WHAT ARE GOALS:

Goals are the ends toward which we direct our effort. In other words, goals are things we want to achieve, things we aim for as we pursue a certain course of action. Goals are important in college because they help motivate you to do your work, attend classes, and study for exams. Even though you already may have set some goals for the semester, chances are you thought little about whether those goals were realistic.
