So after much reflection I've come up with 3 goals for the month of November:
1. Read 2 books - This has more to do with practicality than anything else. The book I've been waiting on since August is finally ready for me at the library. I only get it for 2 weeks to I absolutely must finish it. Then I already have one book checked out that I've had to renew once. If I don't finish it before the end of the month I'll have renewed it so many times it'll just be embarrassing.
2. Land a job or an internship for the spring/take the GRE - Landing a real job has been my goal since, oh May 15. This month is really getting to crunch time. In order to get all my applications in for Grad School I absolutely must take the GRE this month. The only way I won't have to do that is if I'm hired full time somewhere.
3. Be more thankful for the little things - November is the month of thanks so some form of this is on everyone's list it seems like. Lately I've been finding myself jealous of the success of other's, something that just isn't right or healthy. Yesterday was really a tipping point for myself, that made me pause and take a long look on my behavior. A girl I graduated from Ole Miss with posted all over social media that she had accepted her "dream job" in a city where I'd very much like to live. We both graduated with journalism degrees with the public relations specialization, so I assumed she was looking for the same type of job I am. When I saw her posts I was completely overcome with hate and jealousy for this girl, who I really don't even know well. How could she have managed to snag a job when I've been searching and repeatedly been told by firms that they weren't hiring for entry level. Well yesterday I was creeping on her
What are your goals for the month? Any tips on coming up with monthly goals?
