One of the most popular questions always seems to be about the future:

"Where do you see yourself in *insert number here* years?"

Whenever I get asked this question, I wish I was like Raven from That's So Raven. That way I could see the future and know for sure what will happen. I'm one of those kinds of people who like to plan ahead and know what will happen. But sadly, life doesn't always work like that.

So the question I was asked for this daily blog challenge was: "Where would I be in five years?"

For me it is impossible to respond to, I have no idea what the future will hold. All I know is I better have everything all together by then because I'll be 28 years old. So I better have a job, a home and someone to share it all with.

I know this post was vague, but that's what the future is. The future is unknown and for me, it's hard to write about the unknown. I know I could imagine where I'd want to be in five years, but that's vague too. All I can see is me coming home from work and giving my boyfriend/fiancé/husband (who knows what my relationship status will be then) a kiss. Maybe a couple good vacations thrown in there... I don't know, even my imagination is vague.

Who knows what the future has in store for all of us? I just want the simple things, nothing extravagant. All I want is a happy life full of adventures and people I care about. Now let me ask you, where do you see yourself in the next five years? Until next time.

Growing up, I loved to read. I cherished every visit to the bookstore and I had a collection of books in my room. I used to read a book a week it seemed like. But when you grow up, you get more responsibilities and less time to read.

Reading at a young age was really good for me. I enjoyed being read to by my parents, and eventually I enjoyed reading on my own. When I got old enough, I'd stay up late all because I got caught up in a book.

I spent a lot of quality time with my parents when we read fairytales and other classic children books. One of my favorite childhood books was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. You know the classic story, Sam-I-Am wants his grumpy friend to eat green eggs and ham. But the grumpy friend has never tried them and just assumes he will not like them. But after Sam-I-Am's pestering and nagging, the grumpy friend tries the green eggs and ham. The grumpy friend has a change of heart after trying then and indeed he likes green eggs and ham.

This book is great because it's all about trying new things and to not make any assumptions based on an object's appearance. Remember a time when you didn't want to eat vegetables because they didn't look good? You've come a long way since then, especially with your newfound diet consisting of kale and avocado. I bet before you read Green Eggs & Ham you never wanted to eat anything green.

I remember in kindergarten after we read the book, our teacher actually made us green eggs and ham. I was amazed that they actually existed. My five year old self had no idea there was such a thing as food dye.

Green Eggs & Ham is a classic book that every kid should read growing up. It's an easy read and it is the perfect starter book. And fun fact, the book only contains 50 different words.

What was your favorite childhood book? Did you ever get to try green eggs and ham? Let me know in the comment section! Until next time.

Food, it's an important part of our daily lives. Food helps keep us alive and gives us the energy we need to do all the things we need to do. Obviously there's food that's good for you and food that's not so good for you. It taste delicious but after a while it won't make you feel good. Everyone has their own taste and their own favorite kinds of food.

Food can bring people together. People go out on dates to restaurants, grab lunch and catch up with old friends, and I bet you remember those family dinners growing up. Food is such an important part of our culture. Think about all those food blogs out there and all those people who Instagram their food. So for today's challenge here are some of my favorite foods:

Salad I know it's an odd choice but I really like them. They're healthy and after eating one I feel good! It doesn't leave me feeling gross and icky after eating one. Plus salads can be so versatile! There's a bunch of different kinds of lettuce and dressing, and you can add all sorts of vegetables.

Cupcakes Yes I like to indulge with a cupcake every once and a while. I love to bake cupcakes and eat them. Or I love to go to Sprinkles and get a cupcake. Nothing is better than the Sprinkles sundae, a cupcake with ice cream in the middle. Now I don't eat cupcakes all the time, but you know you've got to treat yourself now and then.

Pasta As an Italian, I love pasta. Spaghetti, penne, fettuccine, gnocchi, etc. You get the idea. I don't discriminate when it comes to my pasta! Pasta is so versatile, there so many kinds of noodles and they can also be paired with all different kinds of sauces! I'm mainly a red sauce fan, but I don't mind a pesto or white sauce every once and a while.

