Dazed and Confused

So I got in....

SDSU....starts January.

I'm very happpy, I won't lie. I always said I would never end up there but deep down inside I knew I would.

I'm very happy that I am finally leaving community college and in no way am I looking down on it, however, my time to leave came.

I have been stuck in a self made hole and finally I can leave and reach my goal of graduating.

I am scared about many things regarding SDSU.

I'm scared of not being able to afford tuition.

and

I'm scared of all the other issues regarding money.

But mostly I'm scared of almost finishing school.

Although graduating will be a huge accomplishment in my life it will also mean that I will enter another level of adult hood.

I will no longer have a job that involves me folding clothes or joking around. I will now have to take life more seriously and grow up.

The funny thing is that I am not scared of the classes or even failing the. I have heard so many people talk about how hard it is and how they have a 2.5 after having an almost 4.0 in high school. I think that it is all about motivation and dedication.

I am dazed and confused but at the end I am more excited and motivated

High School Memories...Back to the Past

They say that when you are young you are experiencing the best period of your life.

I'm only 22 but I agree. I have so many crazy stories about random nights out and ones that are so weird that it is embarrassing for me to tell.

On Friday morning I got to shadow a reporter for the morning show. We went to Cathedral High school in Del Mar and visiting a high school campus brought back so many memories of my own high school experience.

It has not been so long since I've graduate but a lot has happened.

Watching those students interact with each other and ask me questions about what I do reminded me of how fresh and innocent I was leaving that auditorium that windy June afternoon.

I was full of dreams and goals I wanted to accomplish. I still have those dreams and goals, however, it's different because I am not as naive. It began to get to me when people said how impossible those dreams were but something changed this year.

After three years of staying still and watching life go by, I decided to take action. This taking of action led me to NBC.

It was really a very random decision. I was set on going to Mexico for four moths and live with some friends and do absolutely nothing. But something parked inside. I thought "Why not?"...""May be I could do it" and I did. I felt so confident writing the essays and turning in the application. Something inside me told me I was going to make it. And I did.

I have been an intern at NBC for about 12 weeks now and it has been great. I work early 4 am to 9 am shifts and have been learning a lot!

I guess somethings do happen for a reason...so for now I am enjoying my last weeks of intern life and writing this in a middle of a breaking story. So I gtg!

Lulu 101

So My name is Lourdes but no body calls me by my name.

I am commonly known as Lulu.

I was born in San Diego California but I was raised in Tijuana Mexico.

I am a college student, finalizing my long awaited college years.

Life has been exciting. It's been filled with drama and periods of tranquility but mostly, there has been a lot of growth within me.

I work in retail at a clothing called EXPRESS and I am currently interning at NBC 739 in San Diego. This semester has been a very active one. I have gone through school, work and an internship at the same time. Of course there is also the occasional boy drama but I tend to stay away from that.

Life is interesting right now.

I am in transition. Through this blog you will get an idea of what life is for a 22 year old aspiring journalist who does not know what life has in store for her.
