are now working part time jobs in retail, food, and salons. I don't want to graduate and not find a job and internships are truly important in that process.
6) Keep up with blogging! I aim to blog at least two-three times a week. I'd also like to increase my numbers of followers.

For now these are the only goals I really have but they are kind of difficult and/or time consuming. I hope that 2012 is the year that I am able to stick to my goals and you are alb to stick to yours!

Wish me luck. :)
