    -Study more, like really study.
    -Volunteer
    -Join more clubs
    -Socialize more with people that aren't just in the honors program.

    1) actually show UP to my classes regularly
    2) get into a sleeping routine (so I can show up to classes)
    3) gym at least 3 times a week; partner or no partner
    4) don't save studying and assignments until the night before and "get over it"
    5) socialize a little more, and don't let the fact that my ex-boyfriend is in all my classes :S
    6) don't stress so much and have fun! last year!

    Get to 20% bodyfat, exercise at least 30 mins a day.
    Graduate at the end of the semester.
    Not let graduation/interviews get in the way of classes
    Get at least a B in probability the second time.

    I got you. When I look at what I need to improve on to make working full time, going to school and taking care of my elderly mother, I get stressed thinking about it.

    Turn in all my assignments on time! And in doing so, raise my gpa.
    Also, find somr volunteering to do.
    This is my first semester without a job so im taking some extra credits with hopes of graduating in march. Since im. Unemployed that means more time for studying and more time for the gym. I want to get all A's this semester, no reason why I cant! :D

    My classes this semester are all from 7:15-9:45 and usually when I have late classes I go get fast food afterward but this semester I will eat a healthy dinner during my office hours before class, or eat something light during class. I will not raid the vending machines either because I plan to always have healthy snacks with me!

    This is a great thread!

    - Go to all of my classes.
    - Stay organized! Calendar/agenda
    - Focus on understanding, not just memorizing
    - Stay prepared with food! Bring lunches/dinners!

    The last one is super important for me since I'll also be working and will pretty much never be home for meals. I can't resort to fast food!

    Hmm...

    1. Remember that pizza and Taco Bell aren't food groups.

    2. As great as Coca-Cola is for my caffeine buzz, I'm going to try and avoid it.

    3. Stop procrastinating on papers. 10 PM is not an acceptable time to start!

    4. And speaking of working through the night -- Manage my time well enough that I can get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night.

    1. Go to the gym once a week, do cardio and/or circuit training at home.
    2. No more fast food! Try to eat more veggies and fruits.
    3. Sleep properly (I usually get around 3-4 hours of sleep on a weekday, then 12 hours on weekends). <--- the hardest thing to do
    4. Turn off the wifi when I study (I get distracted by Facebook and Twitter urgh!)
    5. Not to focus on my failures and just do my best and have fun when I do things for school!
    6. Be more active (literally lol!) in my organizations.
    7. Since I dorm, I don't see my family often... go home at least once a week so I can spent some time with my family. :)
