Mi vida loca

Mi vida loca....yes that's right people my crazy life.

There is so much that my life consists of every damn day. Right now much school, studying,working, editing, writing, thinking and maybe a little too much online shopping..thank you Victoria's Secret.

My parents just came back from a vacation in beautiful Cabo San Lucas and I was jealous!!

Those nice beaches and great sun, yummy margaritas and chilaquiles..but most of all I was jealous of the slow pace of life there.

As more and more time passes in my own life in this country, I am focused constantly on how stressed and really tense I am. And for what?? To race over to Target to buy some shampoo or whether its driving like a maniac on the freeway Americans are always in a hurry to get somewhere.

I try for this American lifestyle to not be my lifestyle. I pray for this crazy pace of life not to be my own. But then I wake up and smell the starbucks and realize that I aspire be a journalist, a very stressful, in-the-moment type of job.

Funny huh...maybe ironic even.

My grandfather is my inspiration. That man moves to the beat of his own drum, believe me. He eats lunch for an hour and a half, drinks wine and enjoys his days watching the news, reading the newspaper and working in his garden.

If we all took more time to be like him and just chill and not worry about the five tests we have this week and the 30 hours a week we must put into our jobs we wouldn't have such crazy lives.

Just some advice I should take myself on a topic that has been heavy on my mind.

Good night!!!
