(I cried as I was editing it, because I miss my GUALA family so much </3 )

this vlog is ALL about my experience at the airport, arriving at Georgetown University, meeting my beloved GUALA leaders, going to training sessions, baseball game, traveling in the metro INCLUDING when some of them got stuck (hahahaha), going to the capitol and white house, yoga, and so many more fun experiences!

I know it’s long, but how can I do a 3 minute video on the best week of my life?

Weekly update :)

Hi y'all,

I hope everyone has been having a wonderful week!
Praise the lord for this weather, because the cold is gone :3
I love that it's not too hot, like it's sunny but it's windy, so you're not sweating like crazy :)
ANYWAYS, enough ranting about the weather!

I have finally uploaded the first set of Spanish/English vlogs!
Both videos are all about GPA :)

Para ver en el video en español, oprime el botón de play de este video:

To watch the English version, click play here:

This past 2 weeks, were all about taking tests! Now that they're over, I'm so ready to relax!

I will for sure be visiting my bestie in mexico, we will go get manis and pedis, then i will probably go to the pool and read a book. 

Who am I kidding.... I still have the MCAT to worry about D;

I have been working on my sleeping schedule as well. I feel like a grandma sometimes, because by 10:00 PM I am GONE! I start getting sleepy by 9:30, I shut off all electronics (I have my phone on a scheduled do not disturb), and I proceed to read the bible. 

I love sleeping early because I wake up early, I make breakfast and start my productive day.

At what time do you usually go to sleep? What's your night time routine like?

Have a blessed week,

XO Yarii <3

Happy valentine's day y'all

To celebrate this wonderful day, I invited my BEST FRIEND Julio to film with me a best friend tag!
We had so much fun filming this vlog, we ended up having 43:56 minutes of footage! It was so difficult to edit because i kept laughing and having to re-watch everything to edit out unnecessary parts! I also had to go through ALL of my pictures to find the ones i wanted to use, and special effects for the video!
we hope you enjoy this video and have fun with it as much as we did :)

We tag each and every one of you!
Trust me, it's loads of fun!
You also get to learn new things about your bff that you thought you knew!

I will be doing this Best Friend Tag with my bestie from MEXICO!
So obviously it will be in spanish, so it fits with my theme of translating videos ;)
Although it can't be the exact same content, it will be pretty similar!


Here are the questions you and your bff need to answer:

1. How and when did you meet? 
2. What's your favorite memory together? 
3. Describe each other in one word. 
4. What's your dream job? 
5. What's your favorite food? 
6. What is something that annoys you about the other person? 
7. If you could go anywhere in the world together, where would it be and why? 
8. Favorite inside joke?

10. what’s your Favorite season?

12. What is it like being best friends with someone who is obsessed with youtube.

Weekly update :)

Hello beauties,

I'm sorry i took so long in blogging!
I had my first test week :S
well I actually had TWO exams!

Anyways, this week I will be bombarding YouTube with 4 uploads!
I finally got around to editing all the vlogs I had filmed!

I also have a surprise for valentine's day <3

I've mentioned before that I'm from mexico, (and I bring this up because I had an idea!) so my mom doesn't know much english. Since my mom is obviously not the only one who doesn't speak english in this country, I have started filming a translation for my videos!
So there will be an english version AND a spanish version!
Sometimes I might just add subtitles or I'll see how it will work out!

today’s vlog is all about GPA!

Some students and parents don’t know what a GPA is and its importance!

I’m here to help :)

I also talk about some great tips on how to raise and/or maintain your GPA :D

After so looooooong, i have finally edited and uploaded my apartment tour!
this room tour will show what it's like living at UTB housing!
I love living at Casa Bella!
If you're planning to enroll in UTB make sure you consider living with us ;)

Weekly update :)

Good morning y'all,

I've been having an roller coaster week! Although I've been meeting all my weekly goals, unfortunately I got sick :/
I have a cold and conjunctivitis 0=
thank god today i'll be getting medicine.

As I told y'all last week, Maria and I were in a photo shoot for the Texas Scholars Magazine, we also had time to film a GUALA tag and it's finally up on youtube!
I had so much fun filming/editing it and I hope we get to do more blogs together!
Now it's time for the other GUALA leaders/mentors to respond back!
Ashton already did her GUALA tag and it was really good! Her funniest memory was the time that we went to a rude psychic, and i had totally forgotten about that! we thought that she was going to curse us, she obviously didn't because ro, ashton, maria and I are all doing great things!

How did you like our GUALA tag? leave a comment below :)

I also shared with y'all my life goals! God willing, I will reach them all!

what are your goals? let me know by writing a comment or filming a video response!

  

I apologize for not uploading the room tour yet, but since we've been having cold weather, it's not sunny and I still need to film the outside of casa bella. If the weather continues like this, I will just film it and upload it regardless.

