Dispel the stereotypes

[queequek]

Not all people who do study abroad are rich

Because one has a father as a doctor, doesn't mean s/he rich and spoiled. I have to work my arse off for college, and no, daddy won't send me money for "fun"

Not all Iowans are farmers, and yes, we have lots of corns (NOT potatoes, that's IDAHO) and no, we're not the Huskers

Not all farmers dress like one. And yes, farmers know what "Abercrombie and Fitch" is.

Not all Marines are wicked and killing oriented

Not all Minnesotans know how to play hockey. Or ski. Or snowboarding

There ARE dry roads in Venice. Do you expect to swim all the time?

Because one lives in Amsterdam, doesn't mean that s/he smokes weed everyday and has sex wherever, or running around naked

There ARE tall buildings in Asia. Don't ask me whether there are running water or cars in third world countries, because, surprisingly United States is not the only country. The third world countries are not THAT behind, even though there are some straw huts, but they also have mortars, concrete, steel, glass and so on

Not all landscape architects know how to plant flower, so don't ask us whether we could do your backyard

Not all food science major know how to cook, and the program doesn't teach them how to cook delicious food. That's called culinary class

Not all design majors are geek, and yes we have life outside our studio

Not all fraternity guys like being called frat boy, or "frat" for shortening "fraternity"

Not all sorority girls are slut
