woooo hold up!

Wow. It's already almost a month into the new year. Winter break thru by so freakin fast! Had ana amazing visit with friend and family however it wasn't enough time! I miss my friends and family a lot. Here's a few pics from winter break!!!!

It was really different being back home..... relationships have changed some for the better some for the worse. But hey it's life! I was very excited to come back to the University, i missed my friends here like crazy!!! I honestly consider them my family!!!!! 

The first week back was very unusual, everyone was in a funk including myself. I had a blast catching up with everyone and meeting new people. This is officially our first full week back Monday-Friday, which is going to be painful. Past 2 weeks we haven't had a monday yet! Since the first day 1 have been struggling! School has been ridiculously hard, not because I'm not prepared or not studying hard enough just the course loads. I'm taking 18 credits this semester..... Calculus, Spanish 205, Weather n Climate, Math 196K (help for calc), Business communications, Economics, as well as clubs!!! This semster is sooo much more difficult! But i'm not going to give up - i'm using my resources, trying to work exceptionally hard but sometimes i just can't. I always strive to get straight A'a but this semster i've had to come to the realizations that, that probably isn't going to happen and it's okay..... i wish it wasn't but you can see my schedule!!! Not only have classes been hard but i'm still in a funk, i just can't explain it! But hopefully with time it will go away! My friendships are closer than ever, busier than ever, mkre nervous than ever before, I've been working out at the gym, and trying to balance social life with school work but i'm exhausted all the time! 

Keep me in your prayers - this semester is going to be rough! I have an interview this Wednesday for an RA position and i'm extremely excited for the possibility to become one next year! (Roughly 500 apply and 125 get the position) 

Here's a few pics since semester begun!!! 

Okay well that's a quick update!!! Miss you and love you guys!!!! 

Happy New Year! 🍾

 Wow! I can't believe another year has come and gone! This year has been huge, hit some of the major life markers! However I didn't have any epiphany moments, this year was just okay! Don't get me wrong I've had an amazing year and made some great memories but it was just okay! 

 hmmmm.... Let's see where to begin! I got accepted into the University of Arizona, experienced a real 40+ hour work week, turned 18 (legal adult!), GRADUATED HIGHSCHOOL, and completed my first semester of COLLEGE! Those are just the major accomplishments with many minor ones in between! I will say I have learned more this year than ever before! Not only with growing up, moving away, and becoming more independent but I have become a lot more aware of the world around me. I have been exposed to a lot of "news" this year!  I'm very excited too see where 2018 takes me! I already have some big plans! 

IM ALIVE!!!

Hi guys!!! It's been so long since I've posted and I'm sorry for that! BTW this is going to be a long post! Grab a snack! Time just flew by, since the last time! I came home for a few days to spend Thanksgiving with my family and grandparents! I loved being home but it was a very short visit but I knew I would be back in less than three weeks for Christmas break!
Thanksgiving vacation just flew by; one day I was home and the next I was back on campus! None the less it was a very pleasant visit. I got to spend time with my grandparents, whom I hadn't seen since graduation. Tried to spend as much time with them as possible but it was hard dividing time with parents, siblings, friends and grandparents! We were able to catch up on the latest happenings in the assistance league and grandpa was able to teach me everything I needed to learn about football! Ask away I'm a pro! Grandma gave me a lot of "advice" regarding boys, college, Mexico and much more! Thankgiving dinner was amazing just like usual. My mom and grandma are the best cooks I know!!! We had many laughs throughout our time together which was much needed. I needed to escape the college life for a while, so Thanksgiving was a blessing with just that! During this break was Black Friday and anyone who knows me, knows I love to shop!! Grandma, Mom and I went out at 8 o'clock Thursday nite, dropped grandma back off at home around 11:30 and Mom and I continued our adventures! It was so much fun, we both act like kids when we are together and I'm the embarrassing younger one. Between me walking down the aisles of Walmart with an oversized candy cane, tripping up mom or playing peek-a-boo in the clothing racks at Children's Place or snorting in public because I'm laughing so hard, it was a ball! We returned home around 1:30 AM and I was back out at 8 o'clock with my best friend! Only survived that day with coffee!!!! I will say we did get some good deals but it's more about the experience not the goods we purchased! After I recovered from this day I grabbed even more coffe with some of my closest girlfriends and sat outside the coffee shop for almost 5 hours just talking We were interupted by a phone call from my dad asking if I was heading home because the game was on! During Thankgiving break U of A played our biggest competitors ASU. YUCK! This was one of the biggest games of the year, besides the bowl game we are playing in (Foster Farmers Bowl in Santa Clara, California, December 27th @  5:30 pm PT) !!!!! I tried very hard to make the whole family watch but Sadie and Dawson both lost interest or had better things to do (play with slime and x box)! However, I got the oldies to watch the game! I think I did more screaming while watching the game on TV then I have ever did at a game! Not Really! The guys played really well, just fell short, I was so hurt. I honestly shed a tear or two, no lie! But life goes on!! The next day was the sad day, I'd been waitng for. Filled with saying goodbyes again but it was okay I'd be back in less than a month!!!

The next three weeks were the longest weeks of my life so far!!! Classes ended after a week and a half of being there and it was FINAL EXAM time!!! This semster was probably the easiest classes I will ever have but the hardest for other reasons. I did it!  I made it thru! I am so pleased finals are over, I'm back home and I finally get to relax. Even during Thanksgiving break I was writing papers and doing projects! But now, I'm free!!! Helllooo Vacation! Christmas is here and Mexico is around the corner! Then the entire family can relax, dad will be off the clock for work and mom won't be the super mom, they both can relax!!!

A little study break with the girls!!! We went for a "hike", it was gorgeous and a well needed break!!!! Throughout the past week there were many late nites, and I have been sleep deprived hilarious! Fun fact: When I don't get my sleep I am a very slap happy person! At one point I'm running down the street at midnight like super woman making random sounds as well as snorting in public! Ohh I'm a blast! If you haven't seen me in that mood you are missing out! Im halarious, life of the party! ;)  During this week I Facetimed mom many times and even got her experiencig my funny moments. When I was in my weird funny moods, she would die of laughter!

Now that my brain can finally relax, I have been able to reflect over the past semster! This semster has gone down in the books for sure! I have officially completed my first semster of college, now only 7 more! I do not regret choosing the University of Arizona. I had a lot, I mean a lottttt of hesitation for a variety of reasons but I am really happy down in the Dirty T! I have learned a lot about myself in this first semester and I'm excited to see what more is in store for me! I have definitely made some mistakes this semester, I'm going to be honest. However, these mistakes I've made, made me realize some things! I need to number one- take care of myself first, naturally I just want to be everyone's best friend and will bend over backwards for everyone no matter. This has killed me this semster both physically and emotinally. Next semester I'm going to focus more on me and my time...what will benefit my health both physically and emotionally.  And I can continue to do for me in order to be successful in the future! Over this semester I have developed friendships that I am forever thankful for!!! I've had many many laughs and many stomach cramps from laughing!

I hope all is going well for you guys! Hopefully I see  most of you this break!!
Miss you all and love you!
