Intelligence, adorable, incredible all of these aspects are the traits that dolphins have. They are like the brains of the sea, with having the mind of a scientist or mathematician. The reason why I can relate of them is because they are very kind with humans and, take care of their fellow dolphin friends. Every time I go to an aquarium looking for the dolphins is on the top of the list. As I start my career as a photojournalist, I would want to start with writing about dolphins. Learning how they live is of course something that will become fascinating to me.

Going to “Discovery Cove” in Orlando is on my bucket list because, I would love to pet a dolphin. Being close to a dolphin will always be a big dream of mine and, I hope that one day it will come true. What is your spirit animal and why?

When I was a child I became a big fan of the “Harry Potter” franchise, I guess I just really loved the whole magic aspect. Trying to learn the spells was something I worked on with an imaginary wand, crazy right? Just having an imagination about becoming a wizard was something that I would never forget. What is really funny is that I would cosplay as one of the characters, as well as acted like them. This then carried on to me as a young adult.

My older self began to realize that “Harry Potter” can actually help me through life. The films and books showed friendship, love, bravery, and determination. In life now I realize that all of these traits are relevant, they can relate in my everyday life. Although the magic is not real the imagination is for sure. I guess this is why I enjoy watching fantasy and science fiction movies. What childhood series helped you in life, and why?

When I was a student in high school I have always wondered what college would be like. Thinking about what my major would be or what kind of courses I would take. Then college came and, I as like many others were very nervous. Knowing all of the work and time college takes, in the end it is definitely worth it. Meeting amazing people and making new friends was also something that really helped me through my first two years of college.

I am in the final weeks of finishing my two year college experience and, then transferring into university life. It will of course be a big change in my life but I am ready for the challenge. If any of you guys have advice for a transfer student then please let me know! USF is the school I will be attending I cannot wait but of course it will be much different. Larger class settings, bigger campus, and having new friends, that is the difference. Thank you for listening to me talking about my college life thus far and, good luck to all of my fellow college buds!!

Many of us during our childhood had grew up watching Disney Channel shows. But now that has changed on a big scale. The shows currently on Disney Channel are not how they used to be. The old shows made us laugh, taught life lessons, and of course had amazing acting. Throughout my childhood I grew up watching these shows that I will never forget. They made me laugh and in some cases even cry.

Some of these shows included “Hannah Montana”, “Wizards of Waverly Place”, and “ The Suite Life of Zack and Cody”. But now people can relive those memories through an app named “Disney +”. Back then I would watch these shows right after school but, now I can watch them at any time. I am so grateful that I get to relive my childhood memories through an app, it truly makes me happy! A fun fact about me is that I would dress up like the Disney Channel characters when I was younger!

As many people know we are going through tough times currently. But I personally feel like we cannot let the Coronavirus bring us down. Even though schools are closed as well as small businesses, we are still finding ways to connect with others. Through FaceTime to Zoom calls communication is key. Talking with others is a great way to relieve any stress, during these times. Meditation is also a great way to lower your anxiety and or stress.

Seeing everything happening on the news I have realized that the world will be much different. People will hopefully become closer and happier. We will start to build more meaningful friendships and relationships. I truly hope that all of you stay safe and healthy. Also, remember to stay quarantined and practice social distancing. I know these times are tough but one day this will end and we will be happy as ever. LET US BEAT THIS VIRUS TOGETHER!!!

Wish you can go back in time to a decade where life was different than what it is now? Mine would have to be the 80’s because of great music, films and of course the style of clothing. People were not judgmental or hateful towards each other everyone was fairly getting along. People were self independent and did not care what others thought. This is where the clothing comes in, people would wear basically whatever and look like a model. But the movies during this time are what get me, “Back to the Future” and “The Breakfast Club” are some of my all- time favorites for sure. Music during this time is a totally different story, the band Queen is one band that I love listening to, their music makes me smile. I can listen to a song and just jam out and dance around like crazy. This decade was so groundbreaking, full of dancing, music, movies, and self- expression.

Being confident is a great way to express yourself and for you to show self love. Showing off your beauty and personality is a great way to boost your self esteem. I feel like being confident definitely makes you feel very happy and other people will take notice. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not beautiful because you are always. I personally am big on self confidence and, I just let people know that they are worth it. Loving yourself before anyone else is essential because, if you do not love yourself that is not good for your health. Doubting yourself is an negative aspect you have to say to yourself that you can do it and, as long as your try that is all that matters. Being “perfect” does not exist because no one is we all have our flaws but, we can work on them. Remember this, you are loved and you can accomplish anything. Reach for your dreams and shoot for the stars!!

Thinking about where you want to travel to for your next vacation? Florida is a place with many attractions and fun places to visit. From beaches to theme parks to even festivals, Florida is a great vacation spot. The beach is a fun way for you to relax in the sun and enjoy the nice ocean waters. Theme parks like, “Walt Disney World” or “Universal Studios” are places with many great rides and beautiful shows to watch. Many festivals happen as well like “Orlando Summer Jam Fest” and “Summer Fest”, amazing music and tons of fun. Also, staying to watch the Florida sunsets will take your breath away, because of its beauty. Visiting some of the historic spots in Florida are incredible to see. St. Augustine is full of history, and is definitely a great learning experience. So, if you have no clue what you want to do during your summer break, come to Florida because I promise you will not regret it. Hope everyone has a great Summer 2020 and always have fun!!

Ever thought about how the future will look like, some people would say flying cars or holograms. But ever thought about machines taking over your place of work? Businesses mostly are replacing their employees with machines which lowers the rate of workers. For example “Home Depot”, there are no cashiers available except maybe one or two. They are all self checkout which I find a little risky. Complications can occur for example if the machine is not scanning your items or someone not getting their receipt. It’s not just “Home Depot” that I have witnessed doing this. “Five Below” is another place where they completely replaced their cashiers with machines and, that just makes me confused. In fast food restaurants kiosks are being place where you can order your meals and pay for it. Why take away peoples jobs, people need jobs in order to make a living and or profit. Many people have opinions about this topic but I am against it for sure, machines are not a solution always.

Many incredible films came out in 2019 but, were there ones that many people will remember? I feel like many films that came out this past year had many messages to them. For example, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” had a message of bravery and power. Many films like “Avengers: Endgame” and “Spider – Man Far From Home” resembled the Marvel universe in such an action packed way. When it comes to the more serious films like “Joker” there is somewhat of a dark eerie feeling. Disney also made some big movies in the year 2019, “Aladdin” and “The Lion King” both live action films. Some might think that the actors and plot make a film complete but, I feel like the music makes it amazing. “Parasite” is probably the most talked film that came out in 2019. It was awarded best picture and, that is a first for a foreign film. To me that is truly incredible they made history in the academy awards!! I hope that some great films will come out in 2020 because, movies are a way to relate or escape reality. Is there a film that you liked in 2019? Was it one that you can relate to in your everyday life?
