Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’ve been watching stephenvlog on youtube (check it out its amazing) and I watched a video about how stephen made so many friends and stuff how is collage better and worse then high school?

I have a STRONG passion for guns, video games/pc’s/ and anything with two or four wheels and a engine.
Guns: would love to work pn and or build/design guns. Always have been fascinated with them. Could catch my inner artist with engraving and design. Note not a hudge demand so idk 🙁
Video games/pc: love games. Would like to upgrade from a console to a nice pc. Want to learn how to build/work on/repair pc’s AND OR design video games.
Engines and trucks/cars: always loved em. Since a small child with hotwheels in the sand. I love these i would like to learn how to build/work on/repair em.
What classes and which job would make a better paying and long lasting (always in demand) job trade to take up classes in college?

I am originally from a liberal city in Northern California. All four years of high school I dreamt of going to college in Southern California. I was forced to go to a small, all girls Catholic high school by my mother. It was really a horrible social experience, and I stuck with my two best friends who were b*tches. I was pretty much sticking it out until I could go to an awesome college. I imagined the typical college experience being in warm weather, partying, and being in a sorority.
I ended up getting rejected from all of my California schools, but I got accepted to Boston College which is ranked about 30th in the country. I was really against going, but my mom pushed it upon me. We also got about half financial aid. There were a lot of factors that played into it, but first semester I basically failed all of my classes. That’s what you get when you unwillingly ship me across the country. I realize it was a terrible mistake and I do feel a lot of guilt. I am now back at the evening school making up credits and doing much better this semester.
The school is not a completely miserable place, but I just feel like it’s not for me. I am against the basic idea of it: a small, religious affiliated college in FREEZING weather. The social scene is horrible. The kids are most often wealthy, sheltered, and very judgmental. The people are pale and not good looking. It is very hard for me to relate to students here, and although there are exceptions, I know that if I graduate from here I am going to have a lot of resentment toward the school and less friends than I would at another school. Students who think like me and want to party would definitely avoid this school. One of the only friends I made here is a senior guy who hates the school, regrets not transferring, and lives off campus. He recommended that I transfer. I just don’t think it’s ironic that he is one of the coolest people I’ve met in college.
On to logistics: I ruined my GPA and chances of transferring directly from the school. I could do community college at home, but I have a horrible family situation (bipolar father who talks to himself and is doing badly, and overbearing argumentative mother) and I would be 50 times more miserable than at BC. Leaving home was a big part of me going to college. It is also hard to get classes and would probably take over 2 years to graduate. All CA community colleges have a guaranteed transfer program to UCSB where you need only a 3.2 GPA to get in. I was thinking I could go to community college in Santa Barbara because it is the number one community college in the country. People come from all over the world and there is housing. It would be about $17,000 per year for community college while BC for us is about $60,000 per year for us. I would hardly care if I didn’t make friends because I would be so ecstatic to be living in that area. I would also have the ability to transfer out to a school like UCLA or USC, or perhaps go back to BC (doubtfully).
I don’t want to sound like a spoiled brat, but I just feel like the cost of BC is not worth what it will get me in the future. Because I have the benefit of being a California resident, I can get guaranteed transfer to UCSB which is ranked about 10 places below BC, but higher for social aspects. If I change my mind, I can transfer to UCLA. At BC, I am in the Arts and Sciences although I would like to major in something business related. It is well known that is basically impossible to transfer to the business school, so my only option is to major in Economics within A&S, and who knows maybe I will hate this major?!
My mom calls me an idiot and says she will not pay for SBCC. Yet she will continue to pay for BC even though it is likely to not get me anywhere? I would just like to direct her money in the most efficient way where I can be happy, and I feel like SBCC is a great, responsible choice, and I am willing to get a job while I am there. It will also give me time to figure out what I want and to get familiar with Southern California. UCSB is also great academically, and starting over I will be able to get my GPA up and get more job prospects. I am also interested in working in California after college, and companies here are more familiar with UCs than BC.
I would certainly stick it out at BC if I was in the business school and if I was interested in working in the Northeast, or if the CC system in California did not have a guaranteed transfer program. There are a lot of great things about BC and it’s cool to be around people from all over the country, but I am not sure that it’s worth it. I would certainly go to community college at home if my home situation wasn’t so depressing/distracting, and if the CCs here were actually good. I would also be extremely socially deprived and probably become very depressed.

