Hello MMIAF readers,

It’s Serena here. Instead of being just a humor site for readers to vote on submitted content, we’re going to try something a little different. Of course, we want to bring you as much entertainment as Engrish and Passive Aggressive Notes, but we also want to encourage discussion, much like Postcards from Yo Momma and Stuff White People Like. We would like MMIAF to become a sharing community where people realize, “Hey, I’m not the only one with a misspelled name!” or that our parents aren’t the only ruthless ones who display tough love in the form of brutal honesty. In an effort to move MMIAF in that direction, we’re going to try to have forum-style discussion topics to spur e-communication, examine our cultural similarities and differences, and discover how the first generation has impacted the second.

In the spirit of college acceptance/rejection letters, or, as one dad puts it, “March Madness”, here’s to every scholar’s academic pursuit of enlightenment: what did you decide to major in and what is your dream career? Since our parents seemed to care more about our college apps than we did, it is also valid to ask, did your parents influence your choice, and if so, in what way? While some parents are adamant about us pursuing law or meeting med-school boys, others just want us to sleep nine hours a day—or all of the above with divine help. What did your fob parents expect of you? If you want, you may share your choice of college as well—even if it’s Dark Mouth University (btw, Dartmouth is a very good school).

If you’re not even a “fresherman” in college, you may share what you would like to major in and why (perhaps versus what your parents want you to major in); and for those who are already part of the work force, please share past college experiences and/or any insight you would like others to know.

To start off the conversation, I will share my personal story. [click to continue…]
