18 Things I Learned my 1st Semester in College



1. Breakfast is by far the best meal at the dining hall

 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and when I get to eat breakfast with some of my closest friends every Tuesday and Thursday. It is such an awesome way to start the day... and the waffles are also pretty good.


2. Roommates are a wonderful thing

 It is so awesome to have people around who care about you. They even text to find out where you are when they haven't seen you all day.


3. Best Friends are the ones that your texts say: "On my way", "Here", " Where are you", "Come Over"

 I love my friends who I can just text them and be like what are you doing and they say nothing and then you go okay, I'm coming over.

 4. Sometimes blowing off your homework to watch and celebrate the Royals winning the World Series, is worth it

 By far- one of the best and coolest experiences of my life. I stormed Mass street, got to dance to bar band, listened to Royals all night long, and go the last slice of Wheel Pizza.







5. Best dance party songs of this semester include: White Iverson, $ave Dat Money, 679, Hotline Bling, Uma Thurman, Jordan Belfort, Hit the Quan, and No Interruption

 Enough said.

 6. It's okay to say no

 People will not hate you if you say that you are not able to do somethings, or if you don't want to do something.

 7. True friends are the ones who pick you up when you're crying or upset and get McDonalds or pizza with you

 I can honestly say that I have some of the best friends in the entire world, they always pick me up when I'm down.
8. People are really inefficient travelers

 People overpack for going out of town for two days and then at the airport, they will pick the most round about way to get to their gate.

 9. Walking 10,000 steps a day really makes you feel accomplished

 When my Fitbit buzzes and lets me know that I've hit my 10,000 steps, I just feel like I have my life together and it's such a magical thing. Many people will not understand this... until they try it.

 10. Sleepovers are sometimes the best things, even when you have to wake up early

 Some of my best memories of this semester come from sleepovers and I wouldn't give them up even for a couple extra hours of sleep.

 11. I actually really love sports

 All through my life thus far I was like "eh, sports aren't really my thing" but now, I love sports so much. I would have to say my favorite sport is basketball, it doesn't matter if it's men or women playing, I really love basketball. I also love the traditions and rituals that come with the sports and how cool it is to see everyone united.



12. If the fur ain't flying, you ain't trying

 Always try your hardest in everything you do, it really pays off and people notice your hard work, but don't forget to have fun while you're at it.

 13. No one gets to tell you how to live your life

 This is your life, and if someone else is trying to tell you how to live it, tell them no. If you want to stay up all night, do it. If you want to skip class to go to the Royals parade, do it. Don't let other people control your happiness.

 14. Always carry a snack with you

 You never know when you will get hungry, especially at 2am.

 15. Car Rides and Adventures are the best bonding experiences
I can not tell you one time where I did not bond with someone on a car ride or an adventure. These are some of the greatest things.


16. Being a DD is sometimes fun, especially when you have an awesome Co- Pilot

 Your co-pilot really helps make the other passengers happy by killing the aux cord game.

 17. When you do a Chinese fire drill, only run around the car once

 Otherwise the light will change and you'll be running while cars are moving... by yourself.

 18. Birds of a feather FLOCK together

 You will meet people who will be your people and it is wonderful to have people who understand you and who are as crazy as you are.

Confessions of a Fur Baby Mama

This post is in memory of Fidel Ballesters. I know that I said that I would be writing every week, and then I disappeared out of the blue. I promise that is was for a good reason. I was asked to write a post about how I have raised my dog- Lola. Dogs have a special place in many peoples’ hearts. They are known as “man’s best friend” and are always happy to see you. You are their hero and they can fix a bad day with a few kisses on the face.  My dog is a teacup schnauzer named Lola- named after the Barry Manilow song- Copacabana. She is 2 years old and has a feisty big dog personality in a 10 lb. body. I got Lola when she was 12 weeks old from a breeder in Missouri. I know that a lot of people have problems with breeders because there many dogs without homes and in shelters- but I really wanted a schnauzer puppy, and this was the best way for me to know what I was getting. I had done a lot of research before about how to raise dogs and what I wanted Lol...

Lion City

Something about my family is that we love to travel. This winter break we decided to take the trip that we have been wanting and planning to take for 12 years. In my 18 years of life- I have never gone sight seeing in India and so we decided to take the trip. To start our journey off we start in Singapore. A very famous figure in Singapore is a Merlion. A Merlion is a combination of a lion and a fish. Singapore used to be called Singapora before a king went hunting and thought that he saw a lion and decided to rename the country to Singapore, which means lion city. The tail represents the fact that Singapore used to be primarily used for fishing. This Merlion has become a national figure for the country of Singapore, and a very famous tourist sight... which meant that we had to check it out! Another very famous part of Singapore is called Little India. I bet you are wondering why there is Little India in Singapore? That is because when the British were trying t...

A Look Back on 2018

As 2018 is coming to an end, I have decided for the new year that one of my goals is to start blogging. I know I have written sporadic blogs in the past, but this time, I will release a new blog post every Tuesday. It will either be a written post like this or a video.  However, before I can start talking about new things, I guess I should catch you up on what has happened in my life this past year. 2018 was a big year for me. Some I am going to share some of my favorite highlights of the year.  January:  I celebrated New Years in Colorado with one of my favorite people.   I turned 21 with my best friend. We even went to Vegas with our Dads to celebrate being 21. And then we had a blast celebrating with our friends.   February: We said goodbye to our family dog of 15 years. I went on a Cabin Trip and made a new friend. I celebrated Valentines Day with some of the people I love most... Baby Jay and Hans. Ma...
