Puras Locuras, A Study Of The Not So Average 5th Year College Student

**** A semester reviewed: The Ups, The downs and, the Ratchet....

Moving in to Casa Chingona like

I was super excited to live with 2 of my best friends! Living situation had been rough the past years, but I'm having a blast living with my two new roommates! Luuuhhh them so muchhh!

Getting my Ile back!

I was really excited to take on my final semester with my best friend! She took the previous semester to go abroad in D.C. and she also interned with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation! Shoutout to MY ILS, WHO eventually became not only my sorority sister, but my Gamma Daughter #BFFGOALS

Volunteering at Loaves and Fish be Like

Not going to lie, Loaves and fish can be really stressful. The mission of the organization is what truly keeps me going. There are people that lead different stations and quite frankly I can tell they are burnt out on their position because they are very demanding and very rude sometimes. "Move Quicker!" "Don't do that!" "Don't touch that!" I hope to try something new for my continual next semester!

I learned a lot about Psychology research!

Majority of my psych courses taught me a lot about research involved in psychology, especially since psychology is a relatively new field. I read many articles, and found out many interesting things. I even learned about conducting my own research and was able to carry out a few projects!

Bringing in a new ship, was THE Highlight of my semester

I learned so much as an educator! Sigma Lambda Gamma Colony at Bradley University brought in 9 Unique, dedicated, ambitious women for the Fall 2016! So proud of each and every one of them! #GammasNeverChill

Addiction to coffee is real

I found myself leaving my apartment sooner than usual so I can stop by Starbucks to pick up my caffeine. I also instantly fell in love with keurigs :)))))))) :))))) ;))))) Hence why i am constantly more energetic than your usual 22 year old.

There is importance in Voting

I exercised my right to vote. I utilized the one power I have to determine our future. Although the candidate that I voted for did not win I still have hope for our country. I learned how to respect other that had a different opinion as I do. This election tested me in many ways. I believe I turned out okay.

BUT IM READY FOR MY FINAL SEMESTER

No doubt Im going to tackle my final undergrad semester. Nothing can stop me from achieving my goals next semester.
