Hey guys! I know it has been forever since I last blogged, but wanted to come back to World of Me and type about summer. Ah, Summer! Relaxing, enjoyable, and all I have to do is lay around and, wait-
...
What do you mean my mom wants me to do math!?
This summer, and summers to follow, I know summer is a time to sit around and not HAVE to work, but it is actually really good to do math in the summer time, as well as read and practice for whatever foreign language you are studying in school. And though it sounds like a nightmare, it is COMPLETELY worth it in the long run, I promise. I am so happy I found some online programs so I can practice in the summer! For any of you who are interested, I know there are a lot of online math programs to try out, but I have a favorite that is completely awesome and completely free. Check out https://www.khanacademy.org/ and try Khan Academy. It is literally awesome with detailed videos to help you out. As for language summer practice, check out https://www.yabla.com and practice with Yabla ultimately any language! This one isn't free :( but is is REALLY exceptional and will help so your brain won't get language rust over these summer months. And reading practice, I have the best thing ever for you guys! *Insert sarcastic voice* Go to your local library, and pick up a book! Any book at all! Trust me- I know it is a concept for this generation, but reading is the best way to improve and upgrade your vocabulario (See what I did there? I've been practicing my Spanish on Yabla) and it's authentically fun!
I know we all want to relax and there is plenty of time for that in the summer. But do a little practicing every day, just so that cerebro (brain) won't go getting rusty on you!
Practice away guys, but don't forget to enjoy those sunny days too! After all- it is summer!

Hey everyone! So today I wanted to write bout something I know all of you have heard about, and many of you may have experienced it. So, I'm gonna first tell you something; my blog, World of Me, is to share my experiences, thoughts, ideas and lessons with other girls my age who might read it. To be able to show others my crazy, confusing, amazing world. But the blog doesn't jst belong to me, or, I mean come on; it wouldn'tbe a blog. I write so that others can be inspired from "my world", and be able to take part and learn from it. So ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS comment, share, and join in.
On an entirely different note, I wanted to write about bullying. There are bullies all over the place. On the internet, at dance, volleyball, and even school. Not just guys, but girls too, wait around to make fun of us, and put as down in any possible way they can. I'm gonna be straigt out here; it sucks. They're rude,and often extremely hurtful. Even if they aren't that hurtful, but their constant mean comments can just get really irritating, that's a bully. Lots of us have been bullied before, and it really doesn't feel good. It may start to make you think,"what if I am fat?" or "what if I am hairy?" I am not just writing this as a total hypocrite, or to sound like one of those typical teacher advisers that come to talk to you about bullying either. It's happened to me, and I want you to know that you aren't alone. It happens to lots of us. And bullies are ALWAYS just really really insecure about themselves, and don't feel good about who they are, so they prey on you to make themselves feel better. The truth for them is; it only really makes them feel worse, even if they don't realize it. They are also, really, just downright jealous of you. Wishing they could be more like you, so they put you down in order to lift themselves up. Well here's the key:
Don't let them get to you.
They will often make mean, completely untrue comments to put you down because they want to see your hurt reaction. Don't give them that reaction, and let them know that they don't bother you. And I know sometimes it's really hard because sometimes, whether we like it or not, the coments do get to us(even though they're most often completely not true.) So when that happens, and the bully carries on, you need to stand up for yourself. Tell them that you don't like the way they are treating you, tell them that that makes them a bully, no one appreciates it and they need to stop. They may retort with something even worse, so give them no reaction and repeat yourself:"You need to stop. It isn't funny and it's making you look lke a bully." Sand your guard and don't EVER forget:
You are extraordinary, wonderful, and nobody can pull you down just because they're jealous of you.
Also, never be afraid to get an adult involved if you need to, because they can really help, even if you are worried about making things worse, it won't. Stay strong and don't ever forget how awesome you are. Because there will be bullies everywhere throughout your life, and we can't let them bother us. Because who asked their opinion anyway? WHo cares what they think as long as you know you are being the best you; you're perfect. And no one, especially not a bully, can change that.
I will write soon!

