Day 29 - Hopes, Dreams and Plans for the Next 365 Days

So close to the end of this thing! I like how it's taken me the whole summer to do it, not just 30 days. Oh well.

So hopes, dreams, and plans. Hmmm. I hope/dream/plan to:

• Make new friends at school, especially freshmen, but also remain just as close to my friends from last year.
• Also stay close to my high school friends, as we have this year.
• Travel! Road trips, plane rides, whatever. See new places.
• Have an awesome Customs experience the second time around. Be a good CP, avoid horrible conflicts/issues or at least deal with them reasonably well, be a good mentor and supporter to my freshmen while also being friends with them and having a fairly close, fun hall, learn from my freshmen and Customs experience and hopefully they'll learn from me too, have awesome discussions during PAFs etc, maintain a close customs team with good communication and teamwork.
• Something in the dating/relationship realm? Maybe? Just sayin'...
• Improve the whole home situation, or at least maintain the improvements from this past year.
• Finalize my major/minor (Psych/Spanish?) and study abroad plans (Argentina!!!), and be happy with my decision.
• Figure out my summer plans.
• Take interesting classes that I enjoy, learn a ton, share my knowledge, not get too stressed out, gain a clearer idea of what my interests are, fulfill more requirements, get grades I'm happy with.
• Have Bryn Mawr lunches MWF first semester with Fairleigh, Alex, and Josh!
• Finish up my PE requirement.
• Go to the gym more. For real. This needs to happen.
• Find more things to ramble about so I can keep this blog going.
• Maintain balance in my life between academics, customs, friends, all my other activities, maybe a job, and general free time; keep a firm grip on my sanity and not let my stress levels get too high.
• Avoid too much drama.
• Not spend too much money.
• Do everything in moderation.
• Be just as happy with myself and my life at the end of it as I am now, if not more so.
• Do fun things over breaks, including visiting people at school and something else that's fun or at least relaxing over spring break.
• Visit Sarah at Hamilton at some point during the year.
• Get a job during the year.
• Work with the CDO to figure out winter break/June internships or jobs in a field I'm actually interested in - psychology or non-profits, or something else I/we come up with.
• Continue to be there for my friends.
• Do lots of things that make me happy.
• Do lots of things that make others happy.
• Have an awsome year!

Edit: inspired by Aubree's facebook note, i'm adding some fun, more Haver-specific things to this list. i think i was in a serious mood when i wrote what's above. (and anyway, copying is the highest form of flattery, right? :P) so here are some more:

• Lots of stargazing, with everyone. also the daytime equivalent which is laying out on Gummere and Founders greens
• Taking more sunset pictures with Hannah
• Run a kick-ass group with Abby! (step 1...become a real club. *cough Jason McGraw answer my email cough*)
• Late-night trips to Wawa; pints of ice cream may be consumed
• eating too many fries at the Coop
• Adventures in Philly! more eating at Sansom Kabob
• 3/2, 3rd section, and customs cousin adventures! which will hopefully involve philly, food, and fun
• Run away to cook/bake/do work in Alex, Jake, and Alec's apartment. home-made confections are a must.
• Movie nights with Fairleigh and Emily and Alex and Josh anyone else who wants to join
• watching more 30 Rock and The Office and Fringe late at night with Fairleigh and Alex
• avoiding getting the stomach flu and/or swine flu
• creating more delicious DC concoctions
• baking pie at Swat with Hilary and Erica
• lots of tri-co visiting in general
• eating at Panera and that diner, which are driving distance but too far to walk
• other adventures with my car! (who's up for road trips? driving to the beach? anything along similar lines?)
• founders dances!!! which will inevitably include some crazy outfits

omg i smell bacon cooking downstairs...gotta run! :P i'll add more as i think of them.
