"Minorities" in Society, SAY WHAT????!?!? RANT

WARNING:::

This started as a post about an RIT Women in Engineering Article and turned into a rant about how minorities and people want to represent themselves and lift up oppression and what not. I think its perspective is basically what I'm saying, I am equal I do not see my self as anything else.

Because I go to to a predominately Tech/Engineering School I forget that not everyone is all sciency/mathy.

Most of my friends through out my life have been girls, and I've always been somewhat girly but a geek at heart.

Now in college I have way more guy friends and have way more guys than girls In my classes. I have never looked at my self as different or beneath anyone else.

I went to Catholic School and High school in the suburbs so basically have always been surrounded by white people. Yet I did not feel the need to associate myself with only Hispanic people, or talk with a "g" accent and dress all miss ghetto fab.

Yes I did not fit in when I lived in the city and was called "white girl", which I did not understand I am TAN PEOPLE, kinda caramely colored.

Our society labels everything as acting "White" &"Black" ect. , where Hispanic people are expected to act all miss.ghettofab & whatnot I am sorry but that is not me.

I'm just fab & broke but I'm not gonna be acting like another stereotype..maybe just joke about it

RANT

Yes I speak like I am an educated person, yes I speak english damn it! Don't try to speak Spanish to me you ignorant non-Hispanic person!

[[Exception roomie Emily but she's not ignorant and actually knows how to speak Spanish, the honorary Hispanic **]]

No, I'm not gonna give you a discount because you tan, I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!

....And NO I AM NOT DOMINICAN/PUERTO RICAN for the millionth & one time!!!

NO I don't extra money because I am a double minority in my field, I get more financial aid because I is very broke and am attempting to get a quality education regardless!

(parents are pastors nonsense, basically work as nonprofit, do the math)

& NO I am not bad at English/grammar because I am hispanic, I is bad at English because I like math and science, duh!

(also I talk exactly as I speak, I am hearing my voice in my head as I write or vice versa, damn it i confused myself again)

Not gonna lie, I tried to fit in when I lived in Queens, NY had my big hoop earrings and faux diamond name belt when I wasn't wearing my catholic school girl uniform. Moved to suburbs & made my own identitity did not conform to the A&F and Hollister (yea people it looks exactly the same because its UNCREATIVE)

I totally get this whole trying to represent minorities in more fields

I think the problem is not rooted in because "Oh we is minorities" nonsense, People have conformed.

It's like that thing they tell you in psych, minorities will not do as good on standardized test because it is statistic and it is now expected.

We have CONFORMED to societies expectations instead of placing expectations on ourselves and placing Goals for our lives.

STOP giving your fellow minorities a bad name and poor stats, just because statitics say that there are few minorities in college doesn't mean it's OKAY for you not to go.

Goals+Education=Career=Money$=advancing society and economy for the better

Its simple. [[explained in words & math I'm good]]

Chemical Engineer Woman we will BLOW YOUR MIND!

I am a Gecko not Geico

Ahh Childhood, It was a beautiful time where all attention was on me I got all the toys. When I played basketball, dance, choir, karate, guitar, piano, and I'm sure many more and then just quit and my parent's were completely okay with that because I was a spoiled only child.

Then IT came came when I was eight years old. IT seems nice and cute and the idea was beautiful. I thought It would make my life so much better. IT lied and decieved me, IT was my little sister!!!!! (whom we shall we refer to as IT, seems appropriate)

It was hard living in my block all the kids were older than me, althought they liked playing with me and carrying me around until they became teenagers and too preoocupied with those icky things called boyfriend. It was a sad lonely time for me, then on a valentines day my parents told me I was going to have a little sister, yay a new doll for me to play with.

I bought IT the latest baby gap clothes so IT could come into this world stylish. It was lovely waiting. Then as IT finally came, my cousin Doug and I were so excited to finally meet IT.

"Ah how precious" - Family

"EW, what is that, it looks like a white monkey"-Doug

SLAP "That's your baby cousin!" - Aunt

"Gross"-Me&Doug

It was all a lie!!! IT wasn't here to make my life better and be my new toy! IT came to ruin it! Well little miss thing is now ten years old, and oh my goodness! The crying and the pooping and the need to pull on my long curly hair has turned into this never ending speaking frenzy. It is not the BIEBER and such other Disney& Child Stars. This girl has not learned the names the nine, oh I mean eight planets [[ RIP PLUTO ]] but she can tell you which Disney kid is dating which Twilight minion. She does not feel the need to do her homework even though it consists of looking up word definitions, gosh the internet is so difficult to use!.

IT's biggest worry is having the most styling clothes from Aeropastale and Hollister because P.S Aero (the kids Aero) is for little children. Her biggest concern is watching Glee and Lost [[yes shows I watch]]. She talks of boyfriends and shopping. But what irks me the most is this Little things attitudes. We live in the suburbs yet she feels like she is from the hood and does this head twist which makes her look like a bobble head.

As I have mentioned before I am Studying Chemical Engineering. I was not a complete nerd as A child but I did love learning about why things where the way they were and found math to be like a fun puzzle, I still do and love learning new things. Many may have told me I do not "Look" smart. Yes I in fact am like many girls obsessed with clothes and shoes more than technology, I said I like learning not knowing how to code In fact I shock my self when I use the internet for something other than this here blog/facebook/twitter and gazing at clothes online. Actually wait I rarely ever use it for anything other than that, lets act like homework counts.

Because of this is makes me it makes me sad that IT is lacking in the intellectual department. She has no interest when I tell her cool sciency facts but instead finds interest In the clothes and shoes I have bought and watching television. My greatest fear is she becomes a high school drop out and freelance artist. Or wost!, graduate in 4+ years at Rockland Community College.

