First Semester of College Done

 How's it going my utopians! I hope everyone is doing well and living life. I had finished my first semester of college📚🙌🙌 

 I passed all my classes with three A's, one B, and two C's. Let me start by saying if you decide to go to college, do not go in with the mindset it's going to be like high school.

 It's not! I repeat it's nothing like high school! Unlike high school, some professors don't necessarily care about the student or the coursework. At least in high school the teachers there do put in an effort to help you succeed. 

Now not all professors are like this, but there are a few who are. Secondly, make sure to study. If you're like me and you're able to get A's and B's just by being in the class and listening to the teacher, it's only going to take you so far. You'll actually have to sit down and put in the time to study. As long as you pick up some good study habits, you should be fine. College is expensive though so it is best to save up and work whenever you can. 

Don't forget to apply for scholarships. That's free money that doesn't need to be paid back, and who doesn't love free money?

In the end, college is fun and I'm glad I decided to go😀😁 I would recommend college to anyone who wants to further their education and meet new people. Not only that but college is a great way to do some networking if you are starting a business. 

🎁🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🤶🎅

🎁🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🎁🎄

Doesn't Christmas feel like it only last in the morning when you wake up and open gifts? It feels like that for me maybe because I'm getting older. Have a great Christmas and I'll be posting again within the hour to update you guys on my college experience!

Back At It Again

 Hello my utopians! 

 It's been months since my last post and a lot has happened since then. First thing first, I'm out of high school!!!! I did it ladies and gentlemen I graduated, with honors might I add😁. Honestly I always fantasied my graduation day and actually walking across that stage to get my diploma was so surreal.

 I turned 18 in July (where my July babies at👀🌞) and according to the law I'm an adult now. It's interesting how time flies. It seems like just last week I was trying to figure out my plans for the future. Speaking of which, in a couple of days I'll be off to college pursuing my creative writing major. Honestly, I feel very refreshed and ready to get back to you guys. This will still be a writing blog with a sprinkle of me adjusting to college life. 

There also might be a few changes to the blog to accommodate my newfound adulthood🤣

Have a fantastic Monday!

Is It All About The Money?

 Two weeks ago I got a job. Since getting this job, I realized the appeal of having money💵 and being financially independent. In a sense money empowers people. With money, you can do whatever you want because you put hard work into getting the money. No one can say how you should spend or use your money. 

Hypothetically, you can do whatever you want as long as you have the money. With this in mind, it's easy to get money-hungry where all a person can think about is getting the money. I'm not talking about those who need it to pay bills or to take care of loved ones or to survive, but those whose main focus is just the money.

Just as money can provide independence it can trap a person in an unhealthy obsession with money. Be in control of the money. Don't let the money control you. Use it wisely, but know it's not always about the money😉😃

❤Happy Valentine's Day💙

💙Happy Valentine's Day💙 

Everyone has their own ideas of what Valentine's Day should be about, but I see it as a day to tell those you care for that you love them. To me, Valentine's Day is a day where loved ones get together and spend time with each other. 

Sometimes, it's not about the candy or the gifts we receive. It's about spending time with someone you care about. Maybe, you don't have a special someone in your life, that's fine! Spoil yourself, do things that make you happy, give yourself a little self-love! Whether you're single or not, I hope everyone has an amazing day!

Long Lost Twin: Prologue

It was a snowy evening. Very few people were out. One of the few that was, was a young eight-year-old boy. The cold didn’t bother him as he walked the streets on numb feet and in tattered clothes. Some would cast a look of pity at the boy, but no one offered to help him. A police officer who was watching traffic saw the boy walking towards him.  

Knowing it was his duty to help those who need it, he couldn’t help but hesitant when the boy stopped in front of him, with haunted eyes. The officer cleared his throat. “Can I help you, young man? Where are your parents?” He wonders if the boy had come from a nearby shelter or had run away from home. 

“I need help going to my house,” the boy said without blinking. 

“Oh, where is it?” If the boy’s house was close by then he probably wouldn’t have to call in to report it.  The boy gave him the address to his house. “Alright, it’s pretty close follow me.” The boy looked behind him and then followed the officer to his cop car. The officer opened the passenger door for him and got into the driver's side.  

He turned the heat on, but the boy was still holding himself as if he was still cold. The officer could tell it had been a long time since the boy had eaten. It was amazing how the cold hadn’t killed him. “Can I ask you some questions?”  

“No.” 

The glare the boy gave the officer made the officer stay quiet. He convinced himself he wasn’t afraid of the boy and if he needed to, he will take him down to the station. Yet, there was something about the boy that made him uncomfortable. He drove in silence casting an unsteady glance at the boy every few minutes.  

“Stop right here.” The officer stopped the car next to a pale blue two-story house.  

“Do you need me to wal-” 

“What are you doing Rico?” The officer jumped when he saw a man appear in the back seat of the car. The man was wearing a black trench coat with long black pants. 

“I wanted to see for myself,” the boy responded. The officer watched as the man stared at the boy with annoyance. 

“Is he your father?” the officer asked. Rico ignored him.  

“Fine go see them then,” the man said in annoyance. The boy opened the passenger door and hopped out of the car. He ran up to the house and peeked into an open window.

 

“Do you have any kids officer?” The officer jumped when the man addressed him. 

“I have a newborn son,” the officer answered. 

“I had a son. Rico reminds me of him,” the man said nodding over to where Rico was still staring into the window.  

“What happened?”  

“He flew too close to the sun. He passed away. His passing was too much for my wife so she left,” the man responded. 

“I’m sorry to hear that,” the officer said sincerely. 

 

“It’s fine. Now I have Rico. At least once he realizes that no one wants him.” Rico was walking back to the car with hatred in his eyes. The officer stared at him in shock. Seconds ago, he was looking sickly, and his clothes were in tatters. Now he had fresh clothes and looked healthy as ever.

 

“Well,” the man prompted. 

“You were right. They don’t miss me. They had no intention of coming back for me,” Rico said. 

“Are you mad?” the man asked.

“Yes.” 

“Good. Then we have a lot of work to do. First, take care of him.” Rico turned toward the confused officer. He smiled. 

“No problem.” 

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! Let's start 2021 off right!
