On Saturday, November 5th, Miami held the 2016 iHeart Radio Fiesta Latina at American Airlines Arena. Thanks to 1iota events, a group of friends and I got into the SOLD OUT concert to be seat fillers for this televised event. Before the madness began, I was seated right in front of the concert stage.

To be seated there for the first 30 minutes of the show was amazing. But what was even more amazing was the show! Being a proud Latina, I knew that the show was going to get my up on my feet to dance and sing all night long. Just how good the show was you might ask? Usually concerts last until 11 o'clock at night and begin at 9 o'clock, but this one started at 8 on the dot and lasted until 1 in the morning! Here are is my review of the incredible line up this year. Hope I can convince you to go next year!

Nicky Jam

He was the first performer of the night and what a way to begin the show! This has been his year with his songs being a delight to listen to. He definitely knew how to get the crowd pump and when the whole arena was singing along to his songs, you know he is a fan favorite.

Enrique Iglesias

Well.

It's Enrique.

He is always amazing, and the women go crazy every time he comes out.

No complaints. Just give me a one-on-one serenade.

The gif says it all.

Pitbull

Pitbull was praised for his community work in the 305 (Miami) before performing on stage. His performance was delightful, but it was the last one of the night so I was pretty tired to enjoy it. Most of the arena was getting slowly empty since it was midnight. It he performed earlier, I might have been more pumped to dance along to "Give Me Everything".

Juanes

While the arena did not look "lit" for Juanes, I enjoyed his performance a lot. His music has been playing in my house for years, so to finally get to hear some of his iconic songs my family and I would always listen to was a pretty cool experience. His vibe is very chill and it really makes you want to sing along to his music.

Daddy Yankee

HANDS DOWN. BEST PERFORMER OF THE NIGHT. His energy was so refreshing. His music is ICONIC. I didn't realize it until that moment that I literally grew up with him. All his song always play at ANY party you go to here in Miami, and to experience this Latino vibe and hype was so memorable. Currently checking if he is doing any tour.

Gente De Zona

This dynamic duo knew how to bring the house down. Their performances where full of energy and hype. They are killing in this year and it was awesome to get to hear one of my favorite party songs live.

Farruko

Don't really listen to him much, but the whole arena was really getting their dance moves on when he came on. He definitely was a fan favorite!

Yandel

Newly solo Yandel killed the game yesterday. His music was catchy and got many people up on their feet to dance.

J Balvin

Another fan favorite who got the area to sing along with him. This rising star of 2016 knew how to pump up the crowd and made many girls swoon.

Overall, the concert was a success and to be able to witness this for free was just the cherry on top.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