Hmm, well maybe she will be the Fashion Designer I always wanted to be, but went with a career that guaranteed me a job. Maybe she will be a lucky artist and get her big break, maybe her flute will get her places. Maybe she doesn't need school and education, I would say she would be a Liberal Art major but reading,spelling, knowledge doesn't seem to be her thing.

At least I have hope, my little three year old baby brother, [[that's another story]] He is very smart although he seems to me leaning more towards the evil genius path, but at least there is the Genius path.

No offense to anyone

who is studying/working/going to community college for doing something you love and are talented at. I envy you all because

1. I lack artistic/musical/athletic/any talent at all and must rely on my brain [[which rarely works]]

2. you find joy in doing something you love and are good at that doesn't require extensive years of college/graduate school/ continuous cramming/lab

3. you love something that doesn't involve chemistry & physics. Which I love [[minus physics tests]]but stress me out and require lots of studying and long work.

I'm sure everything else is just as hard or harder that isn't science&engineering but hey I am going to think mine is the hardest just as everyone else does.

PS: My little sister is reffered to Geicko for her striking bodily resemblance to it.

PS2: My sister is actually quite entertaining, talented,smart and very pretty just lazy

Taking 2nd Year by the horns!

So far this summer I've been bored at home jobless/carless and loaded with little children crazyness.

Due to my lack of exciting things to do I have been plotting my take over of second year at RIT.

I have declared that this year shall be filled with way more fun.

btw anyone looking to give me a job I'm desperate

Plan 1. Build an amazing waterslide

Plan One

This will consist of a water slide coming of the third story balcony apartment next year at the Province.

After seeing the homemade water slide it really got me thinking, well more like scheming.

As a child we all fantasize about having a water slide come out of our rooms into the pool, well I did anyways.

This shall have to reach from our apartment building to the club house pool.

Thus it will need to have a loop-de-loop, some spirals to extend to it, also my future neighbor suggested a RING OF FIRE.

It breaks off in one section passes through the RING OF FIRE where you fly onto the second portion of this slide.

THAT IS NOT ALL!

After a long day of studying & stress you will want to relax on this amazing slide but how shall you ever remember this adventure?

( RIT uses too much of our brain cells to remember such things)

Have no fear we shall take your picture for a small fee :) in addition to the ride. he he he

Help support

The Broke College Students Trying to Pay Off Their Sweet Apartment Fund

yes long charity i know just roll with it.

But what happens during those long Rochester winter??

It becomes a Ski/snowboarding rail of course!!

but what about when there is no snow??

Skate Board RAMP!

Yes I have a plan for everything :)

Plan 2: Taunt the Arizonan Police

Plan 2

Just to remind everyone:

I AM NOT, I repeat NOT MEXICAN!

I am GUATEMALAN, from Guatemala born HERE in USA

(THATS NOT MEXICO it's right below it in central america)

So in support of my adopted RIT "parents" and to mess with those Arizonan Immigration Cops we shall be riding dirty in these cars.

Me and my non-mexican/mexican/& hispanic friends shall ride in cars with the following suggested slogans

" I'm Mexican and stole this car, Pull me over"

" I'm hispanic so your probablly gonna pull me over too..."

""I'm Hispanic, but you probably think thats Mexican, Come Get Me!"

"Guess How many Illegals in here!"

[This is think would throw them off if it was driven by white people :) ]

Once pulled over BAM!

US Birth Certificate Pulled out of my back pocket!

Why yes, nowadays us tan people carry it around in our pockets just in case.

So be aware all you people who are slightly tan, yes you people that like to sit in the sun.

Possibly the Sicilians, light black people, all these different mixed people.

Yup we are all cursed for our pretty shade of skin now.

But seriously C'mon Hispanic people, stop giving us a bad name,

we wouldn't be in this mess If you just stopped making the white people's lawns all pretty!

Anyways onwards to plan three....

Plan 3. Make some beer, after all I am a ChemE

Plan 3

One of the very amazingly cool things about being a Chemical Engineering is ....

The beer making process.

[Personally I'd prefer the vodka making process thats just me.]

But I figure Hey I should know how to do this.

So this is something I need to learn with my fellow ChemE's on how to do just because we should.

Plus side , I could finally find a beer I like, [carbonation makes my tummy feel funny.]

Plus Plus side, making our own beer would be useful and more financially effective because

A: we are college kids aka broke

B: Kinda more legalish

after all it is illegal to PURCHASE alcoholic beverages under 21 no one said make right ?

Plan 4. GEEKtini's

Plan 4

I don't actually like beer as afore mentioned, so in order to celebrate my schemes and wonderful times at RIT Some Pi-Tini's.

I am at a Tech School, even if you are an Art student you have morphed and adapted to the Dorkness that is RIT (Sorry Gramama ).

Yes I think this is incredibly cute and adorable to have some Pi shaped Ices to decorate with.

If schemes go good, celebrate and relax. If schemes fail, enjoy and soak in refreshing PiTini's.

....

Well This is my second post so sorry if it sucks/is too lengthy got carried away

Thank you to my Hispanics :) for telling me I scheme too much

& My ChemE's for loving beverages with me!!!

Life with out Glee

I want to sing

I get this feeling every so often when I watch a musical or a show like glee, which I can't think of any others.

But seriously I wish it was completely acceptable to just break out in song whenever you want

I also wish

a. I could sing very well

b. wasn't scared of singing in front of people

c. Be on glee

d. or a showchoir

I have followed Glee Since the beginning and now my summer has no more Glee to look forward.

GossipGirl doesn't come back until this fall :(

Trying to watch all of Lost has lost my attention

Solutions: aka my alternatives
