When I was younger, I used to say fall was my favorite season. Don’t get me wrong, fall still has a very special place in my heart, but there's something about summer I just love. It could be the nice break from school, or all the warm weather activities there are to do.

Finals are right around the corner and the school year is about to end. For many people, including me, finals can be a very stressful time. I have some strategies that help me de-stress before and after my finals.Getting good grades is something that almost every person, whether they are in High School or in College, has to worry about.

One of my biggest struggles growing up was knowing who I was. I knew my mom is American, with blonde hair and blue eyes. My dad is Mexican, with black hair and brown eyes. And people always said I took after him.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Literally, you see it almost everywhere you go. In fact, some stores begin advertising as soon as late December. To some, this is great, because why wouldn’t you want an extra 1-2 months to prepare?

At the beginning of every year many people reflect on how the year went, what they did, what they didn’t do. Based on these reflections, many determine whether the last year was good or not. A common ritual people practice is to set “new year's resolutions.” The only trouble with setting yearly goals is that it can be very easy to break these promises. Some of these broken commitments include eating healthier and exercising, and who can blame them when running is practically torture and cheeseburgers taste pretty good ?

School was never something I had any specific thoughts or feelings about; it was just something I did. I knew it was important for the future: college, career, happy life, and so on. But that was it, just a means to an end, something I had to complete before I got to my actual goal of becoming an adult.

When I was younger, I thought the way people's brains worked was interesting. I loved learning about why someone might act or be a certain way. If I’m being honest, I've probably taken every personality test out there. My obsession with learning about people's personalities would eventually turn into me taking psychology classes and wanting to pursue that as a career.
