@QueenN22 omggggggg why are people so ignorant. I am always told "you can’t be mexican (i am not I am ecuadorian but people are ignorant, what they mean is hispanic) you don’t even look like one"n
Just swinging by from the Yale SCEA class of 2020 thread since I heard that acceptances are coming out for you guys tomorrow.
Super annoying we have to wait until Tuesday, but absolutely best of luck to you all!! Some of you(those lucky enough to get in) will end up making an amazing start to Harvard class of 2020.
Yale rules Harvard drools! JK!
Also, how did you guys manage to get 250+ pages!? We are only at 40+…
@freenfly We talk about anything and everything.
@freenfly A LOT of random conversations haha. And asking when the decisions come out…over and over and over and over.
I find that a classical operatic composition, such as Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, or Mozart’s Kyrie Requiem in D minor, can be quite soothing to one’s nerves.
@tuty143 Like really! I already have enough problems but sorry I didn’t turn out who you would want me to be. Well honey, I don’t live for you
@freenfly because Harvard rules and Yale drools
@QueenN22 O.O wow… people have said insensitive things to me before but like wow… I still don’t bother saying anything just because I don’t want it to strain the relationship if I’m not that close to them bc it’s like why bother I’ll never see them again but it’s probably a good thing to try to enlighten people
I did my essay on mistaken identity because I identify as Ethiopian but most people can’t tell so they think I’m Indian, Arabic, or just “African-American” which I technically am but the issue is they’re thinking of a different culture when they say that. Plus Ethiopian immigrants assume I’ve been Americanized and think I can’t understand what they’re saying sigh. I also wrote about my sister, because she’s younger than me so she’s more “American” than I am, so she’s gotten really screwed over by white standards of beauty and has really low self esteem which makes me so sad and angry
@Drewwwfoo I’m not a kbbq family–vegetarian, so not really my thing. Huge fan of soon tofu though!
As a great man once said: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” I found that these words did not inspire me as an individual, but rather as the collective human spirit.
@LymanZerga ooo, a classical enthusiast! awesome! although i hate operas
@freenfly Because I constantly have “story time” where I describe my strange life
@lanflan Understandable! Miso soup is delicious.
just wondering if anyone has plans to celebrate tomorrow if things work out…
@james1998iq No worries, if you are interested I might be able to prescribe you Saint Saens’ Carnival of the Animals XIV Finale, or if you are feeling especially emotional, Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3.
@QueenN22 I totally relate to your holding back from putting your essay up for the same sort of reason. My essay is about my experience with poverty and starts with a quote from a girl who made a very insulting remark about those who have financial hardship. It sounds nicer than it is… unfortunately I am too nervous and proud to post it. Kind of different but same kind of taboo.
@lilypippili it was even worse because we were watching like the whole MLK/Rosa Parks documentary and this was said. It just hard cause I’m usually the only black person in the class and while I do have white, Asian and etc friends, people will always make sure that you are aware that you are different.
I’m sorry about your sister and I feel for her because I was in her position a couple of years ago. You know what I shouldn’t be ashamed of what my essay topic was about, I’m gonna say it. It was about my experience with skin bleaching.
