Descubriendo una vida mejor: julio 2...

Many people believe that in order for you to become a better writer, you must first master the creativity that comes with being a writer. The creativity of writing such compelling stories or articles, dishing out materials left and right without breaking a sweat. The best thing you could do for yourself as a writer is to set aside a few minutes each day to practice, though we all know it isn’t always that simple when it really comes down to it. Sometimes it can be truly hard to think about material to write when you have just finished a piece or haven't written a piece in awhile. Here’s a few creative prompts that will help get your imagination boosting with energy when it comes to your next project:

1. How do you feel when you love someone who does not love you back?

2. Write about two people seeing/meeting each other for the first time.

3. Write something inspired by a recent dream/nightmare you had.

4. Use the following words in a piece of writing: feast, fire, modify, squash, robbed, forgotten, under-stated.

5. When we reflect upon our childhood, we often come back to a few key events that had a major impact on us. Talk about one of those defining events from your childhood.

6. Tell the story of a scar, whether it be physical or emotional.

7. If you could see and talk to the dead (ghosts), what would you say to them and why?

8. Look at any picture or a painting, write a story that you believe inspired the photo or painting. Explain what’s going on beyond the painting or photo…

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
