I never imagined id be one to write about menopausal mothers, as I would blindly like to forget that my mother has passed through this stage in her life.

My boyfriends’ family is going through what seems like the most difficult time with their mother and her erratic behavior. I am sure it is both her repetitive child like behavior that’s slowly making them feel  as though they are losing their mind. In the 2 years that…

At the age of 3 I remember sitting on the sofa and reading the Houston Chronicle, stopping mid-sentence in an effort to pronounce a difficult word down to a tee. No one ever taught me to read, I am sure being an introvert helped me amazingly enough though. Since then, I could remember writing, “April daviLa in slightly tilted letters. My penmanship might have been a little jumpy, but I realized that the sounds of these letters could make people listen. Of course, there was a bit of a knack…

 Eccentric behavior is a type of personality to turn heads in both awe and sickness. Today, it seems, it is a trait girls are often pushed into and engraved as anormal  type of behavior that  should and essentially encompass the type of love that  guys yearn for in girls..

So who else is ready to go back to school in August? I have taken the semester off and I have to say I have missed the late night study sessions and the cramming in homework the night before its due. Although that is not something I recommend, especially since I'm in college. I want to hear about everyone's thoughts and feelings on the upcoming school year. Will you be headed to high school, college, or if your taking some time off. I know here in Florida I will be going through an epic…

The camp is basically for high school students pursuing their careers in journalism and the cam in on the month of July just one week.

Ever since I had a new friend I have felt bad about not spending as much time with my old friends what should I do to not leave friends out?

• Try asking her if she would like to hang out with you and your old friends. If she doesn't want to, and only wants to hang out with you, then ask her why she feels that way. Also let your old friends know that you want her to hang out with all of you. If both your old friends and…

I am 100% Dominican. And if you know any Dominicans you know the stereotypes. Big butt, tiny waist, loud, and of course expert bachata dancers. While there are so many amazing aspects of my culture like the passion for music and the pride that Dominicans have there are also many drawbacks. I am expected to have a big butt, tiny waist and also eat a huge plate of arroz con habichuelas y carne. And if I don’t soy exigente.

The expectations I am…

Dear magazine editor,

     I believe that you should capture the raw natural beauty of women. Do not alter it in any given way. You are sending the wrong message to both men and women. You will have women thinking that they are not beautiful enough as well as have the men not appreciating women as well. There are also many molds that women can fit into. Beauty is not a one size fits all. -Selena Blanco
