College Life

Everything college life: applying, getting in, and everyday college life.

You Failed Your Licensing PE Exam. Now What? - The Nueva Latina
I have never been the best test taker. I am not sure when a piece of paper became my worst nightmare. When I opened the results page and saw "FAIL" for the second time in a row, I was devastated. I Googled "failed the PE Exam. Now what?" And I kept finding articles about how to study better the next time around or how to develop a better study strategy. It didn't help.
Exam Prep: Study Tips for Everyone - The Nueva Latina
This list was developed after studying and failing the PE Exam twice. I have learned so much about myself and how I study, so my list comes from experience on what worked and what didn't work for me. 
So, how did I get over it? Time. Lots of time. And I threw myself into studying harder than before to ensure that I could pass the exam the second time around. And, honestly, I don't know if I passed or not. I feel like it's possible that I did and I pray that I did. But, if I happened to fail again, I know it's not the end of the world. I will just dust myself off and try again.
If you’re anything like me, your planner makes or breaks your productivity. Having a yearly and monthly calendar, to-do list, and planning space at your fingertips helps you to feel in control over life’s chaos. Think of a planner as a centralized area for all of your organizational needs. I am OBSESSED with planners and I think you should be too! The planners I love the most are the ones that offer more than a calendar. My goal with this post is to equip you with space to dream, outline goals, and plan this next year with purpose so you can achieve success!
Setting goals is essential for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you astray.
I am beyond grateful that I had my parents to teach me the true value of hard work and how to save money from so early on in my life. Life after college wouldn't have been as easy if I didn't have them there reminding me and nagging me about finances and making wise financial decisions.
We are all experts at setting goals. Today we'll do 12 different things. And by the end of the month, we'll nail all those, plus one million more. Easy, right? Truth is, it's much easier to set goals than to ACTUALLY do them. It all comes down to motivation, and let's be honest: motivation can go down the drain...very, very fast. It's just so much easier to sit back and think about all the things we're going to do... eventually. I decided to do some research and went to the pros to find 10 new ways to reach your goal, whatever it may be.
Life can get busy! With school, extracurriculars, and a never ending social calendar it’s hard to stay on track and on top of everything all the time. Getting and staying organized doesn’t have to be a hassle. Here are 5 ways to keep your busy life organized!
I started blogging about 5 years ago, but I started to really get into it about 3 months ago. It has been a journey so far and I am excited to be a part of this AMAZING blogger community. A friend of mine is looking into starting a blog for her brother and she asked me to write her a list of steps to start a blog. Blogging has become the best hobby I have and I love to put my thoughts to "paper" while sharing my life experiences with others. I figured there are many other inspiring bloggers out there that would really benefit from a "10 Steps to Blogging" list, so I decided to share my list with you all!
Throughout my college career I was judged by the way I looked more than by how smart I actually was. It really took a toll on me during my third year and I felt like I couldn't go on. Advisers and mentors I had all kept telling me, "Maybe engineering just isn't for you". On top of everything, I was one of few Latinas in my classes. Of course, all the Latina/os stuck together by joining organizations such as Pi Sigma Pi and SHPE. But, for a while, that wasn't enough for me. I longed to be a man, just because it seemed like everything came easier for them.
