     At a young age I always wanted to have a pet just like any other kid. I would constantly beg my mom to get a puppy but I would always get the same answer, "I'm allergic." Even though we both know that wasn't the case but at the time I let it go. Until one year when my mom and brother came home with a cage that was covered. My first thought of what was inside the cage was a puppy, but I was wrong. I was so disappointed to see that they had brought home birds. I didn't really consider birds as being "pets." I was little at the time and didn't think birds were meant to be locked up in a cage, so I set them free and was told I would never be able to have another pet again.      Years later  my brother and I agreed into getting a dog and named her Luna. Honestly, my brother did all the hard work into training her now that I think about it. The only thing I really did was play with her and feed her so technically it was easy. Although I do miss her...

If I would've known how this week was going to turn out, I would’ve just gone straight home after school. But that’s the thing, if someone were to know something bad would happen then they’ll do anything in their power to avoid it. Knowing me, I hate staying indoors just watching tv. There are times where it’s relaxing not having to do anything but I can get so impatient because of it. It’s like in order for me to function I have to be doing something or go out to do something productive.  It all started on Monday from waking up to an email of my first class being canceled to my hour drive from home rushing in traffic to get to my next class on time. That’s another thing I get impatient about is traffic itself. Even listening to the ads on the radio was frustrating. Besides that, my classes went smoothly and met up with a friend after class. We both agreed on going to the mall to buy a gift for a friend of ours since we both didn’t want to go back home and do nothing. On our way th...

      I finally got to see my best friend Yessenia this weekend whom I've known and been friends with ever since 2nd grade. In the summer we both were usually busy most of the time because of work. Although we both had separate jobs we were able to get the same days off at work. Mainly because we wanted to still to find a way to hang out before she moved to Indianapolis for college. I just wish that summer never ended, but I'm glad she was able to go to a college of her choosing.        Lately we've both been so caught up with school and work that our schedules never really align anymore. The long drive doesn't really help either. So we both came up with a plan to at least be able to get a day off of work and be free from school so that one of us can drive out to see each other. This time she drove out here because she said she missed her favorite burger place. So that was our first stop, it then became my favorite spot as well because o...
