So I haven't really talked about myself on here or really expressed who I am, so I'll do that now. To start off with, my name is Vanida and I am a freshman at Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois. I am 18 years old and majoring in biology. I am an only child with a mother who plays both the mother and father role. I currently don't really know where life is taking me right now but I hope its something I will be satisfied with. I used to have dreams of traveling the world one day and working with animals. I still do. Animals and exploring new places are my passion. I hope to one day visit London, a place that I have always wanted to visit. I dream of living in California with the hot sun beating down on my face and living next to the beach. It all sounds like a dream to be honest. Something unrealistic. But I hope one day I will find peace with myself and finally feel settled down.

Easter Break
This past Easter break was really a break that I needed, just to cool off for a bit, even though it was only a 4 day break. School has been really stressful lately, especially since it's almost coming to an end and finals are near. On Thursday, my friends and I hung out at each other's house and got to meet her new puppy! We then took a trip to Chinatown. We had rolled ice cream (which was the first time I've ever had rolled ice cream) and it was probably one of the best ice cream that has ever gone into my mouth. The next day, my roommate Meghan and I took the train to UIC for a visit. After we visited and explored the campus a bit, we kind of fell in love. Meghan and I have known each other since middle school and we've always dreamed of living in the city. Living in an apartment with your best friend, overlooking the Chicago skyline. That was always a dream of ours. Living in the suburbs of Tinley Park is nice, but being able to go on a night walk in the city and...
First Year of College
As I approach the end of the year, I enjoy looking back on the memories I made my freshman year in college. I think of the long nights I was up studying, the high test scores I got and even the low test scores I got. I think of the nights spent enjoying with friends and the early mornings waking up for classes. Whether it be taking a moment to enjoy small things such as nature or enjoying big thing such as celebrating birthdays, I have learned to have a more positive outlook on life. As a whole, this entire year has been a learning experience for me and I have learned many lessons along the way. I learned proper studying habits, the consequences of procrastinating, and the rewards of time management. I learned that there is a time and place for having fun and a time and place for being focused and studious. Whether or not I transfer out of Lewis or stay, I can truly say that I enjoyed my first year of college, and I will be using the lessons I learned to shape the rest of college ...