On friday, all the RAs from Casa Bella had their photo shoot! It was so much fun, we're like a family and enjoy hanging out with each other! This wednesday we will be showing Catching fire at the casa bella lawn @ 7PM! I'm a big hunger games fan so i will definitely be there!

I'm the Building 3 RA! 

I have the best Building buddy! If you see Frank around campus make sure you say hi :)

That's all for today's blog! I hope y'all have a great week!

Remember that Gear Up Works!

weekly update :)

Good afternoon y'all,

this week has been super crazy!

The first week of school passed which means....I'm an official broke college student lol

Books are SUPER EXPENSIVE! 

Renting is always the best choice! Or buying the international version!

Martin Luther king day was on Monday, we didn't have class, however we had community service. Even though I had to wake up at 6:00am, I got to work with 6th grade students from Guadalupe middle school. We did a few scientific experiments and the kids loved it. The physics circus also performed and it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

Yesterday was my birthday as well, I feel terribly blessed, my mom and my grandma have been the greates blessing of my life! I have celebrated with a food fest lol

But I also procrastinated on my Vlog :( 

Hopefully it will be recorded and uploaded today!

weekly update :)

Hi guys,

Today, both Maria and I had a photo shoot for the Texas Scholars Magazine. With the good luck that surrounds me, the water in my apartment was non-existing -.-'
Since I had no running water, dry shampoo became my best friend.
ANYWAYS, We have been interviewed about our Gear Up experience!
We hope to inspire other students by telling our stories!
If we are attending a university DEBT-FREE, you can too!

Of course a photo shoot can NOT be complete if we didn't take a selfie ;)

Maria and I, were so excited to see each other again, that we decided to do a tag! we came up with a few questions (which we answered in a video). I will be editing and uploading that video very soon!
Of course, all of our GUALA leaders are tagged!

I hope you guys have a wonderful week! Remember that Gear Up works!

About me :)

First Vlog is up!

I'm so excited to get started on this new journey!

I hope we get to learn together as we go through the last months of my GUALA duties!

Love is louder😍

What is the difference between constructive criticism and mean comments?

How can we stop bullying and spread love?

I'm sure most of us have heard rude comments, the problem begins when you believe those comments and begin hating yourself. Bullying becomes so extreme at times that people commit suicide. NEVER joke around with a phrase similar to "Just kill yourself!" You never know how a person will react, nor what they've been through. Most depressed people will not cry in front of others and when people kill themselves a comment you hear often is "But they always looked so happy!" 

How would you feel if the result of your comment was a death.

If you're feeling depressed at this moment, watch this video by Kandee! It might not be the cure for your depression, but it will cheer you up!

Remember that I'm always here for you and I love every single one of you!

Weekly update :)

Hi y'all,

I hope everyone has been having great classes now that we are back in school!

I'm excited to start a new semester, one that will challenge me in different ways!

I will have class EVERY single day of the week, and of course i will be working 4 days out of the week PLUS i will be studying for the MCAT like crazy!

This past weekend was Check-in time at Casa bella, I was happy to see all the residents back home, but I was super tired! I have a new roommate, whom i haven't met, but I'm sure we'll get along just fine :)

I'm working on editing my quick about me video, so it should be up by tomorrow! Get excited :D

Que tengan una bonita semana y buenas noches!

Weekly Update :)

Hola a todos :)

I'm ONE week away from going back to school....NOOOOOOO!!!!!

I need more vacations! haha

I have been enjoying these past days with my family. Today, I cooked breakfast in my apartment for my mom and my grandma, and let me tell you, my grandma was wondering if my cooking was better than my mom's!

It's a huge deal for me! LOL

the breakfast menu included fresh (lemon, kale, cucumber, apple, banana, spinach and celery) juice, organic eggs with soyrizo and chocolate chip pancakes!

Although it's only been 6 days, I'm excited to keep up with my goals/ resolutions for this year!

This 2014, I decided to build a better relationship with God. Let's be realistic, the bible is a HUMONGOUS book; but I've decided to read a chapter each night, and eventually, I will have read the entire bible! Since I didn't set a deadline, it's a goal I can pick back up at any time, if I ever forget to read.

Tomorrow, RA training will begin. I look forward to reconnecting with my coworkers after a long needed holiday!

Have an awesome week and we'll talk next monday :)

XOXO Yarii <3

First Blog :)

Hi y'all (:

Today is the first day of 2014!
(Technically is the second day because it's past midnight, but let's pretend it's not)
I have decided to start this wonderful year by blogging!
I'm currently filming an apartment tour, but I probably won't upload it until the 3rd week of January.
I'm anxious to see where life is going to take me this year, hopefully I become a little more organized haha!
Last night was so much fun! My family and I ran around to symbolize traveling during the year, ate 12 grapes for 12 wishes, shared our new year resolutions and wore something red(love)/yellow(money)!
they're rituals that we do every new years eve, it might not work, but we have a lot of fun bonding this way!
What are some New Years Eve rituals that you do with your family? I'm curious, maybe I can add some new ones to mine ;P
