Candy Grandpre’s 2008 New Years Resolutions, Plans & Goals
1) Go to UNT for the Spring semester & then move to California in mid-June when my lease is up.
2) Try to make the best grades I can.
3) Manage & save more money & STICK to a reasonable monthly budget. Go to Student Money Management Center & make out a financial plan/budget.
4) Manage my time, make a schedule, & STICK to it.
5) Eat healthier, exercise @ least 5 X/week, & drink @ least 80 oz. (10 glasses) of water/day. Try to get down to at LEAST 150 or less by my 25th birthday. Tone my body & get stomach muscles. If I have time & money, get a personal trainer & get a dietician’s advice on healthy eating habits.
6) Reduce my fat & sugar intake.
7) Try as best as I can to get into the Social Security PASS program.
8) Try to get an evening part-time job on campus or full-time job off campus (whichever comes first). Keep searching until I find one. Be persistent & don’t give up.
9) Buy & learn how to play the musical keyboard.
10) Write fiction, poetry & plays.
11) Regulate my sleep time & get up when the alarm goes off.
12) Learn a new language or 2, or even 3. Keep up with my Spanish & refresh my Spanish & English knowledge.
13) Even though it may be hard, try not to let people upset me.
14) Practice the GRE & take the test before the Spring semester is over.
15) In April, start looking for jobs & housing in California. Plan better than I did with New York. As soon after July as possible, enroll in the Cal. State Extended Education program.
16) In January, inquire AGAIN about the Monterey Institute & see what my options are. Try to see if I still have the chance to get in. Maybe see if they’ll either accept my GPA or allow me to take extra courses.
17) Try to get a used or new car 2003 or newer IF & ONLY IF I successfully obtain & keep a job.
18) Avoid confrontations/arguments/fights with people. Walk away & don’t fuss back when people bully or harass me.
19) Go out more & get fresh air. Go window shopping @ the mall or Dollar Tree, but bring like only $10-20 cash with me.
20) Stick to these resolutions as best as I can & try to have more hope & motivation in life. Be persistent & don’t give up. If I get stuck, I know I have Kristina, my counselor, & my case manager to count on. Be healthier & happier.
BONUS: Take a relaxing vacation either to NYC or Florida & the Dominican Republic with Kristina.
