However, I am a football player for Emporia State University and being active is not an option, it's a necessity. 
1.5 MONTH UPDATE I am extremely active with football. If we don't have a 3-hour practice, then we have 6 am morning run and weightlifting session. I am also disc golfing a lot so I'm moving around at least 6 times a week for at least one a day.
3 MONTH UPDATE
With football coming to an end, I have stopped running so much. However, I still work out 3-5 times a week and I have much more time to go disc golfing which I really enjoy. I go disc golfing almost every day. So my activity hasn't really gone down at all, just switched from running a lot to throwing a disc all afternoon.

My main goal is become more open with strangers and to find friends I can call my friends after college. I would also like to be more connected with the friends I already have, as well as to make new ones and be more comfortable talking to strangers in public. I do most of my connecting with my roommate and my friends in class. We often study together and work on class projects. We will also go out every once in a while, on Saturday nights. 
2WEEK: I've actually regressed on this goal. The two friends I did have are now out of the picture and I no longer hang out with anyone. My mental health it starting to crumble, and I can feel it.
1.5 MONTH UPDATE I have started connecting with a lot of new people. I reconnected with old friends from back home. I've made new friends from a party I went to, and I've reconnected with friends from emporia that I did not think I would. 
3 MONTH UPDATE
I now have friends everywhere to be honest. I'm well respected at my workplace and got a raise. IM friends with everyone there and I've made friends with people in my classes. I feel welcome pretty everywhere I go.]]> 2023-01-26 16:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457889691 kadenfields17 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457889912 My goal for learning is with my molecular and cellular biology course. I just took a test and got a 68 on it. I need to learn better studying habits and techniques. 
2WEEK: I talked with the bio professor, and he has helped me study more effectively so hopefully on this next test, I do way better.
1.5 MONTH UPDATE I just took an exam in the same class and got a 74. I was super happy about it because it was the best I had done in the course so far and I had studied all week and studied late the night before and the morning of. I was proud that my work was starting to pay off.
3 MONTH UPDATE
I have learned how to study and to do well. In molecular and cellular biology, the last 3 tests I got a 18/20 a 87% and a 96% on them. My grade has come up and I now have no doubts of passing.]]> 2023-01-26 16:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457889912 kadenfields17 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457890287 I struggle to open up to people and discuss my emotions in a healthy manageable way. This last week has been very hard for me with people walking out of my life and news that I wasn't ready to hear. In the past I try to just ignore my feelings and move past them, but they always come back somehow or someway. So, my goal for this is to find somebody I trust to listen and help me learn to communicate my feelings more effectively than just blowing up metaphorically.
2WEEK: I've actually found a friend who I sat with for 6 hours just talking about everything in our lives and what was wrong, and we gave each other advice. It was refreshing to get some shit off my chest.
1.5 MONTH UPDATE As of right now I've gotten a lot better at being open minded. I'm a very stubborn person but I've learned to look at things from other people's point of view and I often approach situations with a different approach because of this. It has helped me out a lot.
3 MONTH UPDATE 
Me and my old lady split up, it wasn't easy but being able to keep my mind clear and look at the situation really helped in making decisions that hade to be made. Instead of being upset, I thanked her. Not for leaving me, but giving all the good memories I had with her. I thanked her for her family and her dog Daisey, I love that dog. It wasn't easy doing it but not being closed minded and pissed off really helped .]]> 2023-01-26 16:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457890287 kadenfields17 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457890595 I also struggle with this one. Giving is hard for me because I'm selfish, it's human nature. I don't have a whole lot to give to begin with. So, my goal for this is to just give my time, although my time is precious and spread thin, I still need to find time to give to the people that love me. 
2WEEK: I've also failed at this. I picked up a job so now my time is used making money or towards football or classes. I now have zero time to give to anyone I love so now my relationship is now hurting badly and my friendships are in terrible shape.
1.5 MONTH UPDATE I have made my schedule to where I have more time. I give some of my time to me, to do homework and study, or play music which helps my days go a lot easier. I also give my time to my friends, they help me study and we go bowling or disc golfing. 
3 MONTH UPDATE 
As far as time goes. I give a lot to my employer but now that football is over, I give a lot of time to my friends to go disc golfing, we also have picked up ping pong, so if I'm not in my room, we are out in the lobby playing ping pong.]]> 2023-01-26 16:46:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2457890595 kadenfields17 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2459148303 I would like to work on all of my goal at the same time. This might not be the most time efficient, but it will be what is most effective for me.
1.5 MONTH UPDATE My schedule has freed up a little bit so I would like to keep chipping away little by little.]]> 2023-01-27 16:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2459148303 kadenfields17 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2459435083 my active goal this semester is to get a spot on the travel squad roster for football. To elaborate, I want to be good enough that I will be chosen to travel with the team. I don't have to play, just a chance to go with them. 
2WEEK: There hasn't been much chance to change my statis on the team, but I just keep getting stronger every day in the weightroom hoping it'll pay off.  
1.5 MONTH UPDATE I have started to practice with the older guys meaning I am now in the mix and have the chance to put myself exactly where I want to be. My new approach is to just simply take things day by day. Before, I think I was stressing out too much about the big picture.
3 MONTH UPDATE 
I DID IT. I made the bus. It came time for the spring game and I scrimmaged with the big dogs and won. We had our exits meetings at the end of spring ball and my coach said that I made the cut. I get a spot on the bus.]]> 2023-01-27 20:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2459435083 kadenfields17 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2512458278 I haven't really looked too far into my stress, but after watching that video class, I think I've unconsciously changed my point of view. My days have been on average a lot better, and I feel less stressed out. Did it help? I don't know, but I would like to say that it has taken some kind of effect. ]]> 2023-03-11 02:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2512458278 https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2569460106 This has definitely changed my view on children and responsibilities around and outside the house. Do I still want to have kids? Yes, but I think I want to wait until I'm at least way older or at least close to my thirties.]]> 2023-04-26 23:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kadenfields17/Kaden_Fields1/wish/2569460106
