Last year I realized that eating healthy can be expensive - especially when I'm eating out. I'm planning on doing some meal prep, like the stuff that constantly pops up on my Instagram explore page.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Develop a system for school-work. Reflecting on my organizational choices from last year, I want to optimize the way I handle my notes, assignments, and studying material.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/08\/fairly-odd-parents-A-plus.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35192\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/08\/fairly-odd-parents-A-plus.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" \/><\/a>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Get a new TCARD. Mine stopped working for whatever reason - looks like I'm due for a visit at the <a href=\"http:\/\/tcard.utoronto.ca\/\">TCARD Services<\/a>\u00a0.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Start scoping out where to buy books. I usually get mine from the <a href=\"https:\/\/uoftbookstore.com\/\">Bookstore<\/a>, or buy them used (which is usually much cheaper).<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Fill in my planner. I've begun noting down upcoming events, commitments, and classes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Make a list of things I want to do both on and off-campus<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Write up new fitness and wellness routines. I want to start incorporating weight-lifting in my workouts this year. I also want to establish a wellness routine that includes skincare, makeup, and spending time with friends.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/08\/prison-break-my-plan-will-work.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35194\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca\/lifeatuoft\/files\/2018\/08\/prison-break-my-plan-will-work.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Set <strong>realistic<\/strong> academic goals. I do this by evaluating my course load, projected time commitments, and the types of courses I\u2019m taking. I usually visit my academic adviser to think through my academic year.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Get in touch with friends. Make more friends in classes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Go to the beach. Sit on a hammock. Have a sangria.
