Class of 2017

Posted on by teresamunoz91

Congratulations Class of 2017 graduates! We did it! On May 20, I graduated from Cal State Los Angeles. For me, graduating is a bittersweet moment. I am happy to be done with tests, essays, finals week stress, but at the same time, I know I will miss the school environment. It might make me sound like a nerd, but I really enjoyed going to school and learning, especially about history, which is what I got my bachelor’s degree in.

I started off my college career by going to a community college first. I graduated from Rio Hondo back in 2012. It took me a while because I had trouble passing a math class and I took a semester off school. It may have taken me a little longer than other people, but I am happy I finally finished and got my degree.
After going to school for 20+ years, it will be very strange to not have to worry about picking out my classes or the first day of school butterflies I always got whether I was in middle school or college.

My biggest regret is working while going to school. I feel like I missed out on so much. I know some people need to work in order to support themselves while going to school, but I feel like it wasn’t the right thing for me. If I hadn’t been working, I would’ve joined more things and participated in more school activities. One thing I did while at Rio Hondo was write for the school newspaper. I loved it. That is definitely something I wish I could have done while at Cal State LA. I would also have tried out for sports while at Cal State LA.

Now that my college career is over, it is time to start looking for a real job. I’m definitely nervous about that. I know that it will not be easy.

Goals for 2017

Posted on by teresamunoz91

2016 was a great year for me. I learned how to swim,started working out, did well in school, bought my first car, started running etc. I want 2017 to be a great year as well. Here are some of my goals and plans for this hear!

1. Graduate from university. 

It has taken me a little bit longer than most people, but the important thing is that I will finally be done this year! I’m going to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in history, my favorite subject. I want to become a writer and a history teacher.

2. Run more and compete in my first 10k, half marathon, and full marathon! I started running in August of last year. My only regret is that I did not start running sooner. 

3. Get a new job. 

I have been saying for years that I will get a new job and this year, I will finally make that happen! I want to find a job that pays well and I’m happy to be there. 

4. Continue playing tennis

I played when I was going to community college and was even in the team. Then I stopped playing for 5 years! Since this semester is my last semester at school, I decided to take tennis as a pe class. It has been so much fun! Once this class is over, I want to continue playing. It’s a great workout and it’s the only sport I’m good at 😂

5. Travel more. 

So far, I have plans to go to Florida during spring break for Wrestlemania and San Francisco during summer with my family. I would like to travel to a couple other places either with my bf, friend, or family.
