My Goals

Goal #1: Be fluent in French by the time I graduate.
This is probably my farthest reaching goal here. When I started out in French, I though I'd be great at it in four years. This didn't happen but I'm getting better at it! Hopefully by the time graduation comes around, I'll be fluent in it. I just have to continue doing well in my French classes and work as hard as I can.

Goal #2: Study Abroad
I cannot wait to study abroad! Although it is stressful and often pretty hectic, it's all so worth it. I think visiting a place outside of the U.S. is just eye-opening and completely life changing. It is the best way to really experience life. To make sure I do study abroad at some point, I'm going to keep my grades up and stay focused on this goal.  

Goal #3: Have fun, be happy.
I don't want to go through life unhappy, become old and suddenly realize that I sucked at life. No matter what, I am always going to do what makes me happy. I wouldn't care if I lived in a cardboard box without a penny to my name, as long as I was happy (although I can't really see being happy like this, but you never know.) Life is only about having an awesome time, otherwise what's the point? I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and always remember to have a good time.