Cookies! Call me the cookie monster because I love COOKIES. Chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut and sugar cookies are my favorites. But I'm never afraid to try a new kind of cookie. I love to bake cookies too, and you'll find me baking them when I'm craving something sweet.

Grilled Cheese Yes I am a child, I love grilled cheese. Nothing is better than cheese and bread put it together and you've got magic. It's such a simple meal that just tastes so good.

French Fries I love french fries probably just as much as the cookie monster loves cookies, maybe more. I love french fries. All of the french fries in the world. It's not the healthiest thing to love to eat, but I definitely want to try to make a healthy version of them.

Avocado Does that count? It should because I love avocado. I love to have it in my salad, on my sandwiches, in my quesadillas, etc. Basically if I can add avocado to it, it will be there. And yes I know it's extra.

Pretzels My favorite snack of all time! Whenever I go to a baseball game, I'll always get a salted pretzel with a side of cheese. But when I go to Disneyland, I get this special pretzel filled with jalapeño cheese. It is the most amazing thing of all time. And I love it. And growing up I loved Wetzel's Pretzels, and I get tempted every time I go to the mall.

Burritos The greatest creation of all time. They're so filling and filled with yummy goodness. I love a simple burrito like a bean and cheese, and I love a complex burrito like a vegetarian one from Chipotle filled so much my tortilla rips. I even enjoy breakfast burritos on occasion! Whoever thought of filling a tortilla with beans, rice, cheese and etc, is a genius.

Mozzarella Sticks I can't think of anything more delicious than fried cheese. Sure it's not the healthiest but it's so good. It's definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, it's something I'll get every once and a while.

I know with my favorite foods, they're all not the healthiest option out there. But that's okay, because I don't eat all these things all the time. And that's how it should be. If you ate something daily, odds are after a certain amount of time you wouldn't want to eat it anymore. Favorite foods are something you don't get so often so when you do get to eat them it makes them more enjoyable. Until next time.

The best trip of my life was back in 2001 and it was the first time I went to Europe with my family. I was eight years old and this was certainly the most interesting and entertaining trip, I've ever been on.

This trip was not your ordinary vacation. My brother was going to get married in Sweden, so my mom planned this wonderful two week summer vacation to go along with the wedding. We planned to go to: Paris, France, Malmo, Sweden, Copenhagen, Denmark, Amsterdam, Netherlands, Berlin, Germany, Munich, Germany, Geneva, Switzerland and Milan, Italy.

However a couple months before the trip, the wedding was called off. The trip was nonrefundable, so even though the wedding was not happening, our vacation sure was. Now my brother and the girlfriend did not take the whole trip with us. They were only in Sweden for the "wedding" and only my parents, my other brother and I went on the two week getaway.

As a child I enjoyed Paris the most, something about that city felt right to me. Maybe that's because in my mind, there was soft served ice cream and pastries everywhere. There was also a moment where my family left me in the hotel room by myself and I was terrified because I had no idea where they went. I got ice cream after that so everything was okay.

We traveled by train and that truly is the best way to travel in Europe. No matter where you are in Europe you'll always see the beautiful scenery. Plus there's nothing more amazing than riding a train throughout the European countryside.

There was even one train ride where we had to get on a ferry, and the train actually got put on the ferry, there was a track and everything. That little thing just amazed me at such a young age! A train on a boat?! How cool is that?

Copenhagen was one of my favorite cities on that trip and I'm dying to go back. I got to go to Tivoli Gardens, the world famous amusement park, and inspiration to Disneyland. My most favorite part of Copenhagen was seeing the Little Mermaid statue. Because you know me, Disney freak here, and I love the Little Mermaid! The Little Mermaid statue is in Denmark, because the author, Hans Christian Andersen, is Danish. Denmark is such a cute little fairytale like country and I loved it.

Another city I loved was Geneva, a beautiful Swiss city surrounded by a lake. Our hotel was supposed to be right on the water. Back then there was no Google Maps, so we could not look it up or see the Yelp reviews. Instead we had to trust our travel agent. Well our hotel was not on the lake, it actually was about a mile away and was the dirtiest place I had ever been to. So we went to the Hilton, which was actually on the lake, and checked to see if there were any rooms available. Luckily there were and we even got a suite after telling them our story about being duped. So we left the dumpy hotel and stayed at the Hilton.

