<p>while i do love all the suggested majors and programs and what not,
i’ve got a pretty good idea of what i’d like to do.
and an engineer is entirely out of the question,
i suuuck at math.</p>
<p>but i don’t really think an art program is the route i’d like to go either. i’m more of the “i’m going to spray paint masking tape in neon pink, and use it to spell out a revised set of the ten commandments, edited and modernized to fit the selfish, consumer, greedy ass agenda of American big business, and polyurethane the message on the wall of a half-constructed shopping plaza.” i’m like, a social commentary, make you wanna think kind of artist. and while then again, it wouldn’t hurt to learn some new technique and whatnot TO get the message accross, never in a thousand years would my parents ever, ever ever ever pay for art. haha.</p>
<p>but the suggestions are very sweet, thanks much! :D</p>
<p>so with that said, as the city is my canvas, i’d need to go to a college in a major city. i’d need to get my message across, and to do that, you always need an accomplice. the kids i’ve encountered that have their eyes set on ivies would never ever, never ever ever do anything that could potentially “ruin their futures” or “upset those who are in charge”. i don’t mean to say that ALL ivy leaguers are like that, but from what i’ve noticed, the majority are into going by the books and maintianing spotless, shining records so their future career as secretary-of-state won’t reveal some scandal from their youth.</p>
<p>i personally think that usc would be a good comprimise between my parents “ivy gung ho” adittude and my “can’t i just chill?” adittude, but even that’d be a reach!</p>
<p>and i don’t think the comment about going to an hbcu was meant as rascist or derogetory, i just think it was a suggestion because it could be something that my parents would be open to, after all, my mom’s best friend’s daughter went to spellman and my mom just LOVES her. and while that is an option, it’d be a touchy subject haha, in my family i’m basically the black chick that gets made fun of for being too white, even though there’s not a drop of caucasian in me as far as i know! but my cousins and siblings and basically everyone i’m related to just looove to hate on me for being a vegan and not liking radio hip hop and not being able to dance and it’d just be tragic. haha, it’d be like my wonderfully liberal self going to vanderbilt…which i hear is very conservative.</p>
<p>and while my mom would be down for a really good womens college, considering that she went to a part of rutgers that was all-ladies, my dad wouldn’t be down. he’s convinced i’m not quite straight, which while i’m not against that, it’s not the case with me…i like boys, haha, but daddy thinks otherwise so never in a million years would he let me go. and also, i don’t think i’d want to, just because of the lack of boys…haha.</p>
<p>but um, yeah, i’m generally not the close minded one, but i’ve done quite a bit of college research and i’m just not feeling the ivies. i don’t want to go to one. the problem at hand is that my parents think i’m crazy, or an alien, or possibly both for thinking this way.</p>
