I am proud to live in a time where more than ever before, women are celebrated for their strength and determination. I am grateful for my own upbringing; I was raised to appreciate my heritage, to appreciate the gifts I was given and to work hard to achieve my goals.

I love my Hispanic heritage, and I love being a Latina. I love that I don't fit in with the "normal" image of young women, the kind that only do what they are told by others. I love being independent most of all. Even though I have a close knit family, they are supportive enough to let me go after my dreams and not object to that, unlike some other families. My values are already very established for my age, and I attribute that to my family and my culture. I love the family side of the… Continue

So…I’m stuck at home trying to whip out this bronchitis germ…yes it hurts like hell…and bad timing… I got a solo for the musical I am in.

*puts hand to forehead in a fatalistic stare* I’m a tragic cliché! So….it is no longer a six pack of green tea, make it two!

In light of my recent liberation from final exams and my Insomnia, you get treated to another nonsensical rambling blog, which ends abruptly and utterly pointlessly.

I'm my #1 fan...*gulp*



Anyways,(wow I haven't used that since high school)



A week ago or so, a friend whispered into my ear ( i don't know the reason for the whisper...I was chugging down some green tea and… Continue
