"But I can't see borrowing that amount of money for a degree in art, or humanities, or sociology, because the jobs just don't pay as well for those fields of study," he said
There has bee a new repayment plan coming out soon for student with debts called income-based repayment in short IBR. this plan can reduce those payments and make them more manageable. I hope this plan does work so more student get really get on with their lives after graduating.
Women In Today's Society
Women and men have always had conflicting differences since the beginning of time. Natural given characteristics to both sexes whether they be physical or mental have always been quite different amongst the two sexes. In modern time women and men are gaining the same amount of power, while in the past men were the only holders of power. Women still face different obstacles that men do not, though things are looking up for the female’s future.
In the absence of gender socialization, some believe that gender differences would not even exist. If a young girl was treated exactly the same as her young brother from infancy to young adulthood there’s a chance that the drastic gender differences would be non-existent. However, whether or not young girls played with dolls as a young age or boys played war, girls will still have a maternal instinct and the boys will have a more aggressive mentality. Men are built physically stronger than women and therefore tend to be drawn toward more physical activities and more labor oriented jobs, while women usually find other interests. Besides the physical differences between women and men there are plenty of mental differences among the two sexes. Women are generally more emotionally driven while men are usually goal oriented, so even in the absence of gender socialization, women and men even if treated equally from the start are still going to have vast differences.
Throughout the last 100-300 years the changes that women have seen and been affected by have been phenomenal. Women have gained a lot of ground in politics, the work force, and even more power within their own households. There was a time in history when women were unable to voice their opinion in politics being unable to cast a vote or run for office, and now in modern time there are more than one woman running in the presidential campaign. The work force is filled with powerful women who lead as executives for large companies like Indra Nooyi CEO of Pepsi, or Speaker of the House Nancy Peolosi, these women are in powerful positions that were never filled by women long time ago. Besides the bigger more noticeable changes that have widely affected the world, there has been a subtle change of the role women play in the household. Overtime women have gone from being the “housewife”, or the primary homemakers and caretakers of the children while men earn the money. Now women and men can both be the bread winners, the stereotypical role place on women is slowly dissolving and both spouse/parents are sharing the responsibilities that come with the house and family.
A troublesome situation that still remains for women in modern time is the negative sexual attention that women often receive. There seems to be a double standard when a woman is called a “slut” for sleeping around when a man is called a “pimp”. The number of times a woman deals with negative sexual attention daily is incomparable to what a man receives. One in six women and one in thirty-three men will be a victim of sexual assault throughout their lifetime. The vast difference in this statistical information is not shocking at all to most, on the contrary it is quire predictable. It is a known fact that women’s sexual appeal brings upon negative, unwanted attention. Sayings lie “he just wants a piece of ass” or “He wants to get in her pants”, are always comments from a man and never a female. In our modern society women have been reduced to mere breasts, lips, legs, and a vagina. While they are gaining ground in education, politics, and work force, women are still victimized as “piece of meat”.
Women have come a long way over time and have carved a new path for the women to come. While the word “feminist” generally brings upon negative attention, it is the feminist of the world, those who are for women’s rights, whom are creating a opportunity filled future for all females to come. Men and women will continue to endure different treatment regardless of what day and age, or even socialization they’ve been brought up in. Before the equality of men and women was non-existent, and now it is a work in progress, the future for women is looking up.
Airport Security: Privacy vs. Safety

Self parking cars..whats next?
We got cars that park themselves which i personally think was genius idea because i hate parking. i don't have to park that much because i live on long island but when i do go to queens, i just hate it! at those times i wish i had this car.
Overall technology is growing so fast that when one new technology is out there is already a new idea in process. i cant just wait to see what the have more in store for cars. never know we may have flying cars in the near future like the movie. lol

Inspired quote
Napoleon Hill
This quote really relates to this class. Professor would always say you have to go out there and find find opportunities for yourself and that hiding behind desks will get us no where. I agree with that but for me that is hard to do. its hard for me because I am that shy girl. I always try to come out and try to overcome my fear but I just haven’t yet. After this class though, I am going to try and make more of an effort to get out there and not be to afraid to fail. this quote really does mean a lot. if someone does have all the intelligence in the would but they don’t use it, what good does it do for them or anyone else?
family will always be familyb
Every family has their secrets and problems. no family is perfect. my family included. I cant fully explain my family but I will tell you the basic. My cousin is my sister. Confused? well let me explain, its quite simple but everyone just likes to complicate it. my uncle on my dad’s side couldn’t have a child with his wife. They tried everything but nothing worked. My dearest parents after having two children decided to give their three one to them. everyone was happy and my mom had three more after her which makes us a total of five brother and sisters but six if we include my cousin/sister. our parents didn’t tell us that she was our sister until we were all older around our teens years. we were surprised but treated her the same way as we always did. but the hard part was that my cousin still didn’t know. My uncle didn’t want to tell her even though the whole world knew. that did cause some problems but what family doesn’t have problems. She knows now because before she got married my uncle told her. it would just have been better if they told her before hand. Things between us are okay but could be better. Family is family.

Red Mango

Hi my name is Rumaisa Butt and I'm addicted to red mango. At first Im going to admit whenever someone told me about red mango, I would make that disgusted face like eww how can youeat yogurt with cereal and fruit toppings. even when my friends forced me to go with them, i didnt like it. when i went for the second time, i wasnt planning i getting anyhting because i didnt like it the first time around. But then i saw that they had a new flavor. Chocolate. so i was like okay lets try a sample of chocolate becuase i love chocolate. You can ask anyone, im the biggest chocolate lover. After that day, i was in love with red mango. Chocolate with strawberries and chocolate chips is what i always get. I dont like trying anything new. The only other flavored yogurt i tried was pomegranate which wasnt bad but chocolate was my favorite. One day when i went to get my usual, the lady said they dont have chocolate anymore. i was like come again? that was a sad day for me but not for long because they brought it back even better. DARK CHOCOLATE yogurt!
I believed that all the red mango yogurts were fat free like they say they are. but i was wrong. the only flavor i eat turns out not to be fat free! guess im not eating soo healthy after all. But that doesnt stop me from getting it. I gotta say its a bit pricey but worth it.
Crazy lady at the Train Station
After getting our tickets for the way back home, we went to the sitting area because we were tried of walking. As I was sitting there, this Chinese lady starts talking. I didnt pay much attention until she started talking really loud to the guy sitting next to her. I couldn't understand what she was saying but I guess the guy next to her couldn't stand it anymore so he moved away and another lady moved away too. The Chinese got quiet for a couple minutes until another person came and sat next to her. This time I listen hard to what she was saying and I was shocked! This old Chinese lady was going on about how she is in the mafia and that her brother can you anyone before you can notice. She kept saying "get that in your head ok, get it in your head!" I just looked at my brother and the people around us and no one knew what do with this lady. She didnt stop there..she went on about how she owns everything and she has plans to blow up the city! when she said that all heads were turning and everyone was just so surprised to see this lady saying all this. Thank god it was our time to go to the platform so we left.
After the show.....
Walking back to the train station, I heard some music playing loud and a big crowd so I decided to check it out. then I saw these two big bubbles with people in them stretching and doing weird moves. It turned out they were advertising for some underwear company.
I thought this bulletin board picture was so soothing.
