Alberta Virginia Scott, Radcliffe’s first African-American graduate, ca. 1898 “By the second decade of the century, Radcliffe graduated more than one black woman each year. By 1920, four black women graduated in the same class. This was unheard of at the other Seven Sister colleges, where such numbers would not be achieved until the 1940s and 1950s. By 1950, Radcliffe had graduated 56 African-American undergraduates and 37 African-American graduate students.”

I don’t care if a man chooses to date within his career or tax bracket. I’m just saying that a woman dating down isn’t the same as a man dating down. When a man dates down, he benefits from the woman providing him with children, domestic labor, comfort, support, and companionship. But when a woman dates down, the man brings domestic violence abuse, laziness, brokenness, trash sex, and controlling behavior into the relationship.

A broke woman doesn’t hurt a man’s finances in the same way a broke man does to a woman. The dynamics are completely different. Men dating down can still maintain their status while benefiting from what a woman offers. Meanwhile, women who date down find themselves in situations that can be damaging and detrimental to their well being. Stop pretending that dating down is the same for both genders. The consequences is vastly different, and women bear the brunt of these imbalances.

The Fab Five was the 1991 University of Michigan men's basketball team recruiting class that many consider one of the greatest recruiting classes of all time. The class consisted of Detroit natives Chris Webber (#4) and Jalen Rose (#5), Chicago native Juwan Howard (#25), and two recruits from Texas: Plano's Jimmy King (#24) and Austin's Ray Jackson (#21). The Fab Five were the first team in NCAA history to compete in the championship game with all-freshman starters.

13 year old me would shit themself and die if they knew for my COLLEGE ENGLISH CLASS I was writing a rhetorical analysis of Be More Chill.

Knowing what I know now I would do a few things different. I would not waste my time taking something in university that I learned I disliked. I would go for the dream path instead of the make me money path. Something would always allow me to make money.

I have this I want to save the world in me. University has not ruined nor dulled that. A professor ruined the spark for that specific degree. I still want to save to save the world. Just in another way.

I’ll just write the stories that I as a child needed to hear. I would’ve loved knowing that someone out there could succeed being like me. I know I can succeed because I have people telling me I can. But seeing someone else would be special.

Medger Evers .. But did you know he was also a college football star at Alcorn State, where he was a teammate of his brother, Charles? He was. “Medgar played halfback and I played center,” Charles Evers, 94, said recently during an interview at his WMPR radio office in west Jackson.

Was talking with a friend about Reaganomics today, and both of us elaborating on the downsides of the Economic theory. I thought that was the only time I was going to talk about Reaganomic today. Nope, rented a book from my college’s library, as reading fun (and not doing this for a class), and it turns out, it is authored by Niskanen. Not knowing who that was, it sparked my curiosity to find out, and sure enough, it’s the guy who was an architect of the system…

Will be reading After Enron through its entirety.

It’s a little embarrassing to ask for help but I need it! I’ve gotten into NYU but I need help paying for it. Any amount is appreciated.
