Monthly Summer Update: My Life, What I have done so far, etc.

by Inaya Syed

Hi everybody, As June is coming to a close, I would like to update you about what I have accomplished in the past month.

Internship Update:

I had completed my internship interview process, and... they never contacted me back. I sent a follow-up email a week ago at this point.. I am just going to take the hint. 

Spectrum Sizzle Workshop and Article:

As many of you might have seen, I was recently featured in an article of New York Tech's coverage of the Spectrum Sizzle Workshop. Spectrum Sizzle taught me circuits, which was very useful for my tech startup, Sound Damp, taught me radar systems, and frequencies. I met amazing people all around the world, from Penn State to Tuskegee University. I got a certificate, completed the workshop, and had fun overall.

Driving Lessons:

As of right now, I was refunded my money due to the company not being able to service me in my area. They asked politely if I can make it out to Farmingdale for lessons. I declined their offer, which led to me being refunded. I will begin lessons in the middle of July, when I can gather finances to.

Summer Classes: Statics:

So far, since May 28th, I have enrolled in a summer mechanical engineering class at Stony Brook University. Statics is a class that involves physics and calculus. It is heavy right now with the concept of equilibrium. I believe ever since entering calculus, I have completely forgotten how to do simple algebra. None of my calculations are correct, and it is a struggle. But I am determined to succeed. I am currently improving in later topics, and I believe that is really what matters. Of course, I will work on my math skills, as it is crucial for exams.

As I conclude this update, there is hope for the future. With Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City Mayoral elections, there is hope for the future. So far, summer is not the worst, but I still have a long way to go.

Henna

 Hello everyone, this was a paper I wrote for a class this semester and felt like it would fit on here. It's a pretty long one so take your time reading this! _____________________________________________________________________________________      Scrolling through TikTok, I watch as women, Black, White, East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian, and other races dye their hair with this paste called “Henna”. Wanting to know what people online think about the use of something from a region of cultures where everything is made fun of, I eagerly open the comments. The top comment says, “Looks like duck poop lol.” I sigh. This is my culture, as I am Pakistani and Muslim. And boy, has it been a rough 21 years being Pakistani and Muslim. I have had to fight for my right to exist growing up on Long Island, New York. One of these fights was related to henna, or as it is called in Urdu, the language of Pakistan; Bangla, the language of Bangladesh; Hindi, The language of Indi...

Summer Update: What I have done so far, my life, etc. By Inaya Syed  Hi Everyone, it has been a while since I last wrote on the blog, so forgive me for being a little rusty.  Statics and other summer classes: I would like to begin this post by saying that I did not pass statics from Stony Brook University. However, I enrolled in a statistics class at CUNY Queensborough Community College on July 8th, and I passed that class on August 8th!  That credit is now taken care of, but statics I have to take in the Fall semester Internships: I had been rejected from the internship, but I am not giving up! In my pursuit of an internship, there is a fellowship hosted by Brookhaven National Labs. I applied, and am eagerly waiting for a response for Fall. Trip to the Finger Lakes: From August 1st to August 3rd, our family took a trip to the Finger Lakes, also known as Geneva, NY. I made the itinerary, found the places, and went there. The places we went were: Sonnenberg Gardens and Man...

 My Bi-Monthly Update: Classes, Day in my Life Video, NASA SUITS competition, etc. By Inaya Syed Hello, everybody! Welcome to another edition of my bi-monthly update! I have a lot to share, so let's get right into it! Increase in Federal Work Study award     To start off, I wanted to share some good news! I received an increase in my federal work-study award. This means I have my job at the library until the end of the fiscal year. The total is $5,000.  Classes     So far, classes have been going well. I had just taken a Calculus III exam this Thursday. I think I will be alright in terms of grades and workload. So far, I am not entirely drowning in assignments.  Clubs     As for clubs, I decided to bring back the Society of Women Engineers to NYIT's Long Island Campus. I am starting the interviews soon. On top of this, the chess club is organizing a tournament on November 13th. Pull up if you are interested! On top of all this, I started...
