Maybe an Unpopular Opinion? (since people always complain about school)
Posted at 3:01 PM
I understand completely how difficult and stressful college can be. I can see why people would argue that college is a waste of money given that there are student debts and you may not find a job until a decade after you graduate that can even pay off these loans. College has been stressful and hard for me and sometimes I think about dropping out, too.But despite all that, I feel like college is beneficial. I've stopped seeing college as a means to an end of acquiring a job. I like feeling more informed, I like feeling well-read, I enjoy learning and how it affects my decisions, my thoughts, my life. I believe that education, especially higher education, at an institute/university will help you out so much in life. From the resources, to great mentors and adults you create relationships with, to a variety of peers you come into contact with that enriches you and how you grow. This world is better off with more educated people. This is not to say that uneducated people are inferior. There are people that did not go to college that are doing very well in life, that are as knowledgeable as their educated counterparts. I'm merely throwing out the thought that there are more opportunities that you wouldn't have gotten if you hadn't gone to school at all. There are many ways to learn and pursuing higher education can give you a major boost. Labels: School April 07, 2018
Update From Previous Post
Posted at 11:10 AM
I went to advising and in the end I decided to go into CLA Neuroscience. Not heavy on prereqs and I didn't want to give up on it just because I felt it was hard. I think with the new study skills I've built up, I can do this. With more discipline and focus, I can do this. I have high interest in the field and the fact it links to Psychology ties things up pretty nice. So yes, I've finally declared my major at the end of my sophomore year. I've a long way to go and I may not graduate on time, but whatever. Life will get harder after this. I don't even know half the struggles I will end up encountering in the next few years. This should be nothing to me.April 03, 2018
The Semester Is About to End...
Posted at 12:38 PM
3/4 of my grades are high Bs right now but I really want them to becomes As!! My only failing class, aka GenBioII is going to have to be retaken next Spring semester but I don't really mind and hopefully I retain even the smallest amount of information from this semester for... next year's semester, which is honestly a long while away.
Life is okay. My friends (most) are either currently falling apart or struggling, which in turn is making me feel like my life is falling apart because I've been so consumed by attempting to assist them. I did pretty fine in helping them work through their thoughts though. I am a premature therapist. Is premature even the right word?
I'm currently in the library, waiting to go check in for academic advising. I'm mostly lost though I was very determined to enter the science field full force at the beginning of this semester, considering to change my major to Neuro. But guess what, it didn't really work out. Maybe it could. Maybe I could try CLA Neuroscience. Who knows. I don't want to set myself back or put myself in the mindset that I can't do it. But I have other options and other interests. I'll probably jot them down here for later:
I don't think I'm made for the medical field or any careers that require heavy sciences.
I was rambling for the most part. One day I'll look back on this and realize I've either made the right decision on changing my major or the wrong one. But hey...life can't be that bad. Everything eventually changes for the better and if it's not, then it's on you to make those changes.

大学に帰ります。
Posted at 2:26 PM
Back at school for the Spring Semester of 2018. First day of classes and so far I'm trying to keep track of everything that's coming up and what I have to do to stay on top of all my classes and freaking pass. Trying to aim for mostly As and only a FEW Bs. No more Cs for me! I'm hoping to manage my time right and be productive (which is a habit I've developed thankfully, last semester). Here are predictions for my grades based on work load and difficulty of the class with full honesty. Though I don't want to really keep the grades I predicted if they're low I'm hoping to bring them up...
Fundamentals of Neuroscience (B+)
College Algebra (A+)
General Biology ( B????? I'm not sure yet)
Foundation of Behavioral Neuroscience (B-, Also the class I'm most worried about)
Japanese Elements (A-)
Yep, so far as of today, I feel as if I'll be in the B range. As the semester progresses, hopefully I'll find what my weaknesses are and what I can do to bring my grades up.