I had a lot to say about my college, and I ended up writing way more than I intended. I don’t want to sound rude or offend the school, but I tried to be as rational and logical as possible. I would also like to know if it is well-written as well.
How are whiteness, wealth and heterosexuality normalized at Boston College by students, faculty, and administrators. How could such normalization be challenged? How does Joiner’s work help you to make change more effectively?
Boston College’s student population primarily consists of wealthy, Caucasian, heterosexual males and females. Anything outside of this description is considered out of the majority. One way in which whiteness is normalized by the administration of BC is the “AHANA” group, which consists of students of African- American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American descent. Although this is meant to be helpful to people of cultures other than Caucasian and to help minorities find common ground, it is essentially labeling minorities and placing them into a separate category from the rest of the student body. Caucasians are not given a special acronym or advantages upon entering the school, and I believe this AHANA label is counterproductive to its purpose. Cultural groups should be something optional, something that a student joins because they are interested and would like to explore their culture. In fact, many students that are labeled “AHANA” do not identify with their cultures at all and have grown up in wealthy suburban neighborhoods with mostly Caucasian peers. They then come to BC and are de-normalized by essentially being grouped and labeled by administration. Although this is not the intention, if BC genuinely sees minorities as normal and equal, this label does not need to be automatically placed upon minority students entering the school.
Wealth is normalized at BC by its administration and students. The school has an extremely high tuition cost, lack of generous financial aid, legacy acceptances, and a religious/private affiliation. BC is a popular place to apply among Catholic high schools, which are most often optional and cost thousands of dollars per year. Therefore, the majority of students who apply to BC come from well off families who could afford a private, Catholic education. BC administration could work on cutting down on costs that are not absolutely necessary and offering more financial aid to deserving students, as well as rejecting students who are not. With such a large portion of wealthy students who are able to pay full tuition, it is no wonder that many students wear designer clothing items and accessories to class that make it visible that they have been able to pay the extra money. When a large portion of students are this way, it may make people who come from different socioeconomic levels feel inferior, when in fact it is because they are at an abnormally expensive university. Students could challenge this by not wearing clothing items which have large logos on them or designer patterns, but it is majorly up to the university administration to be more generous with financial aid and perhaps advertise it so that students who come from lower socioeconomic levels are not automatically discouraged from applying. In addition, simply wavering the large application fee of $70 would encourage less wealthy students to apply, as BC is a competitive school, and underprivileged students may feel like they do not have a great chance and that such a large fee is not worth the money.
BC administration normalizes heterosexuality due to its label as a religious school. Homosexuality goes against Catholicism, so it is likely that homosexual students will steer away from applying or attending a religious affiliated school due to feeling uncomfortable. If they would like to attract a more diverse body of students, they should drop their label as religious but still have the religious aspect available to students so that no student feels they should be a certain way. Although people of all religions are welcome and religion is not pushed upon students, the label as Jesuit narrows down on the type of students who apply: heterosexual, Caucasian, Catholics. Although the Jesuit ideals of education of the whole person are intended to be beneficial for everyone, it still tends to attract religious, conservative students who can pay the high price of a private college. There are still masses held for students, crosses in most classrooms, and a theology core required. One could challenge this by proposing the idea that if BC’s main goal is to produce successful students, they should solely label themselves an academic school with religious aspects available to all types of religions, as well as diversifying its groups and activities to homosexual students. Although dropping the religious affiliation is an extreme change and the student body has diversified over time, it is the basis of the student homogeneity issue.

It is hard to find a private, Catholic college with a large number of students who are gay and non-Caucasian, particularly in a state such as Massachusetts. BC administration should realize that college is a place where people should be opened up
