I Give Thanks to....

Giving thanks... This is no minute task.  To be able to do this properly, one must consider everything.  It is for this reason that I only give thanks to those who deserve it.  First of all, I give thanks to my friends who's advice an company I cherish greatly.  Thanks to their amiability I am able to confide in them any troubles I may have.  Secondly, I would like to give thanks to my family whom I share many anecdotes with. Finally, I would like to give thanks to God who has given me this wonderful life, full of grace and blessings.  It is inevitable that during this time, the time of thanks, that I am able to ponder all the blessings that surround me and I am able to really see how happy I am.

The dangers of contamination... :$

We as human beings have a responsibility to take care of our planet; we should be cognizant of the consequences of our actions.  Unfortunately, most people elude this reality.  When we pollute our environment we not only sullies the aesthetic features of it, but also the living creatures that inhabit this environment.  An example of this is when people throw away plastic bottles and other garbage in beaches.  This simple act threatens the life of many living, breathing organisms that depend on the natural balance of nature.  This garbage takes about fifteen years to decompose completely.  During this time, many creatures get trapped inside this garbage and thus lose their lives.  This ultimately affects the rest of the the food chain because other animals may feed off of these organisms, and thus will have less food.  In conclusion, this reckless behavior is something that should be mitigated immediately.

The Thanksgiving Holiday...

During the month of November, we are spared from school to spend time with our families and enjoy their culinary talents.  This break is designed to let us spend quality time with our families, take a break from school, and also to become energized for the remainder of the school semester.  It wold be logical that in this time we would have little work to do so we could enjoy our break, but this is not the reality.  In truth, most of us are pelted with an immense amount of homework and projects to be finished in this time.  This means that we as students have to learn how to spread out our work for the duration of the break so that we are not stuck during the last days working on things that we should have done through the entire break.  This way, we will not suffer from insomnia and will be able to enjoy our break.

Friends! :D

Most people think that a friend is just someone that you just spend time with, but the reality is that friends are much more than that; they are your family.  People normally develop extremely close relationships with their friends.  For example, I myself find that being accompanied by my friends is something that I have to relish constantly.  This is something that I cherish a lot because of the fact that I am an only child.  This causes me to become very lonely at times, and thus look for my friends so that I can procure help with any problem that I may have.  Amicability ushers the development of happiness.  Friendship can never be superfluous.

The wonders of sleep

Sleep is defined as to take the rest afforded by a suspension of voluntary bodily functions.  This is inevitable in our lives because this process helps us energize our body and thus be able to exert ourselves physically and mentally.  Unfortunately, this is not very typical among the students of University Gardens because we are bombarded by extreme amount of homework that require extensive hours of dedicated work.  This sometimes invades the time we should dedicate to sleep.  Sometimes, students are affected in negative ways.  They may become irritable, flippant, and ultimately may express unorthodox behavior.  It is because of this that we should take the time to sleep the correct amount of hours.  This way, we can do our best in school, in our social lives, and in our extracurricular activities.

Fried Rice! :D

What most Puerto Ricans call chinese rice is actually called fried rice.  This type of rice can be procured easily.  Fist, one must cook medium sized rice in water with oil and slat.  After this, one must employ various ingredients that will add peculiar flavors to the rice.   These can be lettuce, green or red peppers, shrimp, ham, among others.  After this, soy sauce has to be added to the rice in order to add color and taste to this type of rice.  This is according to the person that is cooking so it can be a superfluous or a minuscule amount.  Though this is a very tasty rice, it is not the original fried rice that people eat in China, it  is only a Puerto Rican version of this rice.

Music...

For some, music is a distraction; for others it's entertainment; but for me, music is inspiration.  Whenever I plug-in my earphones, I delve into a my own world where my imagination can run free.  Music helps me ponder about my work, concentrate on what I'm doing, and thus complete my work auspiciously.  Sincerely, I can't imagine a world in which music is not present.  This would be a world devoid of creativity and imagination.  It is futile to deny the importance of the fanfare of instruments creating a beautiful melody that I relish so much.  What I am trying to express through this is that I cherish music with all of my heart and I believe that my life would not be the same without it.
