How is it already August?!? This summer seriously flew by. I’m not ready to go back to school and start classes again. It feels like summer literally just started! I’ve been nannying in Southampton all summer, and will head back home in about a week. I’ll have the long weekend at home to recharge and pack, then move back into school a couple days later. August is kind of a weird month because it’s half summer, half school, and it’s filled with a big change of routines and settling into the school environment again. I honestly haven’t been super motivated or inspired, like I usually am at the start of a new month. Writing these goals helped me get a little more inspired, and I hope it’s a good month ahead!

Overall, I want August to be a fun month will low stress. I tend to overthink and get overwhelmed with small things, and I want to enjoy each day and have fun! I’ll start my senior year of college and want to soak up every moment and enjoy time with friends. What’s your number one goal for August?
