Long Term goals

Personal: Stop arguing with my mother. I will reach this goal by starting to listen to her, acknowledge her existence and I will do what I'm told when I'm told to do it. I'll know when I reach my goal because she and I won't be fighting with her constantly and I won't be grounded as often. I need advice from other people to help me. I want to achieve it by the time I'm 18...so...June 27, 2020.

Academic: Learn some new note-taking strategies. To do this, I'll need the internet, time and the motivation to do the research required. My goal will be complete because I'll be able to change how I take notes depending on the class. The easier and quicker I can take notes, (hopefully) the better I can do on test and stuff which is obviously a good thing, as I feel like I'm failing classes. I don't think I'll need any extra help. I want to complete this by June 27, 2020.

Personal: Develop the motivation to get a job...and get that job that I (theoretically) have the motivation for. As much as I love suckering money out of my parents, there will come a time when I can't do that (which I'm not happy about, mind you) and unfortunately, at some point in my life, I'll need to take care of myself for a change. Bummer. Chances are I won't start working on this until I have more self control and discipline but I'll get there eventually. If the control and discipline part doesn't help or drive me to want to complete this, then I'm just going to have to deal with it, arn't I? Since I'm too young for anything I want to do this will probably end up happening when I'm older...by a few years...hopefully it'll be completed by the time I'm 18.

Personal and Academic (Is this even possible?): Learn self-control and self-discipline. I would like for this goal to be completed as soon as possible, but right now, it'll take longer than hoped for even with help. This is an academic and personal goal because I need control to stop biting my nails (and other nasty habits I have developed in the few years I've been a teen) and I need discipline to force myself to not do things or do things, depending on the situation.

Another personal and academic goal: Jeez, Kahla, what are you thinking?! Yeah, I know, anyway I want to finish writing a piece. When I write, I'll start something, get bored, then leave it for a while, then I have an assignment or I'm bored out of mind so I'll take a piece that I left four years ago, re-write, get bored, leave it, and repeating. So, I want to FINISH a piece. As in have an ending. Not just, "She sat there and wai". Yep, found that as the last (not even complete) sentence. Never wanted to look at it again, tbh. Again, probably by the time I'm 18 unless I choose to write a story and it continues on for the rest of my life...or I need to write multiple books...then it would be until I die. Wow, look at me, I'm just a ray of sunshine. x_x
