Back to uni!

Hey guys

I start back at uni tomorrow and thought it would be good to write a different type of post.

It's a really important year for me and I really want to get good marks so I need to make some realistic aims.

When I begin a new academic year I always make these promises to myself about how I'll revise a lot more, spend less, eat healthily you know the usual lol 

So I thought if I put my goals in writing it might be easier to achieve and I'll be more likely to stick to them so what better place to put it than on my blog!

1. Get organised and keep organised

     - I always start off organised but give

       it a few weeks and my folders are a

       mess and my room begins to get

       cluttered

       This year I'm gonna try and file my

       notes as soon as soon as I have

       them instead of waiting for them to 

       pile up

2. Write up notes ASAP

     - As soon as I finish a set of notes in

       lectures I want to have written them

       up in my own writing (within a week)

       and filed away so it's easier to make

       my flashcards and mind maps when

       it comes to revision.

3. Start coursework ASAP

    - No more leaving things last minute

       I want to start my assignments

       within 3-5 days of the day it has

       been set

4. Exercise regularly and continue

    barely ordering take out

    - Healthy body healthy mind! :)

      Exercise is a great way to relieve

      stress and uni can get very stressful.

      I recently lost a stone but I slacked 

      over the holidays so I want to lose

      a stone or 2 and then tone up.

      I want to be going to the gym 2-3

      times a week even more if I can in

      less busy weeks. 

      I've been managing to order take out

      less which is great because not only

      does it save me money, it

      encourages me to cook so I can

      make relatively healthy meals.

5. Procrastinate less!!!

    - I'm a massive procrastinator. It

      should be my middle name. At uni I 

      use tv shows to procrastinate. For

      some reason all my shows come

      back when uni resumes- it's almost

      like they want me not to work. 

      I'm going to try (emphasis on the try

      and only watch when I'm eating and

      maybe an hour or so before bedtime. 

      Make sure my work is done first

      before I watch.

6. Keep blogging!!!

    -With increasing workload it's difficult.

      to keep up with leisure but I really.  

      don't want my blogging to suffer. I'm

      a relatively new blogger and I really.

      enjoy it and I don't want going back

      to uni to mean less posts so I'm

      going to try to post a minimum of 3

      posts a week. Some months maybe

      crazy busy but I'll try my best!!!

Hope you've enjoyed my post. It's different type but I wanted to get myself in the best mind frame so I can start this year as I mean to go.

Then I can look back next year when I'm in my final year and can see what I achieved, what went well, what didn't go well and anything else I need to do.

Anybody out there starting uni or sixth form and has set themselves goals? I'd love to read them!

Thanks for reading! :)
