Let the games begin

It’s October now, and with that, so many things are approaching. How am I supposed to handle it all? Fall season, autumn vibes, pumpkin spice on one side, MLB postseason, midterms, group projects, “The Life of a Showgirl” release and work on the other. 

Since the semester began, my mind has not been at peace at all. I am still getting used to balancing my routine: school and work. And adding to that, this semester I also started with my program’s classes so it has all been a process for me. But I never said I didn’t like it, actually I have gained experience handling the situation, and right now, I am looking forward to the best months of the year starting now.

Every year, for as long as I can remember, it has been the same: I wait for my favorite team to reach the World Series in October. Lucky for me, the Los Angeles Dodgers show up often. 

I really enjoy watching baseball, I have never been much into sports, but baseball is the exception. I grew up in a family of baseball players who made me like the sport. To be honest, I don’t watch regular season games because, boring, but there’s just something about postseason. 

Why the Dodgers? I guess I just followed my family’s favorite team and decided to stick with it. I am glad because I had the chance to attend one of their games in Monterrey, Mexico, during the Mexico Series 2018 vs the San Diego Padres. 

I still dream of the day when I go to a game in Los Angeles, at their home. I am sure it will happen soon. As of now, I will keep an eye on these next games before this year’s World Series. 

Autumn is not really autumn without leaves falling down like pieces into place, the perfect season for my 24/7 music obsession. I love listening to Taylor Swift and I feel like this season will be different. I could not just not talk about it, the release of her brand new album is driving me crazy, I am so excited.

I had the opportunity to attend The Eras Tour and have never been the same since. I am looking forward to the next tour.

This month may be chaotic, but it will be interesting after all. I would not have it any other way. I am so ready.
