You started January hoping for a reset (Straight A's! Stacked extracurriculars! Spectacularly clean room!) and, unsurprisingly, real life (aka tons of HW, last-minute friend hangouts and, yeah, that mountain of dirty laundry) got in the way. But with a refreshed attitude, that tiny post-resolution slump doesn't have to last the entirety of 2023. It's time to lean into your most genuine energy and accomplish your greatest goals...your way.
TAKE CHARGE
Here's your chance to do that one thing you've been dreaming about, well, forever. Whether it's landing an awesome internship or self-publishing the novel you've been polishing, it's up to *you* to act. Seek out people who've paved the way for whatever you want to do by Googling, talking with teachers or asking family friends how they got to where they are. Sure, it can be daunting (So. Much. Info.), but push through the second-guessing. Then, get out there and go for it.
STICK WITH YOUR GOALS
And while you're going for it, know that not everything's going to go your way. But if a door closes on you, who's to say you can't bust right through it? This year, leap over hurdles by staying focused on the big picture. Struggling in biology? Don't nix your med school dreams or vent to your bestie about how unfair Mrs. T is. Instead, set up a meeting with your teacher to talk about your goals and let her know you really want to improve. Bottom line? Whatever problem you face, all it takes is knowing when to ask for help.
