My Goals for 2017

Last year I made my self some goals and I actually listened to them. (I know, very surprising.) But this year I want to make myself some goals that I actually can achieve. Everybody can write that they want to get an "A" in a class, but I have thought about ways that I actually could get the grades I want.

School
1.  Get an A in 7 of my 8 classes // When I sign up for classes, I'm that one person that piles on all the classes that nobody wants to take such as Chemistry and Physics. I currently have a few As, but I would like more. (For the classes that I have Bs in, I'm only a point or 2 away from an A)

2. Participate more in clubs // I'm currently in Theatre, Marching Band, Computer Club and Spanish Club. I would love to join a few new clubs and participate more in the ones I'm already in.

Blog
1.  Get 2,000 followers on instagram // This is honestly such a hard goal for me and I have no idea why. I wanted to get to 1k for the end of 2016, and now we're here and that hasn't happened yet. I have high hopes that I'll get to 2k! 

2. Post consistently // On my Instagram, (@thervaprep) I have decided to post every day, yet still maintain high quality photos. I want to create a good schedule for my blog also. I love my blog so much and I want it to really grow a lot in 2017! 

3. Interact More // I don't ever want to come off as one of those bloggers that you can't go to with problems or questions. I always have tons of questions that I ask my bff's about (blogger best friends) and I'm not afraid to ask larger bloggers any questions either. I look at it this way, they're putting their life online and opening themselves up for questions, exactly like me. I also want to be better at replying to emails and comments on my instagram or on here. 

4.  Meet more bloggers! // There is a few I have in mind the next time I go down to Flordia and in Richmond. This year I met Delaney and Lucy, but next year I would love to meet at least 2 more! 

Personal
1.  Workout at least 3 times a week// I actually really love working out and being at the gym in workout classes. This week is going to be crazy with trying to go back to school and trying to maintain a workout schedule. ( I go back on Monday.....) 

2. Be Positive // I try to be as positive as I can be, but sometimes that's super hard for me. I tend to be slightly judge mental and I would love to change that. I would also love to talk to more people and stop being so weirded out when people from my school figure out I own a blog. 

3. Never Giving Up // I have a ton of goals, and I'll never be able to achieve any of them if I don't dedicate my life to a new lifestyle to incorporate all these goals. I don't want to change everything, but I have those things listed above and a few smaller goals and more specific things in my planner. 

My quote for the year 2017, "Dreams don't become reality without positivity, motivation or a whole lot of faith." 

My word: happiness
