Finishing Strong!

This was definitely the semester of creativity. I was really able to strive through my writing and designing skills. Grades are not out yet, and I still have to write a 15 page paper and take another final, but I have calculated up the potential outcome of my Spring 2016 grades!

Reporting & Writing: A-
Graphic Design: A+
Music Appreciation: A
Argumentation & Debate: B

From the looks of it, I should end up having THE BEST grades I have ever received in college. Let me tell ya , I will be proud of that B  because I put the most effort into that class. That is actually a great, soothing reminder to all of you college students out there. If you don't receive the grade you were hoping for in a certain class, don't get down about it unless you know you did not try your best!

I'm in shock of how fast college is flying by. At least I have another year at SBCC to experience it even more! A few of the bloggers are leaving SBCC, but I plan to stay and hopefully continue this blog for my last school year here.

Here is a video of the two projects I am most proud of from my Graphic Design class. Yes that is my bald head. And yes, I was and will stay obsessed with Guinness/ pugs in general. I spent over a month working on the booklet about my pug that passed. I made sure to give you enough time to read through each page since I never got to blogging more about it. I knew if I blogged about it, the blog would be several pages long. Ain't nobody got time for that! And if you did, well I didn't. Hahaha, I worked my butt off this semester. Although, it didn't seem like it sometimes because I was taking classes I enjoyed. I hope you have enjoyed my blogging entries for the past two years. I have certainly enjoyed writing and putting them together.  Summer starts this Friday!!!! You know what that means? One more month until I go to Israel! Make sure to travel, relax, and celebrate life by having fun this summer. We deserve it! See ya next school year :)

The Ultimate Job


Here's to 100 blog posts and to the (almost) end of my second year at SBCC! 

One hundred blog posts....One hundred memories! I want to thank you all for keeping up with my work. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I could get paid enough money to blog about my life for the rest of my life, that would be the ultimate writing career. Experiencing life to the fullest and spreading awareness about it to help people, while having it all to reminisce back on sounds like the life. All of your support means the world to me because you are helping me make my dream job of being a writer become possible.

Journalism IS an Art
Before school in Fall 2014 even started, I went to a welcoming event for the incoming freshmen (yes I used to be a freshmen, wow that seems like forever ago, but yesterday at the same time, okay moving along). At this event, I noticed a stand that mentioned something like, "Love to write?" and I was instantly drawn in. I was shy, but I thought it might lead to something positive for me, so I went up to the stand and here I am today, a blogger for SBCC for two years! I look forward to hopefully blogging next year up through my transfer to wherever I go because wherever I go, I know I will be happy that I did this. I plan to print out all of my blog posts and put them into an album that I can look back on and have my future kids look at after they graduate high school and are about to leave for college. I've learned a lot and shared a lot and hope you have enjoyed it.


As of right now, I am all over the place finishing up my spring semester. By all over the place, I mean all over SBCC. Sunday night I was at school. Monday I was at school for 14 hours. Tuesday was somewhat normal. Yesterday I went to school twice from Isla Vista. Today, I am doing the same thing, on top of leaving straight from school to work. Guess, GUESS where I will be tomorrow on my "day off"? Santa Barbara City College. I am losing my mind while at the same time, trying to use it for the end of school. Summer is on the horizon and I cannot wait to be under that sun, relaxing and enjoying break. You know that saying where things gotta get worse before they get better? Well....you gotta study and lose sleep before you can have fun and gain sleep. Once I finish this blog post, I will be on my way to the last SBCC 2015-2016 school year blogger's meeting. Time to celebrate with some pizza! (Stress eating on the down low) Good luck everyone, and thank you again for supporting me through my journey at SBCC as a blogger! I wouldn't want it any other way! This is just the beginning of my writing career.
