Goals Revived! - And Pwning Life 2.0

So I was in my Student Development class and can you believe the subject? It was goal setting and on my teacher's PowerPoint, he had stated that there are 6 types of goals:

• Social - I want to get married by age 24. Basically anything that has to do with your social life.
• Academics - Ex. I want to get this GPA by September 25.
• Religious - Ex. Pray 2 times a day.
• Personal - Ex. I want to write a novel by the time I'm 50.
• Physical or Health - Basically like losing weight, or and other health related goal.
• Financial - Anything based on money. Ex. Make $1000.00 a month.

And my college professor also stated that there were six characteristics of goal setting. When he brought that up, that caught my eye because most people set goal that are too far-fetched. They set a goal that they most likely wont complete because it sounds like an impossible goal. So if all of your goals had these six characteristics, they would work and you most likely could accomplish them. And these six characteristics are:

• Believable - Is this goal possible for me to do?
• Measurable - How long do I have to complete this goal. Can I complete this goal in a lifetime?
• Adaptable - 
• Reasonable - Is this goal something I could complete?
• Controllable - Can I control whether this goal happens? Example of a non-controllable goal: The New England Patriots will go to the Super Bowl this year.
• Desirable - Is this goal something that I anxiously want?

"You'll notice that Believable and Reasonable are kind of the same thing."

And then now for the difference between a good goal and a bad goal.

College Do's and Don'ts

I am now a high school graduate. Sorry for not posting for tons of months. This article is on college do's and don'ts. So to start off. I would like to say I know by experience some of these things that could possibly ruin your life in college. So to start the list:

Do's.
1. Get to know your professor. Professors are humans too. They are not put there to ruin your life. Just to change your expectations. If you get to know your professors, that could be the difference between having that 89.9% as apposed to achieving that 90%.

2. Study a whole lot (More than you've ever thought of studying before). The reason for this is that this isnt high school where you have 36 weeks to pass the class. In college you have 8 or 16 weeks to pass and there really isn't a whole lot of assignments to hone your skills.

3. Check your college email frequently (Like 3 times a day). Simply because some professors wont tell you some things that they will instead expect you to check your email to find out.

4. Go to sleep at a time where you will have ATLEAST 8 hours of "Zzzz.." time. Simply because I'm sure everyone has that one professor that is extra boring that you just want to sleep in front of. We've all had them.

5. Get a good breakfast. I know, I know you've seen this a lot. But seriously. Do it. Theres nothing worse than sitting in a classroom for 2 hours and instead of listening to what is being said. You are thinking about food. Happens to me all the time even when I eat breakfast.

Now for the Don'ts

1. Never party all night long especially if you have a class at 7 and you come home at 4 from partying. Because chances are you are completely out of it and just want to sleep. Or eat.

2. Don't have a game open and ready for playing after your done studying. Most of us have that super addicting game that we love to play on the computer.

3. Caution! Facebook!! This explains itself.

4. Loud smartphone. Another thing that is just distracting. Almost as much as Facebook.

These are just the bare minimum. Basically the things that i got away from doing to make myself more successful in college. If you have anything you would like to add.

Women and Your Goals

Women can really effect how you go about doing your goals and everyday tasks. For instance, if you lose your woman, chances are that you will feel different than normal and the goals you want to accomplish won't get done. But we just have to look at the bright sides. Losing a woman doesn't mean the end of the world as we know it. It just means that we need to try harder and find the right person that will like you for who you are.

However, in my case, I've found that Miss Right. She even helps me and motivates me to complete my goals. Sure there are some days where I just dont feel like doing anything, those are my LAZY moments/days. But on my regular days, I try my hardest to stand up and do what I have to do to my life and my girlfriends life the best they can possibly be. For starters, here is my goals list for the week of April 18-24.

1. Fix the front lawn (Destroy all the weeds and put grass seed)
2. Create 1 or 2 videos and upload them to YouTube.
3. Take my girlfriend out to eat.
4. Get my hair cut and be ready for prom on Friday
5. Finish my FAFSA application
6. Take my Math placement test for college
7. Start working out

And here starts my long term-ish goals.
1. Slim down (Gotten fat over the year) <----So you can say Workout.
2. Put this blog on its own domain (Meaning get its own site name and not end with ".blogspot.com"
3. Start promoting my YouTube videos
4. Get a job
5. Start a Pwning Life (or Owning Life) group in my community college
6. Meet my girlfriends parents (a very hard thing to do)

Lastly...
HAVE THE PWNING LIFE GROUP BE KNOWN NATIONWIDE (US & CANADA)!!

But as you can see, these are REASONABLE goals to do. Most people say they will TRY to accomplish their goals. But TRYING isn't enough if you're part of this group. You have to be committed to make a difference in your life or somebody else's. So there is no "I'll try" there's only a "I will" in this. And as long as I follow that code, goals will get done, my life will get better. And hopefully somebody else's.
