If goals feel vague or overwhelming, SMART goals can help — especially in college.
SMART goals are:
• Specific: Clear enough to know exactly what to do
• Measurable: You can track progress (not just effort)
• Achievable: Realistic for this semester
• Relevant: Connected to your academic or personal priorities
• Time-bound: Built around due dates, exams, or check-ins
SMART goals reduce last-minute stress by turning “I should” into a clear plan.
Challenge yourself to create clear, smart goals to guide your semester success.
