So I decided to sort of...start my own ratemyprofessors.com profile. HAHAHA I submitted my name down, but they have YET to add my name to the UCI list of professors. Why won't you love me? It's my goal this year to get a chili pepper next to my name. Booyah.
And on another side note, I hate it when some of my cousins tell me to not take things for granted and to aim high. Okay first of all (and this is only directed to the lazy cousins), back it up and tell me what the hell I am taking for granted. I feel as though they might think I'm some brat because I just happened to get into UCI, get good grades, and get gifts from my parents occasionally. Maybe it's how I dress too? I don't know. I always get the feeling as though they think I don't understand the value of a dollar and that I don't know what it means to work hard. However, I do. I currently work as a tutor, I have an internship, I'm an active board member for my honor society, and I have moderate grades as well as fanfuckingtastic friends and family. I'm actually trying to set-up my own private tutoring because I get so bored on the weekends. I'm also trying to actively build relationships with professors, graduate in 3 years, and teach my own seminar next spring. So bottom line: Don't tell me what to do, especially when you haven't held a job in years, sap off of your parents (at least I pay for my clothes and food) and have no career plans. In addition, one of my cousins which this rant is directed to is a computer science major. So, I suggested that he apply for an internship at Google or some other internet firm in Irvine because there's a lot that offer positions; you know what he said? "Oh, I don't think I should. I would expect them to want someone with experience. So why try?" All I could think was "You lazy whore." How will you ever know if you don't try? Maybe they have a position that fits your current capabilities? If they want someone with experience, why don't YOU become that person with experience? How are you ever supposed to get anywhere by doing nothing? No one is going to wipe your ass anymore and you aren't going to get any job without applying. It's like saying: how can you win the lottery without even buying a ticket? I hate how some of my cousins think that some miracle job is just going to fall into their lap. The world doesn't work like that lovelies. If you want something, you work for it because you are going to be competing with a shit ton of ugly bitches and whores. Also, you would think that if a person kept telling themselves that the company wants someone with experience, then this red light would flash in their head that would mean to get off their butt and get experience. Goodness. I hate it when I see unmotivated people, especially in collegio. I personally think that a kid going to college to spend $20K + only to not study, to not participate, to not "find themselves" which by the way does not fucking happen in college IMO, is the biggest "screw you" to their parents. Your parents think you're worth the investment. They think you're worth the time. They think you're worth the ridiculous thousands of time and effort. Shit, if my kid just partied all day in college, I'd tell him straight up to drop out of college. If he wants to party, then he can party--but he ain't doing it with my money. I'll tell him to get a job and once he's off work he can party as much as possible. You don't have to go to college to have fun.
