Hey everyone!! So I know that I've been super M.I.A. and I know I have no excuse, but I've been extremely busy with school! Time goes by so fast, so when we just finished the first month exams midterms were about to begin!
Now I'm in finals, and I've been really busy going every day since very early in the morning until very late in the night just to study for the exam that is approaching.
Thank you for understanding...
But what I've been more excited of this semester is that I've met a lot of wonderful people, and even though we are not doing the same, we still are great and close friends. Many of my friends are studying completely different things and we still get along really well. My bff is studying to be an architect, a close friend of mine is studying communication and digital media, a couple of my friends are studying International Businesses, and my male bff (who lives far away right now) studies Mechanical Engineering and Electricity.
If you didn't know, in Mexico there are programs already made and you chose the one that goes better with your plans, for example I love makeup and I've always wanted to have my own makeup business, that's why I decided to study a career called "Chemical Engineering and Business Administration"; and what I love the most is that I have a class called "Introduction to Chemical Engineering and Business Administration" and I've found girls that also want to have their own makeup lines and we've been sharing ideas and plans.
What I'm trying to show you in this quick blog post is that I was afraid because I didn't feel ready to start this new journey that life has for me, but I took the risk and now I know i was ready and that I'm having the time of my life, even though I do feel really tired and stressed out, I know everything is totally worth it.
So, if you are feeling the same way as I do, please share your tips and tricks down in the comment section!!
xoxo, CML.

Freshman Year, Here I Come!!
*WARNING*
GET READY TO READ THE MOST RANDOM THINGS, I'M TYPING WHAT COMES TO MY MIND WITHOUT AN SPECIFIC ORDER
Hey everyone!!
So I know this is off-topic, but I felt I needed to share this with you!
First of all, I'd like to explain how the school works here...
We normally do 3 years of kindergarten, 6 of elementary, 3 of junior high, and 3 of high school... So even though we do less years of high school, we still go from the 1st to the 12th grade)... Then you go to university, but you go directly to where you want to (law, medical, engineering, etc) and most of the colleges offer 9 semester programs, but some programs are 10 semesters (for example, in my school the Architecture program is 10 semesters long)...
With that being said.....
So, this year I'll be a freshman in college... I'll be studying Chemical Engineering and Business Administration, so I know the next 9 semesters everything will be hard...
Why I chose this?
I don't really know, I guess it was because I tried to do the opposite of what my parents told me I could do; please don't get me wrong, I don't always do the opposite, but I felt that what my parents wanted me to be wasn't what I felt like doing (they wanted me to do things that I could do in my house, like an accountant or something like that), bur I've always loved 3 things: beauty (duhh!), helping others, and science... I really enjoyed my physics, chemistry and calculus classes and I felt like those were the things that I wanted to do for living (now I have 2 dreamed jobs: working in a cosmetic company creating different products, and the other is working in a pharmaceutic company creating the best medicines)...
Why I'm nervous?
I'm going to a big school... I used to live in a small town and my school always had a small population, then when I got into high school I went to a "big" campus (that's what I thought), and the entire school population was of 400 people, then on my Senior year I was transfered to a new school where the population was bigger (about 1,000 people), but now I'm going to a school where students from all around the world come and the approximate population is of 16,000 people!! I feel like I'll get lost in such a big campus!
I'm also nervous because I know nothing will be similar to high school... People always told me that the best stage of their lives has been high school and until now this has been completely true! (So, if you are still in high school ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!), I know many of my friends will still be around, but there are many others that are going to different schools or even in the same school but to a different section (like literature, or law school, medical school, etc)
I'm afraid that I won't be good enough for this, but I know that I have to give 300% of me to achieve my goals!
So, if you have tips for the freshman year, please share them here!!
