Honorable Mention, Life as a Vet Student
Christopher Reeves, Auburn
For this edition's "Life as a Vet Student" category, The Vet Gazette asked readers, "As we begin another year, what resolutions are you making, and how successful do you think you’ll be at keeping them?" Here is how one student answered:
New Year’s resolutions in the past for me have had abysmal results at best. Last year I figured I would trick myself by making an, “I won’t keep my New Year’s resolution” resolution, and that was probably the best one kept in my life! But this year I believe will be different. Not because I feel like I have more self-control, will-power, or bullheadedness, but because I discovered a new tool over the summer break that made my impact on my school the best yet last semester: LISTS!
I rediscovered regular old “To Do” lists, but this time with a new age twist. I’ve tried these in the past with limited success. For short term (day or two) projects they work wonderfully to keep me on track and keep my mind organized. However for long term goals and projects, I just ended up losing them! What is the point of a list if you can’t find it or you lose it? So what is different this time? Computer desktop post-it notes!
