It’s still so hard to believe that I am a junior at UCLA. I am very excited and scared for this year because there are a lot of new transitions for me. I am excited for steering, being academic chair, learning what happens behind the scenes and creating an environment that is welcoming and loving for our new and returning members. I am excited to be living in Westwood and not having to deal with LA traffic every day. But I also knew this year was going to be one of the most challenging yet, mostly because it’s my third year and I still haven’t declared my major. I continue to struggle with my math classes, and every year I keep telling myself that “next year will be better,” but honestly, so far it hasn’t been. I am a planner, so uncertainty gives me anxiety. Even when I’m watching a show or reading a book, I will look up the ending, I don’t know why but that’s how I am. So with that being said, I don’t know when I am declaring my major, I don’t know how this quarter will go. But honestly, it doesn’t matter how many people tell me “You’re not made for math” or “You should change your major” because I love my major and I’m going to stick to it. Mostly because I don’t know what else I could do, I don’t like reading, writing and not good at science. So I ask you all to please do the same, if you are passionate about something DON'T give up! This quarter has taught me to start embracing the unknown, be open to change and to be grateful.As you can probably tell, I’m stubborn when it comes to my goals and sometimes I can be too ambitious and then totally disregard what I’m actually capable of doing. Learning to put yourself first is very important, and it’s something I’m still working on but remember that your physical and mental well-being always come before school. Learning to adjust to new changes can also be difficult because most of the time we are not prepared for them, but it’s one of those things that just take time. It may sound cheesy but it’s true what they say and that is “Live in the moment.” Yes, school is a lot of work and it can get very stressful and overwhelming, but college is also an experience that we all have to enjoy. We’re all here for each other and I’m so grateful to be surrounded by ponderosas mujeres<3 So if you ever need someone to vent to, know that I’m always here for you. Thanks for giving me this safe space.
