Contrasting Lives: Puebla and Baja California Perspectives.

  My brother moved to Baja California because of his work, and he messaged me almost every day to tell me a lot of things about what he missed from Puebla. Now he has to eat a lot of fish almost all the time, and he really hates it, which makes him miss the variety of food we have here. Another thing is the weather; in Baja California, there are a lot of sunny days, but here we have cloudy days, rainy days, etc. Puebla is cheaper, but Baja California is touristic, so many things are really overpriced. The bigger difference is we don't have a beach here in Puebla, so that's the most valuable thing for him about Baja California.

Kermes CU.

  It was a very hot day, and I really hated it. We chose the route to get to C.U. I think it was a bad decision because it was so full, as always. We arrived around 2 PM. I was hungry, but Michelle didn't let me eat something when we arrived. We entered through the architecture door and walked to the arena. We thought they asked us for our QR code, but we only needed our ID card. We saw some guys playing with some spray-foam kind of toy; they looked very joyful. There were a lot of people. I don't like to go to C.U., but this time it wasn't that bad; that was what I thought. There were some random people singing. I thought that they did it badly, but I'm so bad at singing too. I just wanted to go to the lagoon, but Michelle really wanted to meet her friend, so I had no options. We had to meet with a friend, but she was on the other side of C.U., so we had to walk a long distance. But luckily, I was carrying my umbrella. I usually use it for the rain, but this time, it s...

My Love for a Series That Kept Me on Edge.

  I really love this series because it used to scare me when I was a little kid. In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories. I like this series more than others of that kind, like CSI or Criminal Minds, because episodes used to be more intensive or even more evil. As a kid, I was really overwhelmed sometimes, but I really loved that feeling. Many episodes don't have a happy ending or even an ending in which the bad man went to prison. And for me, that was so real.

The Bike Adventure That Changed It All.

  When I was a young boy, I was very serious and quiet, so I rarely got into troubles. I rarely got permission to play with other kids or even go out and play alone, but I remember one specific moment when my mother let me go for a ride with my cousin. I was around 7 years old and I was at work with my mom; she used to work at the cafeteria of Jose Maria Pino Suárez school. One tragic day, my cousin (he was around 11 years old) came to meet me because he got a new bike as a present for his birthday, and he was really excited; that was his first bike without the training wheels. He wanted me to join him on the ride, but of course, my mom didn't allow me. My cousin and I pleaded for permission until my mother (unfortunately) accepted. I was more nervous than excited because that was my first time riding a bike alone and without training wheels, but that bike was too big for me. In order to face that situation, my cousin said to me: 'Let's ride it together, sit down on the han...

The Future of Delivery Services with Drones.

  I think drones are a good solution to decrease traffic and traffic noises, but maybe this service can't be as efficient as a delivery truck because drones can only deliver one package at a time. However, the drone's speed of service is higher because they navigate the sky, avoiding traffic. It's important to mention the safety of packages; they could be stolen, and safe landings are not guaranteed. I'm sure there are advantages and disadvantages, but I believe we should focus on the positive, and drones are leading the delivery service to the future.

The Struggle of Students in Deteriorating Language Faculty Environments.

The environment where students develop their knowledge is crucial; therefore, all facilities at the language faculty are terrible and almost seem abandoned. If students don't get a good renovation, they won't feel comfortable, and we don't know how this may affect their performance. Psychological help can make a big difference nowadays; however, this service is pretty deficient at the language faculty. If students don't receive the professional help and guidance they need, it is just a matter of time until something really bad happens. Insecurity has reached alarming levels, and this is even worse when we talk about the language faculty; the faculty should be a safe place to learn and share knowledge, but outside is really dangerous.
