What I’ve Learned in College: Quarantine Edition

This post is a bit late, but it’s whatever. This past semester has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve been with my family and at my house for most of it. However, I didn’t mind working from home and learned a few new things along the way.

Classes are WAY Easier the Second Time Around

This past semester I needed to retake a few classes after getting less than stellar grades. I had to retake geology and it was much better this time around. I sat up front and my teacher was more calm. I understood information much better and there were only a few heavily weighted assignments during the whole semester which I prefer instead lots of lightly weighted assignments. Instead of a D I ended up with a B. I also retook construction. I had gotten a C prior, which is fine, but not the grade needed for the program. I made sure to stay on top of my assignments because I’m not bad at construction, but simply won’t do the assignments when I have something more stressful or I just forget about the assignment. I actually enjoy construction. I ended with an A! In both classes I focused on my work and knew what to expect already. I also knew some information from previous experience. So, while it’s not ideal to retake a class it has its good sides.

I Understand Why It’s Important to go to Class

Prior to school becoming at home I didn’t understand why I had to go to class. I mean if you read the book you’ll be fine, right? Wrong! Through my class video lectures I found that there is information that’s presented in class that isn’t in the book! So, it’s important to go to class and learn what isn’t in the book!

Thanks to these I had an easy semester and turned in some of my best work including a fabulous research report on the Denver homeless camping ban! Anyways, that’s all I think I learned. Both are good lessons that I’ll hopefully implement in the future!

God Bless!

The Best Experience of my Young Life: Casa Bonita

I read an article by Westword that read if Disneyland and Tijuana had a baby and left it to fend for itself in a strip mall on Colfax, it’d be Casa Bonita. I finally got to experience this gem with some of my friends, Nai and Hannah, who have also been eager to try the restaurant out. We pulled into the packed parking lot of Casa Bonita that stood in the same shopping complex as two dollar stores and a kids dental office next door. People surrounded the outside as the fountain splashed and I took photos as rapidly as a mom on Christmas morning. This was it, the best of themed dining experiences. We entered into a very confusing entryway and found the line, but first we stopped by the bathroom, which happened to be very nice. We stood in the red velvet roped line with other epicures, such as ourselves, waiting to order at the register. The line was dark, but illuminated by Corona neons, a sign with the words “Easto Much, Peso Little”, a vi...

Summer Style 2019

This summer I have been trying to expand my wardrobe. I noticed I have many solid color shirts and my outfits have gotten boring. I have been trying to change this by getting a top in every color to change it up. It has been a little tough because I try to follow Karl Lagerfeld's advice of purchasing pieces I either need or really love. There really is no reason to spend money on clothing you sort of like, you got to love it. Click on the titles of the clothing to get to the link. Ralph Lauren Polo Flag Cotton Sweater I love this summer sweater! I mean who doesn't love a summer sweater! It is so patriotic and perfect for chilly summer nights.
