Entry #0 - Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Alexis Aguilar, but I go by Lexi. I am so excited to start my blog on here called Lexi's Corner! I am 18 years old and I have lived in Arizona my whole life. I plan on transferring to Washington State University in 2 years though because one, I need to get out of this heat, and 2 it is a very great school. I live with my 2 older sisters, 2 dogs, and mom. We are all extremely close and I honestly can not imagine my life without them, but there are times when I want to move out and get a place of my own you know? Here is a picture of me and my sisters:

The oldest, Angelica is on the left, I am in the middle, and the middle child, Anissa is on the right.

My parents are divorced but I am just thankful that my parents keep a cordial relationship so that they can keep co-parenting. Here is a picture of us at my high school graduation:



My 2 dogs are a chihuahua mix and a maltese poodle, I absoutely love them to death! They are getting old though so I am trying to spend as much time with them as I can. Here are pictures of my adorable dogs:

During my free time I like to read, write, and stay active. Right now I am currently reading a series called The Mortal Instruments I highly recommend it it's about supernatural stuff, my favorite. I write little short stories here and there but I do not let anyone read them because I am highly insecure of my writing. I plan on working on that and get the resources to help me become a better writer. On ways I stay active I hike, swim, and do home workouts. I will go to the gym if someone goes with me but I hate going by myself because I feel like everyone is watching me.

I used to play volleyball, but club volleyball gets pretty expensive and my parents didn't know if they could afford it. It was very hard not to play anymore, but eventually I understood where my parents were coming from. They had to pay college for my other 2 sisters and it's not like I could help pay for it even if I worked it still wouldn't be enough to cover the costs. I still play just for fun every now and then because it's my passion, I will always have a place in my heart for it. If you want here's a link on Instagram of some of my volleyball highlights when I played club: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUZY5GBjXl/?utm_medium=share_sheet

My goals in life are to become a Psychologist, become a member of the National Women's Indoor Volleyball Team, and get one of my writings published. I have always thought the human mind and brain are interesting and important to study, if I can understand myself more maybe I can help others better understand why they say or do the things they do. There are many things I can do with a Psyhology degree but I am kind of leaning towards being a sports psychologist. Unfortunately, I never got a scholarship in volleyball but maybe I can just be a walk on during try-outs in college. I will never know if I don't try and who knows, maybe if I make the team in college it will lead me to the National Volleyball Team. Also, it would be pretty cool if I walked into Barnes & Nobles and see one of my future books that I had written on their shelves. I could have written about my journey with volleyball or my study findings in Pscyhology. It's good to have goals and I hope you have some too. Anyways, thank you so much for taking some time to read this quite long introduction about me. I hope you liked it and I hope to see you again on... Lexi's Corner! Byyeee!!

    It is so cool that you are on a club volleyball team I always wanted to be on a club team but never had the money for it. I also played volleyball but only in high school it probably one of the worst decisions I have made but I still did it and got as many opportunities. I wanted to try out for the team at GCC but now I just play for fun.

    Can I just say, I love the name of your blog! Volleyball is a very fun sport, my cousins and I would always play at ASU West volleyball fields but since we were soccer players we just used our feet. I'm sure that counts right? Club is very expensive I agree which is the reason why I never pursued my dream of being a professional soccer player. I wish you the best of luck Lexi at Washington State University and make these next 2 years memorable!

Entry #10 - Topics in Food Quest

 Hello world, Lately I have been learning a lot about the U.S. food industry and how our food is being processed. I personally do not like our food industry and I think that it needs to change. I hate seeing animals being slaughtered just for our sake, and I am currently doing research on being a vegetarian because I am seriously thinking about becoming one. Not only do I think that killing innocent animals is terrible but there is also an abundance of meat not being eaten by millions of people, which means that a couple of cows’ lives could have been saved. Our food industry produces way too much food and most of it is being wasted. Most of our food is artificially processed now days and we need to go back to times where fresh fruits and vegetables were being eaten all the time. I came across this comic strip online about food processing and I think that it does an excellent job of showing the true nature of it in a cool and funny way.  As you can see down below the comic strip has 3

Entry#9 - The Secrets of Starbucks

     Hello world,     Today I want to talk about something that I just found out and was very shocking to me. Y esterday I was scrolling through Snapchat and I came across my sister’s Snapchat story. I clicked on it because her face is familiar to me, but what I saw on her story was something that was not so familiar to me. She posted a video of her and my other sister in our kitchen with 2 Starbucks cups on the table, one was a grande (medium), and the other one was a vente (large). There were no words said and there was a captain at the bottom of the video that said, "no words needed."My sister ordered a medium-sized latte and asked for a large cup with lots of ice, and here's why. When she got home she poured the medium-sized latte into the large cup of ice, and when she poured it the latte filled the cup almost all the way up. My oldest sister was shocked in the video and it was so funny to see her reaction. All three of us were shocked but it actually makes a lot of