Traveling to so many places at such a young age can have its disadvantages. A lot having to do with memories. There were some cities I really didn't remember seeing or remember anything about.

It's sad to say I barely remember being in Germany, because it's such a beautiful country and it's one of my mother lands. I remember some moments, but I don't remember being there. I'd love to go back and see what I can't remember and hopefully jog my memory.

I also don't remember being in Amsterdam. But that is because we didn't spend a lot of time there. We were there for a day trip I think, I know we didn't stay overnight. The reason why I don't remember it is because I slept through it. I think I was tired/jet lagged because there are several pictures of me sleeping in a taxi and at a restaurant. And I have chosen to not share those photos with you all today.

The major advantage of traveling at a young age is that once you start you never want to stop. Traveling can be an addiction, but it is a healthy one because when you see the world you learn a bunch of new things about the world you live and about yourself. This trip started my travel addiction, and I don't see it ever going away. Until next time.

Goal: the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result. We all have dreams that we want to come true, and setting goals is a great way to start making your own dreams come true. Because unfortunately, we're not like Cinderella or Aladdin, we can't have a magical being grant our wishes. We must grant our own.

Goal setting is the process of thinking about what you want in your future and making it happen. There's two type of goals: short term and long term. A short term goal is something small that take less time to accomplish. Short term goals tend to be a smaller part of your long term goals, meaning that they are steps that help you complete a long term goal. A long term goal is something you want to accomplish in the future.

There's even a holiday dedicated to setting goals and bettering ourselves. That's right, those pesky New Year's Resolutions. Some maintain them and keep them year round. While others forget about their resolutions about a month later.

There's a process when it comes to goal setting and this little article is a great read about personal goal setting. It describes the seven steps of setting your personal goals and offers a lot of great tips. Based on this article the seven steps are:

1. Decide what you want (simple enough)
2. Write it down (this can help you remember and motivate you!)
3. Set a deadline (give yourself a realistic time frame)
4. Create a list with steps (what needs to be done to accomplish your goal?)
5. Organize and prioritize (what matters to you?)
6. Take action (you're one step closer!)
7. Make progress (do a little day by day)

Once you get in the habit of working to accomplish your goals it's important to persevere and not give up. Keep track of what you've accomplished and reward yourself for it! Another great thing to do is to share your goals with your friends and family because it's always great to have someone cheer you on! So I'll take the first step, and share my goals with you. So here are five of my current goals:

1. Find a job in my field so I can gain experience in my craft.
2. Continue blogging and vlogging frequently.
3. Get in better shape, by eating healthier and exercising daily.
4. Read at least 25 books a year.
5. Be more organized and use my planner as much as possible!

Those are my five current goals, and I'm slowly making progress! Sharing them today helped motivate me to accomplish them. What are your goals? I'd love to read them in the comment section below. Thanks for reading and until next time.

Music surrounds us all. We hear it on the radio when we're in our cars. We hear it in our favorite TV shows, movies and even in those pesky commercials we all hate. We choose to listen to the music we enjoy on our devices through a variety of platforms. Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, iTunes, Youtube and etc, all make listening to the songs we love and enjoy that much easier.

It is a key part of our culture, because music reflects it. Some songs take on deeper meanings and talk about issues and events that have happened in that artist's life. And we can connect to them on a deeper level. Or some songs make us think of moments in our lives and we connect to a song that way.

But other songs just connect to us on emotional level and there is no deeper meaning to it. Those are the fun songs that we simply enjoy because they make us feel good. Some music is meant to be fun and listened to for pure entertainment.

Personally, I like music that makes me feel. I have different songs I listen to especially when I want to channel a certain emotion. I have happy music for when I want to be happy. Sad music for when I'm in a not so good mood and I need a good cry. Angry music for when I want to break something, I don't listen to these songs often. But my point is there's different songs made for different emotions.