Major Change
Posted at 9:47 PM
It has been a long while since my last blog post. I want to continue updating this for the sake of... I don't know.As you know, I have been in college for over a month now and the work and stress is catching up to me but I have been managing just fine. Also, I've got myself a tablet ( Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0). It has been the most satisfying purchase I've made in a while and it really has taken the place of using my laptop. It has been a real big help with school work as well. I need to be more social and I need to talk to my dad more. But honestly, I can be such a coward and that's why I never get the things I want that are extremelying important. Hopefully that will change. It has to! October 21, 2015

这個年
Posted at 8:35 AM
Gonna type my blogpost on my phone because why not. I haven't been actively updating and thought I'd leave something so to show that I haven't completely gone ghost.I'm diving headfirst into studying mandarin. For real. The past couple years, I only studied during the summer but since I don't take a language course at school anymore, I thought I'd go year round with studying since I've got the time. WRONG. Despite not having Latin anymore, I still don't have as much time as I'd want to study mandarin. I don't want to go a whole day with out studying and need to be consistent, otherwise how will I retain the information? This is the challenge I accept and will help me with time management since I am always doing something else besides homework. It's difficult to make time for yourself when there's so much going on during the last year of high school. Labels: Life, Note-To-Self, Other, School June 12, 2015
junior year coming to a close
Posted at 7:55 PM
This pic was taken on 5/13/2015 at 4:31 PM according to my phone. From left to right is Omar, Katelyn, and Cheyenne.
  
This is from the last day of Spirit Week where girls got to wear gold/yellow and the guys wore blue. I didn't like this sweater at first but it turned out well. >.<
(5/29/15)
 
Actually, why did I even. My tongue looked kind of ehhh. I don't know what happened, I thought I was getting sick lol.
(6/3/15)
This was taken on the Saturday where I went out with two individuals that I identify as my adopted family members.
(6/6/15)
  
Got my project for Theology back on 6/9/15 of this week. She wanted to keep it so I asked if I could take a pic first and forgot days later to give it to her. Next week is exam and hopefully she's present.
(6/10/15) A short run to a nearby Rita's with our coach O'Connor (who paid) and the only present members, Richard and Syerra.
Taken today because no school for Monday Workers on this Monday-Friday since no more work. I didn't wear those shorts out though. Changed out of those denim shorts bc they were killing me and these were more comfortable. #blackandwhite

intrinsic evils
Posted at 6:41 PM
I joined Slam Poetry club today. After a couple friends have been pestering me here and again, I gave in today, when I went into the club room seeing if Esthela was there or not and Richard told me to stay and Mr. Clark, the initiator, told me to stay, and then the rest of the club seemed to be welcoming me.I wanted to be a rogue poet/writer. I didn't want to affiliate myself with them. But I'm being closed minded and it's not so bad. The teacher is pretty cool and chill with everyone because he cusses and all. I have started writing poetry in a designated notebook that I customized myself and so far, my ideas are practically all over the place. But things are coming up. I'm joining the Philly Style Run as well and probably Cross Country. Then there's Poetry. Ah, these clubs. I'm also in the National Honors Society. I need to get myself more involved to be honest!

