THREEEE!

Ahhhh. Summer Bridge was absolutely AMAZING. I realized that college isn't as scary as it is made out to be. Then again, GEL was really laid back & Rodger was a spectacular teacher! I learned so much about the school and the resources available because of those hundreds of presentations & modules we had! One of the biggest things I learned about myself was that I can actually SURVIVE on my OWN! Before I moved into the UVA, my mom kept saying how I wasn't going to be able to maintain my dorm. I'm get REAALLLYY lazy at home :/ but coming here I realized that I am doing much better than expected. I now see how responsible I have become & know that I can manage on my own. I'm a BIG GIRL now :]

I have also realized that I need to start staying on track with school & all the homework i'm going to get. I'm already slacking off with homework from GEL [like the essay!] & I know fall semester is going to be ten times HARDERRR. I have gained insight on what needs to get done & what I need to do to get it done. It's going to be hard, especially living in the UVA because there is ALWAYS something going on, & I tend to get sidetracked easily :/ But taking the GEL class & being in summer bridge gave me soo much insight on what college classes are going to be like & what PROFESSORS will expect.

I think my BIGGEST challenge while at San Marcos is going to be staying motivated enough to not give up. I dont think that will actually happen, considering the fact that we have to pay for our classes so there is much more at stake than in high school. But it is going to be challenging to not procrastinate & getting sucked into wanting to go out instead of studying. Another BIG challenge i'm going to have is MONEYYYy! I know i'm really good at budgeting but being so close to the movie theatre & always going to food places [SANTANA'S] is going to be hard for me. So i'll just have to keep my wallet at home :] I hope money problems don't get soo serious that I won't be able to stay in college. I'm just hoping i'll manage :] One of my strengths was POSITIVITY .. so i'm just going to STAY POSI throughout my whole college experience, & hopefully everything turns out as planned!

Other than that, this experience was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL & everybody here was just SPLENDID ^_^ you kids are beautiful! <3

a little taste of me :] !

Heyyyy Summer Bridgers [& Rodger too] !

Well for you kids who don't know me, I'm Anna Marie Anguiano! I was originally from San Clemente and then moved to Lake Forest, but now I live in Lake Elsinore. I must say, it's not that spectacular. I don't really miss it and I'm glad to be gone. I just miss my friends, oh and my wonderful neighbors of course, so I will be going back often to see them! :] I like being away because I like the fact that I don't have to tell my parentals who I'm with or what I'm doing, I'm finallyyyy free! Don't get me wrong though, I do love my parents. They have been there for me since the beginning, it's just time for me to grow up. I graduated from Lakeside High School. It was pretty nifty! It was built my freshman year, so we are considered the first graduating class from there. I liked it because it was new so it was all clean and spiffyyy! But there wasn't alot of clubs to join or anything and our sports kind of suckeddd! Other than that, it was all good :] I played basketball two years for school and played soccer on the side. I realllyy enjoy playing sports and I'm kind of athletic. I also joined the powder puff team. It was really fun! I enjoy doing pretty much anything. I'll try anything at least once. I'm an adventurous person. I don't like being cooped up in one place for too long, I like being out and about doing anything I can. Oh and I love foooood! It's just sooo delicious, especially smoothies [from juice it up] ! Yessirr!

I always knew I wanted to go to college, but I didn't know where to or what for. I joined AVID my junior year and met my amazzingggg AVID teacher Mrs. Henricks! [ on thee left! ] She helped me out so much with college and all that crap. So I will definitely miss her! I decided to come to CSUSM because I didn't want to go to a UC anymore, and all of the other CSU's I got into were a tad too far away for me. So I ended up here, at San Marcos, with all of you legit fools :D So far it's going good. I was deciding on majoring in psychology but I think human development will help me wayyy more with what I want to do. I want to be some kind of therapist or something for mentally challenged kids :] But I definitely don't want to be a teacher, because they don't make money, and I want to at least make someee money, you know! :D I have ALOT of fears about college, I'm kind of a wimp! I'm definitely afraid I'm going to flunk a class. I know it's normal if you do, but I've never failed a class, so I'm not used to it. I'm also afraid that I'll lose my drive to continue and that I'll want to just quit and drop out, but I'm not a quitter, so I'm hoping I'll do fine. I'll just cross my fingers :] Those are just my MAIN fears, there's a whole list of them though!

If I could do anything, I'd most definitely want to travel the wholeeee world! Two summers ago I went to Europe with a bunch of friends and and a couple of my spectacular teachers :D We went to Italy, Switzerland, France, and England. I absolutely loved it. Oh and I just got back from Mexico. But not the nice, pretty, beach part, just the moo cow, donkey, ranch part. I love traveling and want to do more it. If money wasn't a problem, I would go everyywhereee I could, maybe even Saturn! You're welcome to come along too if you want :] Yeah, that's about it.

Well I guess that's all for now folks, until next time! :D
