(I am going to try and revamp my website over the next couple of weeks so bear with me as I clean it up. :))
Okay, so this is my very rough board. I chose some things about nature and travel because two of my big goals are to travel this summer and spend more time in nature whenever I can. Even I feel unmotivated to do so. I also put the friends cast on there because I really like the idea of having a group of friends that you can come to for anything and do anything with. I want to really solidify and strengthen my current relationships. I have so many lovely friends who are creative and talented and adventurous and I eagerly want to spend more time with them. (Covid and school and the snow have made that tricky in the recent weeks. I miss them dearly.) I put some dogs on there because anyone who knows me knows I. Love. Dogs. I want to spend more time with my pup.
The books and the paint palette represent my yearning to do more of both of those things. I think reading is relaxing and productive and it makes me feel nice so I have a goal to read more this year. I’m also an artist. It has taken me a while to consider myself one and think of myself as such but I finally have started recognizing that that’s what I am, that’s what I love to do! I have been feeling really unmotivated to create and I think I am starting to leave the rut I was stuck in.
Lastly, I have a random outfit I found. I think that clothing, for me personally, is really important. The way I dress directly affects my mood and vise versa. For example, if I am feeling bad I might opt for sweat pants and a T-shirt. But sometimes if I am feeling bad I will put on an outfit that makes me feel good about myself/body. I would like to find and work on my own style even more than I already have. I love the idea of upcycling clothes and making them into completely new items. I want to make my wardrobe original and make it so it reflects me and how I view myself.
An entrepreneur to me is someone who finds creative original solutions to problems they encounter. I am not sure what my role in it is. I think my current role would be a student. I am learning about entrepreneurship and how it can become a part of my life. So far it is helping me figure out who I am and what I want from myself and the world. I think in the future I will be able to call myself an entrepreneur and feel like one too. I think I have a lot more to learn and do before I feel like I can call myself one. At least for myself personally. I am an entrepreneur in training!
Hey Sophie,
Super awesome vision board! I love the idea of strengthening current relationships – those who you are closest to will always be of support and enjoyment in your everyday life. Three to five strong friends is much healthier than 10-20 acquaintances who you cannot truly connect with. I am excited to see what this quarter holds!

Hey Sophie!
I loved reading what you wrote about your vision board. I also want to spend more time in nature, I think that is always a good goal. Especially when we live in such a beautiful place with so many cool places to go. I think it’s awesome that you are considering yourself an artist! I totally understand how it can be a mental process to realize that. I also love clothing and think it is so important and has a huge impact on how I feel. I’m thrilled to be in your traction group this quarter and I agree that we’re gonna rock VP1!

Hi Sophie! Loved your vision board and all the self reflection in your write up. It is really inspiring to hear you talk about the steps to considering yourself an artist, I’ve had this same journey (or my version of it). For some reason it takes awhile to feel like it is okay to give yourself that label which is strange since so many things can be considered art and creativity isn’t something you have to prove so I totally understand where you’re coming from. I would also consider myself an artist and have been experiencing a creative rut as well, I think school can make creativity difficult which is such a bummer. I enjoyed reading about all your passions, you have great energy, keep up the good work!
