Bid Adieu

Hey everyone!

Today I'm sharing with you some of my favorite shots of my grad photos. During Memorial Day, I went to campus with my friends Chris and Erika to take my grad photos. My friend Chris took these photos and I give him all the credit cause he did an amazing job. Also, giving a shoutout to my girl, Erika, because without her I wouldn't have looked as good.

Yesterday, I commuted to class for the last time. I cried on my way. haha. Sentimental much? Very. I turned in my senior thesis and finished my last undergrad final. I don't know where the last four years went, but all I know is that it went by too fast. Good thing I have a ton of memories to remember and a bunch of pictures to verify they actually happened.

I've officially finished my last set of finals and I'M DONE WITH COLLEGE. Graduation is only 3 DAYS AWAY. 3 DAYS. I still can't believe I'm graduating. I started this blog my sophomore year of college and now I'm done. What now?

I have no idea. But I'll be smiling, working, and laughing my way there.

Opening with this photo because I laugh at everything and I can never take photoshoots too seriously.



I graduate on Saturday.  I'm super stoked and a handful nervous. I can't wait to share with you my next blog post.

Till next time!

You stay taking those pictures

Hi everybody!

Happy Wednesday! Oh my gosh, it's JUNE! I totally forgot that it's time to welcome a new month. I stumbled upon my phone's wallpaper on Monday and noticed it was June 1! Where did May go? I welcomed June staying at home and chilling... like it was already summer vacation.

I literally have two weeks left of school then I'm done. This is our last week of classes (Week 10). Meaning, one more day of classes for me, then finals week next week!

Yesterday, my honor society had it's last meeting. In lieu of our usual general meeting in a class room, we headed out in front of our campus's theatre to have a photo shoot. It was so fun to be all together! Honestly, I joined LPE because I was recommended to join and a lot of my fellow COMM friends were in it. Little did I know, that the people in this organization were soon going to be family. Throughout this quarter, I was able to grow closer to some of my friends while also having the opportunity to meet new people. This quarter has been such an amazing quarter... a great way to end my third year of university.

This morning, I woke up feeling really unsettled and stressed out. I decided to make myself breakfast since I've been waking up late on my days off or eating cereal before heading out. I was craving some alone time and a nice big ol' brekky. I gave myself just that. I prepared pancakes and eggs with a side of fruit, and of course, iced black coffee (my fave).

By the way, none of the pictures includes the fruit because I left it on the counter and forgot about it. Ha!

I ended up finding maple syrup in our fridge and read it was from Canada. My mom's friend gave it to us a few weeks ago when she came back from her trip. I decided to try it with my pancakes and it was so good! No wonder Canadians like their maple syrup so much, it's delicious. 


I was able to start my day with a relaxing morning. I was eating a delicious breakfast, accompanied by soothing music and a good book, what could possibly be a better morning? 

Since I have the day off, I'm using today to do some homework/projects and relax a little bit. It's finals week next week and I'm trying to do my best to minimize my stress levels. Spring quarter is always the longest and hardest quarter for me. I'm almost done with this quarter and my third year. Just gotta finish strong in this last leg of the race. Whooo!

Misguided Moods and Funky Feelings

Hi all!

The weather here in LA has been all kinds of weird the past few weeks. I've decided that for today's post I want to share some of the music from the new playlist I've been putting together. If you're like me, I can't listen to just one type of music. Depending on my mood/feelings, I change my taste on music just as fast. However, since the weather has been all funny, going from cloudy/gloomy in the morning to sunny in the afternoon, I can't match my mood to the songs I've been listening to.

You can find the playlist on my Spotify page (@miramaje), or you can click here: Sun Rays & Thick Clouds.

The following are some of the songs from my playlist:
  • Walk Away - by LANY

  • Jealous - by Kehlani


  • Fineshrine - by Purity Ring

  • Waiting Game - by Banks

  • Worry - by Jack Garret


The songs in this playlist are just a bunch of songs I've been listening to the last few weeks / music I've recently discovered and liked. What are your favorite songs/type of music? I like knowing what types of music other people listen to because it can also help me to discover any new songs.

I know it's finals/graduation week for many schools/colleges/universities. If you still have classes or are in your finals week… keep going and study hard because YOU CAN DO IT!  If you are graduating/have graduated then CONGRATULATION, YOU DID IT!

I still have a few weeks left before officially starting my summer vacation. Last weekend was full of activities (you can read about my Memorial Day weekend here: "We Hopped to the Moon"). But being an introvert/homebody, a weekend full activities wipes me out and gets me really exhausted. I've been sleeping at 10 pm this past week trying to recuperate from last weekend. I'm trying to strive forward.  Summer is almost here folks! I'm excited!

I hope that your week is going well. If it's not, keep your head up. It'll get better. No matter what's happening in your life, don't give up. Because you got this. You can do it. Thing's will get better. 

“Anyone can give up; it is the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect you to fall apart, now that is true strength."

Spring Break 2015

Hey Everyone!

I can't believe the first quarter of the year has come and gone. Today's blog is a little throwback of how I spent my spring break 2015. I ended up hanging out with my college friends the whole week (besides work day), and I had an amazing time. It's amazing how much fun you can have with the right people. Throughout the week, I vlogged (video blogged) as much as I could, as well as, take as much pictures. However, there are two days I loved the most: Monday and Wednesday.

On Monday, we ended up up going to Disneyland! I usually go at least once a year and this time I went with my friends. I had a blast riding the rides and experiencing Disneyland with my friends (since most of them have the pass and go every other week). Sadly, when I got home and looked through the footage I acquired throughout the day, I noticed I didn't have as much as I would like since I was too busy enjoying the day with my friends. I have a lot of photos before we started going around the park and towards the end of the day and not as much in between. Here's what I have:









On Wednesday, my friends and I decided to get away for a while and escaped to San Diego. I've blogged about my past San Diego trips before, and my college friends and I decided to see those places together. It was a lot of fun exploring SD with my friends and just being together was good enough. Also, that day, our grades came out and we all celebrated for passing our classes. Hurrah! 




























I also ended up making a vlog for that day. Check it out:



Spring break 2015 was so much fun. I ended up not doing anything big but I did have a great time spending my week off with my friends.  Let me know how you spent your spring break/are spending your spring break.

The first quarter of 2015 has passed. April is coming and going so quickly, I can barely wrap my head around it. I'm trying to make the most of each single day. I hope your 2015 is starting off well and if it's not, don't forget you have more day to come.