Like I mentioned in my first Radio Roundup, the radio has the power to kill a song by overplaying it. The radio can give a song life and death, it's really full circle if you think about it. But there are those rare songs that are immortal and can not be overplayed and are always great whenever you listen to them. So here are five songs that you'll always find me listening to:

• Six Feet Under the Stars by All Time Low

This is one of my favorite songs by All Time Low. They are my favorite band it was one of the first songs I really fell in love with by them. The song makes me happy and it calms down me and relaxes me when I'm stressed. I like listening to the story being told and imagining how it would play out as if it was a movie.

• Curiosity by Carly Rae Jepsen

Anyone who says Carly Rae Jepsen is just a one hit wonder clearly has not listened to any of her other songs, and has only listened to Call Me Maybe. In fact her whole album Kiss is filled with amazing pop songs and Call Me Maybe is clearly not the best on the entire album. Curiosity is a a fun pop song you can just dance and sing a long to. And warning, it may get stuck in your head.

• Hanging On by Ellie Goulding ft. Tinie Tempah

This is a cover Ellie Goulding did back in 2012 and this is probably one of my favorite songs of all time. Something about Ellie's voice is just so powerful and Tinie Tempah's rap really adds to the song. This song is powerful song about heartbreak and moving on. I was never a big fan of the original version, but Ellie gave it a lot of flair and made it come alive.

• Night by Night by Chromeo

This song was my ringtone for the longest time, and I'm still not sick of it. It's a fun song to groove to and it has a unique beat. I still jam to this song, and I think I'm going to make it my ringtone again. Chromeo has had a lot of good songs, they are really good band that needs to be checked out.

• Fancy by Iggy Azaela ft. Charli XCX

This song may be an unpopular choice because of Iggy's current reputation. She's not the most popular artist out there because of the things she's said. But just because she has a big mouth and doesn't know when stop talking, that doesn't change or affect my love for her song Fancy. This is my fun sassy song where I channel my inner gangster. I love this song, it has so much character and it's a fun listen. Who dat? Who dat? I-G-G-Y.

So there you have it, these are the five songs I don't think I can ever get sick of. Every time I hear them, it's like it's the first time I'm listening to it. These songs bring me so much joy, and that's what music should do. Thanks for reading and until next time.

This is Fear, you may know him from Disney/Pixar's new film Inside Out. Fear is one of the many emotions in Riley's head. But Riley isn't the only one who experiences fear, we all do. The reason why I bring up Inside Out is because I think this movie did a great job of showing us how our emotions work and they brought them to life in an amazing way. If you have not seen Inside Out yet, I highly recommend that you do because it is pure genius and it will give you a new outlook on your emotions.

The topic for today, is what I am afraid of. Fear is a crazy thing. Sometimes fear can be so strong, it keeps you from living your life happily. Other times, fear can help save your life. The purpose of the emotion, fear, is to protect us and look out for potential danger. Sometimes fear can even be the dominant emotion, but from what I learned in Inside Out, it's that there should never be one dominant emotion, instead all emotions should work together as a team to keep us fully functioning.

As humans, we all get scared and we all certainly have fears. There are thousands of phobias out there, from arachnophobia (the fear of spiders) to zoophobia (the fear of animals). Everyone has something they are afraid of, but fear doesn't make you weak. Every time you face a fear, you get a little bit stronger. And honestly, if you're body is telling you something is wrong or scary, there's 99% it's for a good reason.

So here's the part where I get personal and I list several of my fears:

• Bugs, except like butterflies, lady bugs, rollie pollies, you know cute bugs
• Snakes, reptiles, rodents. Not a fan at all
• Public speaking, it never ends well
• Needles and blood, this one is serious, this one makes me light headed
• The dark, not a fan, cant't even sleep in it. Forever leaving my TV on
• Fire, something about it just scares me. I hate matches and lighters but controlled fires like in a fire place or fire pit are always okay
• Wasps and bees, simply because I don't want to get stung

I'm going to stop there because that's all I can think of. Now you all know how to scare me so that's cool. Thanks for reading and until next time!
