The start of a new chapter: 2026

  College Life Begins 

Goals

This year will probably the start of the biggest turning point of my life. In order to be prepared I have to set my goals straight and steady. Firstly, I need to be physically and mentally prepared. This upcoming year I plan on going to the gym to exercise and I plan to eat more healthy food. I plan on taking a break I deserve before college so that my mind would be able to rest and to not get stressed out. Managing both physical and mental health might be tricky but with the right plan and managing time properly, its possible. I want to continue improving my self-growth through journaling, reflection, and mindful habits.

Next, I would set my mind to be addicted on studying. They say that college is not something to be messed around. This upcoming year I plan to learn coding, programming and the basics of computer. As a future Computer Engineering student, I want to pursue my dreams to become a software developer and learn with passion and determination. Technology has become a powerful tool for everyday uses, it is time to learn and be innovative about it and create technologies that could potentially help the future too. I'm willing to face the hardship of 2026 and I will get through it with success.

Why?

2026 will mark a major transition of my life. These goals are not just list of dreams but a list of the future. These will be the first step of my career. This year is not just another year for me but a new year of change. Taking this year seriously will lead me to success. I want to become someone who is academically focused but emotionally grounded and creatively fulfilled. 

How?

I will set schedules of practice and rest. I will follow a realistic weekly routine and practice time management to avoid academic overload and burnout. I will focus on progress and productivity rather than perfection, allowing me to succeed will maintaining my emotional
well-being.

Motivation


What motivates me are the things I love doing. Just like in my vision board I'm captivated to work on computer-related stuff. It excites me to learn things that are complex and requires problem-solving skills. Growth motivates me to become better than yesterday. Learning new things is something I am motivated about. It brings joy and satisfaction to keep learning something new. Trying something new, expressing it through drawing, writing or even typing is relaxing and engaging. Productivity and engagement is a perfect combination that motivates me to work even harder to achieve these goals.
