Ask two of you fellow students to give you a reason to set goals. Put those reasons in your notes.
Areas
To help you think about goals that you might want to set, lets divide your life into different AREAS and think about what you want for that area.

Goals
Write them down makes them more concrete- gives you different perspective
Once you have your goals (and your sub goals) you need to figure out how you are going to be able to accomplish these goals. You want to be as specific as possible in order to achieve your objective of achieving each of the sub goals and the ultimate goals.
While you want your goals to be attainable, its also important to have a long term BHAG. This is something that is out there, something that quite possibly might not be attainable but something that you would really like to accomplish long term. An example would be setting as your BHAG to be to make the national team by the time you are 24. While this might be something that is possible, it most likely is something that is really a push to ever accomplish but as long as you are working toward your BHAG you will most likely be successful.
