      Sometimes it is hard to think about the future, especially when you are young and you feel a little bit lost in this big world. I have anxiety so it is complicated to make plans, because I get frustrated and overwhelmed if something does not work the way it should. There are days that I do not even want to think about my life. Those days I just want to follow my routine and I look forward to my bedtime.       Although it can be difficult to make plans and try to accomplish them, I am trying my best. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I do it right. Most of the time I am feeling too tired, but I keep holding on. Even when I am scared about the future, I know that I will have to get there eventually, so I make good plans. These plans keep me motivated.       For example: I will be dating by 25 years old. I probably overestimate romances, but I would really like to have a partner. Not just for cuddling and kissing, but also sharing good moment...

The artist I chose to write about is Karla Camila Cabello-Estrabao, better known as Camila Cabello. Camila Cabello was born on March 3, 1997 in Havana, Cuba. She got the American citizenship in 2008. At first, she moved just with her mother to the USA, her father came later. It was really difficult, because her mother’s degree was not accepted in the new country. She attended Miami Palmetto High School but she left in the 2012–2013 school year, while she was in 9th grade, to pursue her singing career (she later earned her high school diploma). That’s when she auditioned for the X-Factor (first, as a solo singer) and later joined the girl group Fifth Harmony. Cabello and her band-mates released one EP and two studio albums. Her departure from the group was announced on December 18th, 2016.  In 2017, Cabello prepared the release of her debut solo album.

Blumenau, located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, also known as the beer capital or small Germany, has different activities for every taste and age. The famous Oktoberfest party takes place in October, and is one of the events that attracts more tourists to the city. With typical delicious dishes, the most famous one is the stuffed potato. But besides Oktoberfest, Blumenau has great places to enjoy the night and the weekends. During the day, Ramiro Ruediger Park is a perfect option on sunny days, with places for sports and fun, as well as a nice playground for children. My favorite night spot is called Factory , a relatively small club, but there are different events every weekend and great and very respectful people having fun.
