Man....I must have been really tired or something at 9:30 tonight. Here I am 6 hours later and I realized not all things are going to stay the same this year when it comes to friendships and whatsoever. It's like that Jadakiss song "He's phony, she's fake, that's the type of people I hate".
This is no stab at anyone in particular but if just something ain't cool between us anymore then you can let me know before just saying "aight peace" lol. It's not a big deal but it is best suggested to imply some closure to a former friendship instead of being petty online. God knows what's best for me, so I will be okay.
Which leads me to my title "My Goals for this Year".
My goals for this year are just simply put...
1) Believe in Myself. To simply put, I feel at times self vulnerable whenever it comes to things that seem like an obstacle for me. I need to stay positive this year and not let anyone tell me otherwise. If I make a mistake, then I will learn from it the good way or the bad way. I know it isn't a big deal but self believability is the only way to find your inner happiness within yourself, thus extracting your confidence.
2) Be a good friend. Because I already know I am a good family member, being a good friend is basically the rocky part of any type of setting you are in. My mission is not to surround myself with people who aren't really interested in being friends with me (example being...high school). I feel like college has given me a second chance at this instance and so far I have a good handful of friends and now my mission is just to be a good one back to them when they are to me. Along the way I plan to meet some new friends too.
3) Stay Healthy. I am going to listen to my mom this year when she calls me to tell me to "Wear 3 layers of shirts" when it is winter season lol. But on the real, just take my vitamins during the day, get my rest at night, HAVE breakfast weekly, and resist any fighting whatsoever. When you take your vitamins before you start school, you build up your immune system and minimize STRESS which causes you to be sick. I am getting back into my sleeping hours now and even if I have an afternoon class the next day, I will still fall asleep around 11 or 12 nightly like i did in high school lol. I am going to begin to eat my breakfast every morning before 9 so I can get my nutrients to process during the day (I learned that I produce better grades when I eat breakfast). My mission at school is not to fight anyone by any means that's why I say I am a "lover not a fighter" lol but If I am threatened or am hit first, I will defend myself.
4) Avoid Drama. The one thing I do not want or need in my college life. I had some of it last year but that was just plain bullshit so I dont play to be involved with it this year. If I sense something is up, I will just separate myself from the situation before it gets worse. Unfortunately I cannot wish for this to happen but just staying keen and ready is all I would need to do.
5) Step Out the Box. At times I feel like I am just another person in the crowd when it comes to social gatherings. This isn't a bad thing but it isn't a good thing either. I tend to be more independent when I am at home...now it is time for me to do that at school. Ladies will get to know Chris I. Summers, and not DJ iShine (like his boys do lol). I will rekindle my relationship with ACRN and get to know some cats in that organization and not stay that close to HHC/HHS. I know Je'an P and Russell (my bros) are holding down Hip Hop Shop this year, but I know as a solo act I can be more than just a 10 minute open mic act. I will be lining up some shows at school independently, with Money Mike. I have been talking with my boy James Anderson and Daron about trying to do some house shows too. I have to go out there and chase the dream, it's no fun if it comes to me.
It's almost 4 o'clock and I am going to head back to bed because I have a workout tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed reading this and have a better impression of me and my plans for the upcoming year
