Now that I’ve had a lot of time on my hands, I have spent a little more time cooking. I made things I already know how to make, like brownies and I tried new things, like mofongo. I made mofongo twice and I still think I need more practice. It wasn’t bad, I ate it, but it wasn’t great and mofongo is always great so it’s missing something.
But anyway I made something awesome today, a piña colada, well sort of. You need a lot of things to make a piña colada, like coconut milk, cream of coconut, pineapple, rum, and a blender. Well mine didn’t have rum or coconut milk or cream or pineapple, but I did use a blender. I got a Piña Colada Mix and all I needed was ice and a blender and I was done.
That cup was supposed to be cold but I forgot to put it on the freezer before.
It was really good, I felt like I should have been at the beach or in a pool instead of my living room but it doesn’t matter, it was so refreshing. Learning how to make that during quarantine was maybe one of the most important and useful things I’ve learned in these two months. I’m really going to need those skills and a lot more of those Piña Colada Mixes and a lot of ice to make it through this summer.
I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write.
I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer.
I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book.
Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
