The most important holiday in Mexico is the Day of the Dead, El Día de Los Muertos. Surprisingly, this holiday is anything but depressing. In the weeks before, Mexicans excitedly prepare to welcome the souls of the dead, who come back each year to visit the living. From October 31 through November 2 this year, I attended this fiesta with my roommate Manuel. By sharing Day of the Dead activities in his family’s home, in the marketplace, and in a cemetery, I have observed that Mexicans, unlike…

knows who ABC will choose for the show by then. US Magazine shared that Whitney is finally ready and has started dating again. Whitney hung out with other Bachelor alumni at the Bachelor and Bachelorette Thursday Night Football event at Tacos & Tequila at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, California and US Magazine was able to catch up with her and get details about her love…

Mexico is located between the United States and Central America. It’s known for its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches. One popular beach is the Orange Beach, when you think about this beach they said think about Myrtle Beach. It’s also known for its diverse landscape of Mountains, Jungles, and deserts. You would think Mexico wouldn’t have any jungles, just all deserts. Mexico has many cities, but the capital is Mexico City. The population is more than 8 million people that was as of 2010. Some…

John T. Edge reminisces in his essay of a time when he was a 17-year old freshman in college. He remembers the night where he gets pledged by a fraternity and stumbles drunkenly into an all-night diner. This wasn’t any old diner; it was the hotspot for young adults his age. He scarf down his food and rushes to the bathroom with no avail. He throws up on the floor and the owner yells at him to clean his mess up. In the beginning of Edge’s essay, he creates the setting, in the middle he develops a…

Not far away from the United States in the heart of central Mexico, is the land of enchanting beauty; San Miguel de Allende. This unique Mexican town is snuggled in the mainland away from the beaches. The beauty of this place was the sole reason why my husband and I decided to get married here. Initially, when our wedding planner suggested this location we were quite apprehensive. We were not sure about the place. We were also very young and on a tight budget, but quite determined to have a…

Even though I am not an art enthusiast I can still relate to her work, and feel what she felt. Frida was living in a time where she didn’t belong; she was well past the 20th century. Frida has been described as: “… one of history’s grand divas… a tequila-slamming, dirty joke-telling smoker, bi-sexual that hobbled about her bohemian barrio in lavish indigenous dress and threw festive dinner parties…” Frida Kahlo is someone I would marvel to just look at; it’s not just her artwork that makes her…

Moving in with a high school sweetheart after one month because they are so in love and their parents just do not understand their love may not be top of the list for good ideas. The man that a woman met off Tinder the night prior who bought beers and tequila shots all night may also not be the most promising future roommate. In a Deity’s eyes it is a sin regardless, but after going to confession and doing a few Hail Mary’s potentially over a Rosary (in Catholicism) forgiveness will always…

friends but they will also be able to do it with an alcoholic beverage. Some customer’s favorite drinks, like the Mountain Dew Baja Blast, will now be available to be spiked with 1 ounce of Captain Morgan white rum, Ketel One Vodka or Don Julio tequila. Taco Bell wants the experience to be enjoyable for those who drink alcohol and for those who do not. Taco Bell stores will stop serving alcohol at 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnight for weekends. It is hard to please every consumer but Taco…

Whether it is listening to music on the radio, watching television, reading a magazine or just walking outside in the street there is advertising everywhere. There is no escaping advertising every time we see, hear, and touch, advertising will be there trying to sell you something. Consider this advertisement by Bud Light beer that features four people and an ice cold beer. The blue light background is suggesting that they are in a club. Bright blue lights also suggest movies, stars, party…

In the mid to late nineteenth century college students started forming groups in order to discuss current events, politics, and other controversial issues. Students formed this after not feeling “challenged enough” by their classes and professors. As time passed fraternity groups formed all over college campuses. In the beginning fraternities only had white, male members. Today, they have expanded to include women (sororities) and minorities. In the past fraternities were formed in secret, and…