unsatiable
Posted at 5:26 PM
What am I suppose to say? I've been reading nonstop, trying to utilize my time well so I'm able to get books in and out of my system as quick as the rivers flow and seconds tick or night transitions into day. I've read over 100 pages in less than a day and I don't know if I feel any more or less fulfilled. This book is really destroying me.On the other hand, I still need to write lists out and things I need to do and colleges I'd like to go to and write on my watt pad and get my freaking. Life. Together. Figuratively, it is together. But I'm no more satisfied than an empty stomach with just junk food dissolving away in the stomach acids. No. No. Labels: School January 05, 2015
Morning
Posted at 9:22 AM
Break is over! D:I'm at work now but this morning I got to see the faces that I've missed so much over break and can't wait to spend another year with them. :))) Afternote: Getting my life together is a priority. But when is my life EVER together. Reflection on last year is a pain in the butt. And I want to type out things I've done wrong that I will not ever do again (or avoid as cautiously as possible). 1. Prioritize your relationships. Seriously, I've dealt with this last year and I'm kind of wondering whether my mind is in the right place. Please don't neglect the people who are around you and care about you for someone you feel is more important or feel like you need more than life. Biggest mistake ever. I live for myself and I decide who I'll invest time in. 2. Cut the bullshit and stop being scared. Won't follow through 100% because my guts are as minuscule as a grain of sand. Working on it~! Fear is one of the driving forces that keeps me from doing what I want to do and NEED to do. 3. Be more outspoken. Not in a way where I'm always out there but I need to stop playing the doormat that people can just walk all over. Prioritized relationships as I've noticed are rather few. I'm comparing the people who were with me from birth until now, from elementary school until now, and from the beginning of high school until now. Those time spans and the people who I've walked through those years with are people who I truly need to care about because they've been with me on the long run. Since Birth: Family members, duh. Since Elementary: Alice, Jenny, Ada, Emily, others I associate with on a routined basis. Since High School Started: Jose, Kris, Richard, Esthela, Lizbeth (more to name but these 5 pop up in my head). I'll end this post on a positive note. Positive note. lol. December 23, 2014
deletion and completion
Posted at 9:45 AM
 Christmas Break for me has started since this past weekend (wonderful). Fourth day in and I'm going back to school on Jan. 5th. I'm tired of being bored and I'm bored of being tired. Nothing to do but read, write, do homework, read more, manga/anime… well, I'm not all that bored. It's just nothing exciting. I'm trying to create a to-do list every single day just so I have something to complete and feel satisfied with when I'm done by the end of the day. Might as well type out these plans.Note: Random pictures are going to be added into this post (like the ones where I edited with Lana Del Rey).  >.< 
Speaking of manga, I started reading Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji yesterday. There's an anime out for it now but screw the anime , I want to read the manga first. It's okay so far; hasn't really left the greatest impression on me yet. I'm only on Chapter 8.
Speaking of which, I'm trying to read a lot of books. I tried reading this one psychology book two nights ago which was a bad idea because my brain was preparing to shut down and having statistics shoved down my throat is not the plan.
Spontaneous kitty gif I found on tumblr days ago that I thought was real cute ^.^
Sata <3 He's a complete jerk and he reminds me of Richard >_>
I agree.

obsessed much [photo galore]
Posted at 3:53 PM
Ugh, got so obsessed with my curls today. They were honestly better than the ones I made a week ago. Gahh. But I think I need to loosen up because I wrapped my hair too tightly around the freaking sock this time around.
From Photobooth then edited. You'll tell by the size.
Honestly one of my favorite edits.
The curls weren't even that big of a deal. It sucked that I didn't stay in school longer and I'm just staying home with no real great occasion for having made these curls //crycry//
 
I got a lot of compliments for them too ^-^ Sometimes my self esteem needs a boost but I enjoyed them myself too so ahahaha
 
Wonders what you do with yourself to change your appearance that increases your confidence :P
Favorite pic from my phone <333
    
The texture in this one tho omg <3

week in pics
Posted at 10:03 PM
I didn't go to school today for unreasonable reasons. ><Damn it dad, he told the school that I had a follow up appointment in the afternoon and when they asked if I was sick and that was the reason why I'm staying home, he said no. That's not convincing in the slightest. My fault though because I didn't tell him what to say but I wouldn't even know what to say either. Well, the worst consequence may be a possible detention or just being rebuked by the receptionist for not coming to school for no apparent reason. DDD: Exams next week btw. 
Monday curls
Always at the same angle. The curls were actually really pretty (thanks to the sock method). But there was this puffy part around the top of my hair so I was trying to get rid of it so why not do a half up do? I added a bow I bought from claire's to make it look extra nice. c:
 
Favorite pic of hair ahahaha
Thanks to the idea of staying home the next day, I decided to work on Richard's xmas gift. I need to clarify what happened last month with him later but now's not the time. Anyways, I drew this for him. Thanks to sharpie and a sharpie pen, it looks really nice. I got the inspiration from google. :)
Added effects and omfg <3 . <3
I'll be writing him a freaking letter about all he's done for me this year because why not?
Chipped nail photobomb ;-;
Before my appointment at the docs today, I went to buy this for Richard as well. o-o He's in love with tfios but Looking for Alaska was wayyyy betterrrrrrrrr.
This is kind of in return for the Asuna keychain he had gotten me. ^_^
