Well, now that we are officially halfway through the year, I think it’s time to take another look at my 2015 Goals List and see how much, or little, progress I have made.  I can tell you right now that I haven’t made too much progress with it.  Of course I’m a bit disappointed that I haven’t been more proactive in getting these goals done, but at the same time, some of the goals are ones that take some time.  In any case, let’s take a look at my progress!

1 // Graduate from college – Completed May 16th.

As you all know from my post, Class of 2015… We Did It!, I graduated from college after a long 5 1/2 years of blood, sweat, hand cramps, and tears (and yes, all these occurred).

2 // Get a job in the field I love – In progress.

Though I am currently working as a freelance/contract videographer for the same company I interned with my last semester, I can’t say it’s my dream job.  Though freelancing is a part of it, I was thinking more sports/wedding freelance while also working in a television studio – that my friends, is my dream.  So I’m applying to the local stations and praying that God will lead me to right one.

3 // Eat somewhat healthier – Not complete.

It’s hard to say if I can really complete this one or not.  Let’s just say life is a little hectic right now and I don’t think I can really get focused on this one until after the move in September… but I guess even just adding a few more fruits and veggies into my diet would count, right?

4 // Complete another Goodreads Challenge – In progress.

I’m slowly, but surely getting there.  I wanted to read at least one book per month, but you know, life happened and I got of track.  But now that I have some extra free time I’m hoping to make it up and maybe even complete this one sooner than I planned.

5 // Get into the habit of journal writing – In progress.

I have an app called Day One for my Macbook and iPhone that acts as a journal.  While I don’t write daily, or even weekly, I get into these spurts of writing in that journal.  However, this past weekend has been an eye opener to me that I really need to start a journal and I will be making this a regular habit in my life.

6 // Do a home study on at least one book of the Bible – In progress.

I just started a Bible study on the book of James and after just two lessons I know it’s going to be a good one.  I knew this one wasn’t going to happen until after I was done with college… so I can expect this to be done sometime this summer.

7 // Donate money to an organization/cause – Not complete.

I really need to research where I want to donate some money to… not that I need to do that much research – it’s more like, just pick a place!  Ha!

8 // Mail a handwritten letter to someone – Completed June 6th.

I actually did this one!  I sent a handwritten letter to my best friend a few weeks ago and she told me she really loved it.  Oh, and get this… she got it on the day known as National Best Friend Day!  How perfect!

9 // Start a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly feature on my blog – In progress.

I’d categorize this as “in progress” because I do have the Blogger Love posts I participate in each Friday, however I am still hoping to implement my own original feature on this blog by the end of the year.

 

So, that’s it.  I guess I’m not doing as bad, considering some of the tasks do take some time to complete.  Of course as some happen I will update in a post.  And you can bet there will be one at the end of the year to see how I did as well as set some new goals for the new year.

On another note, I crossed off an item on my 25 Before 25 list!  I got another piercing on my right ear!

By the way, did you know you can already buy 2016 calendars/planners?  I just saw some at Barnes and Noble the other day and I found it funny – I mean, it’s still six months away!
