The time has come: dorm rooms are decorated, classes are in full swing, and campus clubs are getting back up and running. Who needs New Years to make goals? A new semester is the perfect excuse to focus on making some changes in your life and work on keeping yourself accountable.
This is my 3rd semester doing this, and each time I am surprised at how far I have come in such a little time!
There are 15 weeks in a semester at my University, so I’ve decided to make 15 Goals for 15 Weeks! Here they are:
By the end of the Fall 2015 Semester I want to…
1. Save $1,000 in my savings account.
2. Get at least a B in every class. (Bonus points if I go beyond that and make The Dean’s List!)
3. Not miss any deadlines for my Her Campus Chapter.
4. Double my traffic on this blog. Go big or go home, why not? (Right now I am at 100,000 views per month. I would like to double that to 200,000 though I would be way happy if I even got half that far!)
5. Go to the gym or workout classes at least once week. (I have some health problems that make this incredibly difficult for me.. as well as a crazy busy schedule!)
6. Find a good place on campus to help me do work, avoid procrastination, and focus that isn’t my dorm room.
7. Work at least one theatrical show and have it not make my grades suffer.
8. Post on this blog at least 8 times each month.
9. Not spend over $150 a month on food.
10. Grow my Her Campus Chapter followers by at least 100 on each social media platform (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest!)
11. Officially declare my major and minor.
12. Get a passport.
13. Overall feel more well rested and energized.
14. Go someplace I’ve never been before. (Seriously, anywhere!)
15. Schedule in some “me” time. (shoutout to my friend Nikki for coming up with that one!)
What are your goals for the next few weeks?
Good for you in setting goals! The fall is a great time to start over, so to speak, even for those of us who are long out of school! Good luck!
Super similar to my 101 in 1,001 list! Best of luck in accomplishing your goals!
This inspired me to make my own goals for this semester! Especially since it’s my last before I graduate. Loved yours!
Aww I’m so glad that this inspired you!!! I just read your 8 goals, great ones! (Especially the exploring SoCal one.. I live there as well and there’s some great places you need to check out! I recommend ‘The Last Bookstore’ in LA!)
These are wonderful goals! I feel like I have to make daily goals and lists just to get through life!
I totally get that! My to-do lists and planners are my mini daily goals.. definitely helps to keep me focused 🙂
These are all really great goals! I hope you reach each and every one of them. Good luck this semester!

Thank you! Check back in 15 weeks to see if I do 🙂
Dani these are some greats goals. One of my goals right now is to update my new blog at least a couple times a month.
Thanks! That’s a great goal to have 🙂 I believe you can do it!
Great goals for the semester. I hope you are able to achieve them all.
Thank you! I hope I am able to as well! Check back in 15 weeks for my results 🙂
I love the goals! I need to come up with a list of goals for myself.
Awesome goals! I wish you lots of success in the coming semester! My goals for the new season are business related and working on my photography skills with some online courses.
I love how you set goals for every semester—so much so that I’ve started doing the same! Thanks for this inspiring post! 🙂
