Important Dates and Deadlines:

The following is a schedule of suggestions and guidelines for the next few months.

Although changes in schedule may occur, it is crucial to make adjustments as to how

to get back on track to achieve your future goals!

June

Take this month to reorganize your living space. It is time to actually begin to unpack those suitcases

from college and do some summer cleaning and organizing! After cleaning the closet, start deleting

documents and files on your computer that aren’t current. Cleaning up your life will certainly

create space for new beginnings!

July

Take a mini trip. This is the month to be spontaneous! Take an

inexpensive road trip somewhere you have never been before, try

different kinds of food, and meet new people.

August

Challenge yourself this month. Set short term goals; try a new sport or activity! Try to do a 10 mile

run by the end of the summer, but don’t run away from other important goals.

September

Congratulations you made it through the summer. Hopefully you are employed or

working hard on the job search. Either way, you are on your way to a lifetime full of

opportunities to making your dreams come true!
