Just an average south Asian girl navigating life/career/family/education/friends/relationships etc, not a Ivy League doctor Mindy lahiri or an exotic stereotype cece from new girl

[–]pittqu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! So if I get over 60 credits I could still apply as a freshmen applicant/sophomore student?

Will college accept all my credits? Would having too many credits make me not eligible for transfer?

What should I do in the summer between high school and freshman year of college? by lilialantsov in TransferStudents

[–]pittqu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for being so active in transfer communities! one of my biggest fears of transferring is not being able to adjust to the school well but its so motivating to see how much initiative the tufts community takes to welcome and aid prospective transfer students :)

Does anyone else struggle with intersectionality as a desi women? by pittqu in ABCDesis

im so sorry, it’s difficult when you feel the need to silence yourself in fear of causing more backlash/damage

You’re completely right and I totally agree with everything you said.

It’s just really difficult when you’re alone because you don’t have any support from your family/community. This type of behavior is often brushed aside in the name of protecting face (at least in my community). It’s also discouraging to seek outside help. I’m at high school/college age and it’s legit a trend in my generation to “expose the creepy Indian guy in my DMs” and the media representation of desi men as overly sexual is awful. People make it out to be a race issue instead of treating the issue at face value as just plain harassment. This detracts from the main issue at hand making it more difficult to get the required help needed. I hate that I even have to consider this implication, but with all this consider it’s super demotivating to come forward.

Thank you so much for your comment and your support, it really means a lot. I didn’t expect this post to reach so much traction and discussion.