Hey guys! Well it's the start of fall officially now, and I love when the days start to get chilly. I kind of wanted to write about a few super cool fall hacks that I definitely think make me enjoy the season a little bit more.
First off, who likes Starbucks? I know I do for certain; but it's so expensive! I love to make my own favorite drinks, like a chai tea latte and the pumpkin spice latte. I love this website for recipes :
Yummy homemade fall drinks
So check out that link for your own creative fall drink recipes!
I also know that fall is my favorite fashion season, because fall looks are most stylish in my opinion. You have got to check out this pinterest link for some adorable outfits for the fall:
Cute fall looks
I don't know about you, but I think one of the things I love most about the fall is the scents and yummy smells. I recently went to Bath and Body Works and bought the most DELICIOUS scent I've ever gotten there. It's called Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte, and I'm pretty certain their best smells are during the fall. Here, if you want, you can browse Bath and Body Works to see if you find one of those delicious fall scents that totally sets the scene for fall. I'd actually encourage you rather than shop online, to actually go to your local store and check them out so that you can smell how yummy that store smells at this time of year.
Bath and Body Works Fall Scents
Finally I think that the most important and wonderful part of fall is the colors. The beauty of the changing seasons. Where I live, in the rocky mountains of New Mexico, the aspens changing from green to gold on top of the mountains are absolutely amazing. New Mexico is such a beautiful place to be in the fall; and it truly lets you see god's love stained upon the earth for us to see.
Fall is a truly amazing time of year. I hope these fall hacks make it even more of a season that you love!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been a while. I only have 3 dyas left of summer vacation, but I'm super excited for the upcoming school year! Is anyone else as excited for the 2016 presidential election as I am? I am just hoping that our country will do what's right, because if Donald Trump ends up winning for president, we're headed downhill even more. Comment who ya'll are hoping to win. I am SO hoping that it is Hillary Clinton. Her priorities are definitely in order, and how incredible would it be if our country finally had it's first woman president!? I would definitely encourage you to check out the candidates even more on this link:
Presidential candidates 2016
Then comment below your opinion. I'm curios to see what you all think.
Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful summer and that everyone has a wonderful start to their school year. I will write soon!

Hi everyone! I apologize for not writing in so long. Today I wanted to tell you guys about something called lucid dreaming. So, I mentioned earlier that I was into neuroscience. Lucid dreaming is the concept of basically being able to "wake up" inside your dreams and realize "Oh, I'm dreaming!" It doesn't sound that interesting until I tell you that once you are able to realize that you are dreaming, you are able to completely control what goes on in your dream. The possibilities are literally endless. As long as you can dream it, you can make it happen :) I am a lucid dreamer, and just a few of the things I love to do are:
- Flying
- Breathing underwater and exploring the ocean
- Running at the speed of light
And loads of other fun stuff!
Lucid dreaming is basically becoming conscious inside of an unconscious state, so your dream is also the world's best councilor. You can ask the dream how you truly feel about something, and it will tell you straight-up (because, think about it, you're asking your subconscious self.) You can also overcome fears in your lucid dreams. Some examples might be:
-Spiders
-Speaking in front of a large audience
-Your scary science teacher ;)
And pretty much whatever frightens you.
I also found it really cool that you can actually become better at sports and physical activities while lucid dreaming (muscle memory.)
If you're into it you might want to read more on Worldofluciddreaming.com
I'd really encourage you to check it out because it has changed my life!

So I thought, since I hadn't done this earlier, I'd give a little bit more of an introduction to my blog, " World Of Me." I started World Of Me because at my STEM camp which I wrote about earlier, one of our classes was blogging, where we learned to use Google blogger to create our own blog. Since I have left the camp, I decided to continue blogging because I enjoyed it and I feel like it is a great way to share my story while expressing my opinions to others. I hope to keep it up and I will try to post, if not every day, at least every other day. BTW anyone that makes themselves known or comments and participates will get a follow on Google Plus! :) Thank ya'll for reading!

I'm back at home now in Santa Fe and even though I miss camp it is a great feeling to be home and back her with my family. Did anyone else here about the little mini conflict Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj had over Twitter. Yikes! Chick fight! If ya'll want to check out my link and read about it on Today, Pop Culture. Just click on my link below:
Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift Swap tense twitter tweets
Pretty dramatic, no? I am a HUGE Taylor Swift fan, and have purchased pretty much all of her music. For those of you who haven't heard much about her or her music, I'd encourage you to give it a try. She is not only an incredible artist, but she is a huge feminist, and has donated so much money to important causes. (Click here to read this super touching story of what Swift did for a young fan with cancer.) I'm so sad that i may not be able to see Taylor Swift in concert during her 1989 world tour because tickets are just REALLY pricey and hard to get. But I wish her the best and anyone who does get the chance to see her, she is an INCREDIBLE performer, I know you will enjoy it.
Well that was my post for today. I just had to dedicate at least one post to my favorite singer. You go girl! Maybe one day, for all I know I could actually meet her! Wouldn't that be amazing! ANd to all those haters out there, " You just hate Taylor cause you aint Taylor!"
