About Me

-

I am a 19-year-old coffee loving small town girl born and raised in Midland, Tx. I attended Robert E. Lee Highschool and graduated in 2017. I am a freshman music-education major at Hardin-Simmons
University!
    
  • Pinterest is my weakness 
  • I am a 2-year All-State Choir Member and national music scholar
  • I love to play volleyball
  • I am fluent in Spanish
  • My great-grandmother had 21 children
  • I talk a lot, even if I do not know someone 
  • My favorite color is pink, which portrays my personality perfectly
  • I love traveling the World
  • I am in love with Jesus Christ 
  • I am a member of the HSU concert choir
  • I laugh a little too much
It must have been an intense song! (pictured with my brother)
Music has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my Dad was the lead singer in a Tejano band. So, our nights consisted of singing and messing with all of my dads equipment.  A few of my favorite genres are country, pop, alternative, and Spanish music. My love for music and traveling escalated 2 years ago when I went on tour with my high school choir to Europe. We visited Croatia, Italy, and Germany. I absolutely fell in love with traveling the world and the study of linguistics. By traveling, I became interested in studying abroad sometime throughout my studies. 
St. Marks Basilica in Venice, Italy. Felt like I was on a postcard
            Dubrovnik, Croatia. Beautiful scenery!
Family and Jesus are my whole world. Without them, I would not have the faith, and motivation to get through this crazy thing called life. My brother is 21 and attends UTPB in Odessa, Texas and is a senior finance major, I am the baby of the family! As you can see, we all have very amusing personalities. Family functions are very... interesting.

Thank you for reading my blog and learning a little bit about me! I am looking forward to blogging more and escaping into the world of Psychology! One more thing about me, I absolutely LOVE quotes so I will be ending with a quote by Mark Twain to sail into the new year.

 "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain

    This is so cute, Krystina! You did such a good job on this page, as well as your writing. I can't wait to see what else you post on here throughout the rest of the semester! This page screams "you," haha. I love learning about everyone's background, and it wasn't a surprise reading about your musical influences. I'll have to come back and keep reading throughout the semester!

    Krystina, I love your blog. It has so many amazing pictures of you and your family. It is well organized and has great little paragraphs that explain a lot about you as a person. Just from reading this I feel like I know you. I am also fluent in spanish and like to play volleyball.. Also, my family meetings get a little craxy because of my "interesting" family.

Teenage Brain vs Adult Brain

By interviewing my mom, I realized adults and teens really do differ in many ways. Teenagers can look like adults, dress like adults, and even act like adults at times; sometimes, it might be hard to tell the teenagers from adults (and other times it isn’t hard at all). But it’s also crucial to remember that their brains are wired completely differently. It’s long been known that at the end of the day, teenagers just don’t think like adults, and that’s because the different sections of their brains aren’t connected the way they will be once they’ve matured a little more. Most specifically, teenagers lack many of the nerve connections that tie the frontal lobe to the rest of the brain, limiting their ability to think ahead. My mom made really good references and was a great person to interview because she currently has 2 teenage kids and she also used to teach teenagers. “Well, no,” you have to say, “your brain is sometimes an explanation; it’s never an excuse.” ― Frances E. ...

This is Gina Rodriguez,Gina Rodriguez was born in Chicago, Illinois, to Puerto Rican parents Magali and Genaro Rodriguez. She was named the "next big thing" and one of the "top 35 Latinos under 35," by The Hollywood Reporter. They named Gina winner of the "Best Actor" award at the First Run Film Festival in NY and the film aired on HBO in 2010 and was named one of the "Five Best Shorts." After the years of success in NY, Gina booked a lead role in a feature film Go for It (Lionsgate) in which she received a 2011 Imagen Awards nomination. This very successful actress went through a lot to get to where she currently is. She was put down for many roles because she was a latina. She also rejected roles because of the horrible representation of latinos. Gina is also a supporter of Inspira, an organization that works to spotlight Latino leaders who shape their communities. Take a look at this post, posted on twitter by Rodriguez not too long ago d...
