New year’s Goals

I don’t really believe in new year’s resolutions. They only last the first week and then you give up, live your everyday life exactly as you did in the past and wait another year to then make the same new year’s resolutions again. What I do believe in are goals. Specific and different goals you can overcome or even only dream of but with one purpose; to make every day better then the last one. If you know exactly what to work for because it interests you it’s easier to wake up in the morning, stay motivated in the stressed situations and push yourself further.  

I only have 7 months left at SCA so I want those 7 months to be the wildest, toughest, funniest and most educational month before I jump back into “the real world”. Here are my goals:
