New Month, New You
It’s a new month and we are welcoming October with open arms! Turn the page of your planner and erase your calendar whiteboard to get this month started. Now that the semester is in full swing, it is important to set goals every day. What better time to think about goals than at the start of a new month? Keep reading to find ways to better YOU this month!
Plan Out The Month
If you haven’t already, take the time to plan out what your October will look like. Go through Canvas and be sure to write down any important dates for upcoming assignments, exams, or projects. Don’t forget to write down any social plans too!
Dedicate Time For Yourself Daily
Mental health matters! We encourage you to dedicate at least 10 minutes to yourself each day. Whether you go for a walk, dance to your favorite playlist, or jot down self-affirmations, do whatever makes YOU happy!
Set Realistic Goals
At the start of a new month it can be easy to overwhelm your mind with high expectations and goals that are hard to reach in one short month. It is important to set goals, but make them realistic.
Tip: write out a goal you have for each day; this may not seem like a lot but this will keep you on track!
Visit Professors Office Hours
We encourage you to chat with your professors, teachers assistants, and other faculty members at SSU. They are all here to help YOU, so take advantage of their advice and mentorship this month.
Good Habits = A Good Life
Whether your goal is to drink more water, hit the Rec for a workout a few times a week, or spend less time on your phone, forming a positive habit takes time. Start by taking small steps and before you know it you will form better habits that will lead to better days!
Clean & Declutter
Start the month off right by cleaning out your backpack, vacuuming your room, and going through your closet. This will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for a new month.
Spend Time With People That Make You Happy
Friends who are there to support you, make you laugh, and enhance your life are the best kind! Spend time with the people that make you happy and I promise you will have the best month filled with amazing memories!
Remember that you are never alone, you can do this, and you are awesome! The SL Squad is wishing you the best month and rest of the semester.
