@@samanthareidyy oh nevermind, sorry I didnt see your title of the video, I was terrified your baby was really little and having honey! I’m so thankful the baby is 15 months
I'm an incoming freshman who's going to CU Boulder for their engineering school(chemical engineering to be exact) and I chose it because, well it was my safety school and I didn't get into any schools within my home state. I heard that it had an incredible engineering school(my dad had some alumni coworkers who went there, he's an engineer)and I thought that I could ignore the social aspects of the school(I know it's a very party focused school). But honestly I'm really scared. I've been reading up on other people's experiences with this school and as a POC who's also part of the LGBTQ+ community I've heard that a lot of POC haven't been feeling safe at the school and in the community. I don't want to say that "I'm not like other girls" but like you said in your video it can be alienating when youre not truly interested in greek life and that stuff isnt for me.(I am really interested in other things like hiking and civic engagement though). I know I should wait and see what the school is like because my experience could be super different but I honestly think if my experience is a lot like what I've heard, I will probably transfer home after a semester or a year or so. I kind of regret not doing my research more on it and I wish I had went to another school I got into, ASU(which I didn't choose for a few personal reasons but looking back it was super silly).
I am Apache from Generation X and experienced CU decades ago. Initially, I came to know of CU from watching a show in childhood called "Mork & Mindy". It was set on Pearl Street and the show started with Mork and Mindy hanging out at CU Boulder where she was an alumna. The first episode showed Mork meeting Mindy somewhere towards Flagstaff Mountain (go figure). Fast forward to my senior year at Notre Dame, and CU had a summer research program for minority students. We stayed in Delta Tau Delta's house just north of campus. That was a fun summer. Later, I moved to Boulder in the late 1990s after I got my first MS in Bioengineering at ASU. I worked at several companies near Boulder and Westminster from 1998-2001. Overall, I didn't experience a high frequency of blatant racism at CU Boulder. I played a lot of basketball and never witnessed racist conflicts which I had seen at U of Arizona. I hiked or ran Mt. Sanitas hundreds of times and most of the hikers were pretty mellow. Occasionally, I did experience blatant racism. I recall seeing these teen guys walking in KKK robes somewhere north of Pearl St. which shocked me. I did run into racist hikers a few times with grossly rude behavior. But such blatant racism was infrequent. The more common racism was "subtle" racism or corporate racism in the work environment. The type of corporate racism common in the work environment was toxic white male behavior in the form of bullying. It goes like this: "The racist white male wants to bully the Native American - if (1) he does not stand up for himself, then the white guy will label him a coward and inflate his ego, but (2) if he does stand up for himself, the white guy will label him a savage and get him reprimanded or fired. That pattern did exist - but it wasn't always present. I just remember feeling that a minority shouldn't be surprised if that type of subtle, racist bullying came up at a job with mostly white males - a few of them can act like that. To be fair, many were not racist in that way. As for academics, I never had a problem personally at CU Boulder. The main professors and faculty I interacted with were very respectful and positive. But I did get to know two female law students who complained of rampant racism there. The academic disappointment for me was at the CU Denver Health Sciences Center. I contemplated going to medical school at CU in 2001 and took summer anatomy with medical students. I witnessed a huge institutional resentment among students against affirmative action. The stigma was obvious. One white female who sympathized with minorities told us that behind the scenes there were many resentful white medical students who despised affirmative action and the presence of minorities. To be fair, some of them were likely against the policy by viewing it as reverse racism. But there were likely others who simply thought the minority students weren't smart enough regardless of affirmative action or not. But those white students were not that disappointing - I was used to those views. The big disappointment was with colorism in the "diversity" office from minorities. I am one of the last speakers of the Apache language - and they had nothing positive to say about it. Colorism and a preference for light-skinned "Native American" students who identify as white and speak only English were obvious. A few years later after I had moved to Florida I complained about that to CU's diversity consortium at the Denver Health Sciences Center. I was surprised to get a response from the Dean. He clearly wanted to address it. But I don't know if those issues were addressed because I never went back. Given the pandemic, I am glad I never went to medical school though. I am now a data scientist in biomedical engineering and software architecture. Looking back, another pattern of subtle racism at CU Boulder was in dating - I was pretty much invisible as a brown guy on campus by many of the women (or out in Boulder in general). Ironically, my athletic peak occurred around that time. I could run up Longs Peak with a back pack in less than 3 hours from the Ranger Station. But I was ignored in the dating scene of Boulder. By contrast, I had many dating opportunities at Tallahassee, FL with some inclusive female students from FSU (relatively speaking). The difference was like between night and day. Supposedly, southern white women from FL, AL and GA are racist, but in reality they were far more inclusive relative to the dating scene for me at Boulder. I actually befriended a beautiful white southern sorority girl from Georgia. I learned later that white southerners had intermarried with Native Americans since colonial times. It's still like that - the "south" in FL near GA/AL was more inclusive than Boulder in regards to the "dating scene".
does anyone know when tattoos are all black but they vary slightly in color is that because different black inks have different undertones? Stressing about this cuz i want all my tattoos to look the same color but i guess different artists obviously use different inks

As a latina /chicana that lived in boulder for all my life and went to CU boulder! I gave up to my dream on working for criminal justice field after 1 semester at CU , I experienced racism and seen others experience the same 😫 as much as I love boulder I’m gonna agree that minorities hate boulder because of the people but also because it’s a very liberal place that isint diverse , where people don’t care about diversity or anyone but themselves ! It’s. A place where a lot of minorities don’t feel like they’re belong there or are feeling at home ☹️ I sadly left boulder in January after the 1st semester and never went back !!! ☹️
You have a nice place --especially after having been there only 10 days. Would love to see an updated tour. I would recommend some sort of island in the kitchen that you could eat on with bar stools; shelves in that little nook could provide additional storage.
I don't get the hate for single needle tattoos. Hate on the artists that act like they're the best tattoos and lie to their clients. I've seen some really good single needle that hasn't had touch ups for years.

no hate on single needle tattoos at all, i have a lot. it's just important that people who are getting them understand how they sit and last overtime. they settle much differently than traditional work, for example.
I enjoyed your video, I am an international student! from South Korea still living in NYC and The New School is one of my dream schools LOL you yawned like a lion haha
