My Life is the Turtle Emoji

 Shello Turtles! Today is open topic day! YAY! I actually don't know what to write about...well I'll just wing it.  I've been obsessed with Taylor Swift. Not because of her tour, but because of her lyrics. I relate with them, and it gets me into my feels. Like from my past experiences, it hits different. I've been loving the Reputation album. Something about it makes me feel so energetic. It makes me feel alive while also making me feel everything I had been keeping to myself. So, I guess I can say that I'm in my Reputation Era. I have too many favorite songs in that album, but I love Don't Blame Me, Delicate, or Getaway Car. But I will say, her 10-minute version of her song, All Too Well, is so good! I will sing that with all my heart and my lungs. I just love the story and her film. It paints the perfect picture of a toxic love and the grief of losing something that made you thought made you happy. But then she kind of disses the guy at the end of the song. It...

 Shello turtles! It's been one busy week! But I hope you guys are doing well! Today I'm going to talk about the documentary I watched that is named 20 Feet from Stardom . It's about the backup singers that preform with well-known artists.  One scene that got to me was the backup singer that was going to originally sing with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson wanted her to sing with him at his upcoming show. You could really tell that she was very excited to make an appearance and possibly a big debuted could have happened. Her career could have taken off with that show. As she was on her way to the stadium, she got a call. Everything came crashing down in that moment. Michael Jackson had died that very day. She said that she felt that she was in no state to sing at his funeral. But she did.  Honestly, it made me very sad for her.  Sometimes, life doesn't go the way we plan it. And yes, obviously there is going to be a lot of pain. But we push ourselves to keep goi...

 Shello turtles! I had some trouble with my internet the past few days, and my power went out in my house! I apologize for that!  Anyhow, college has been kind of stressful these past few weeks. All my homework keeps piling up on me, and it sucks. I have 4 total classes, but they are 90 minutes each which means more work for me :( It's a challenge to keep my motivation up as is, but at least I'm doing the best I can right now. Anyone have any advice?  But other than that, the cold weather season has begun, and I feel like I'm getting sick. And when I get sick, that makes it even more hard to concentrate in my classes. When I'm sick, I have no energy and I begin to fall asleep. It's horrible! I live in a Mexican household, so if I get sick, it will spread like the plague. And that means my mom will make chicken soup, and I'm not the biggest fan of that :/ I hope your week goes well! Turtles, don't forget to get a good source of vitamin C for this coming winte...

 Shello turtles! (see what I did there?😅)  I hope everyone is doing okay so far in the year. It's already September! And it's going to be in the 90s. I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for sweater weather. When it's sweater weather, that means it is almost Halloween! That means dressing up and taking pictures that will save the memories for us to look back on in 10 years. Speaking of pictures, I thought it would be nice to talk about my favorite picture that I love for this week's post. It's hard to choose a favorite picture from my phone. I have so many favorites.  I love this picture because it features our only chick that came out of the incubator. He holds a very special place in all of my family's hearts because we have had him since the egg. I raised him to love himself by first putting a mirror in front of him, and then my phone camera. Needless to say, he loves selfies. So, I would also take pictures of him, and majority come out looking...

C hallenges & experiences with the Microtheme: As I work on this assignment, I'm feeling pretty confident. But finishing it up is a bit tricky. I'm good at solving problems, and it's something I do naturally. But fitting everything into just one page is tough. I realize not every problem has a neat solution within these limits. It would be so much easier if I can just write everything down and keep it that way. But I have to go back and delete things in order to make in one exact page. I really don't want to delete my work, especially if I know it can help the paper sound better. But I guess those are sacrifices I have to make in order to make this work. I'm just so sad about it! Sharing my thoughts is usually easy for me but making it short and sweet is a constant challenge. It's like trying to end a chat that could go on forever. I love talking about stuff, and I feel like I could keep going without stopping. The same challenge happens when I try to wrap u...
