My Skill: Learn Any Language
You read the title correctly. If I were to master any skill, it would be to learn any language. Not to learn language instantly or already know it instinctually, but to be able to learn a new language in an adequate amount of time, in spite of my ADHD. Knowing a second language is useful…

Message to My 20-year-old Self

Gobbledy-Book, Thanks-A-Latte, Or..?
As a Latin-American who grew up in Miami, cafés are an important part of my upbringing. Coffee, tea, pastries, and croquetas–if I didn’t eat at una cafetería for brunch over the weekend, then I was stopping by one after school for a late day snack.
