About AnasofiaV

Hola, and welcome to my blog! I am Ana, an 18-year-old, first generation Mexican-American who is currently in the process of transitioning into college life. As of now, I'll be going to MIT in the fall to pursue an aerospace engineering major, but who knows what I'll end up doing in the long run! My interests are diverse and my propensity to find new goals is exceedingly strong. (And I have found it to be much more of a blessing than a curse.) I, in a very brief nutshell, like practicing mon Francais, adore listening to music, love playing the trumpet (particularly enjoying jazzy tunes), and, generally speaking, am very enthusiastic about the world. Hopefully you appreciate walking along beside me through these blog posts as I share my experiences as a Latina in college! Don't be afraid to comment/ ask me any questions :)

Focus.

I don’t know why it is that you care to get an education, no, to put yourself through getting an education. Why is it that you challenge yourself, and motivate yourself to stay awake through lectures, homework, and more homework? Really, my … Continue reading

Memoirs of a Clueless Highschooler Part 1
