My Dreams When I'm Older

I want to help the world...

My Dreams When I'm Older
Mariana Reyna

I may only be 20 years old but I feel like I have a lot of knowledge and experiences on certain things to make me want to be a voice for the world if that’s even possible. I grew up with such strong adult figures in my life my mom and dad that have taught me so much about life in different aspects and perspectives. Growing up as well I have learned the ropes on how to handle certain situations and how to be a voice to others.

Ever since I was younger I always knew I wanted to help others around me. I grew up wanting to be a doctor but then shortly realized blood scares me and I would probably faint before the patient. Then I got into business because I knew I wanted to manage people and feel like the dominant figure, which then made me realize I can also be a voice, and I don’t just have to dictate in an office. My life goal is to one day speak to masses of people and to encourage them to keep going. Some have dreams of working in an office or being stuck doing busy work but my goals are to help everyone around me.

Some people may feel stumped everyday or may feel as if all that surrounds them is problems at home or their social life’s and I want to be able to heal them. Although I have realized that it's better to worry about myself and not be surrounded by others problems otherwise they affect my mood that isn’t what I want to do I just want to be a voice. Even if I just talk to someone for 10 minutes I’ve had people tell me they feel at ease or they feel as if they have a helping hand and that makes me feel so good about myself. I think that ever since I found myself and my purpose and I’m living such a joyous life I have been able to be an example to others even adults.


My parents have mentioned that I have been such a light to their life recently and that they have been able to get through some of their issues and reflect that onto their friends as well because of how I aid them through situations or speak to them in a way that makes them feel at ease. My dream is to one day help others and give them healing words to make them feel comforted knowing that everyday there will be a step closer to a dream and a place to feel content and happy with themselves. I want to be a healing voice when I am older.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
