This year was definitely one that taught me several things and has been a ride!

For starters, I graduated from high school! That was one of the best days of my life! Just being able to say that I accomplished a major milestone in my lifetime was incredible. To see everyone you'd grown up with share those memories and special moments together made it even better. Just to see that all of those sleepless nights and mountains of homework went to good use was everything I could ever ask for.

This year I also turned 18! Which means I can finally vote when the time comes, and I am already registered, and that's pretty much it. I am technically an adult which means my childhood ended already but I still consider myself a kid. I am the baby of the family after all.

This year was my first year of college, and let me just tell you that college is a lot of things that high school wasn't. College is three free zone where you get to choose when and where your classes can be, you can bring food to class, play your own music and so much more. Obviously since it is so expensive they always have free events for all the students to attend where you can get free shirts, free food, and other free stuff. On top of that you get to meet so many new people and make new amazing friendships. But it's not so lighthearted and easy. The content, partially, is more challenging and more drastic to your GPA. There's going to be a lot of quizzes, midterm, reviews, finals, and so much more.

This year was also my one year mark at my second job. I've been working at American Eagle for over a year now, and honestly I've loved working with so many bright and young people! It's been the best working there!

This year I went on my first road trip with my close friends. We went to six Flags and Disneyland! I loved every moment of it because we got to bond like never before.

My dad also because a United States citizen this year! He has come so far and he deserves it so much! I am so proud of him and he will always amaze me.

Thank you 2019, it's been a blast! 2020, here I come

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
