I know that economic time are "tough" but come on in the past several months I've applied to at least 30 different sale/cashier positions and nothing, I finally got a temporary position as a cashier not long ago but that only lasted 6 weeks for rush in the beginning of the semester. Now please know that was my first actual job where I got paid for my work, so yes I'm a 19 year old whose mother wanted her child to finish HS without working, and now I'm a sophomore in college and it's impossible for me to get a job. I've finally come to the conclusion that it's because of my name, people automatically think I don't speak English, which is a totally lie, I've known English almost all my life, and I can read, write and comprehend it better than the average American, and that just frustrates me even more.
I don't understand what's going on and I want to know if this is only happening to me? Has it happened to any of you, if so any tips in how to actually get a suitable job for a college student who pays for her own tuition?
… Sorry just had to vent, this as you can tell is what currently makes me upset …

Making soup...
Last Friday the 18th of September, my best friend, my brother and I went on a mini field trip to a place called H-Mart, and we bought ingredients to make a soup. What we made we decided to call Faux Pho because all it had all the ingredients of real Pho plus some extra ingredients that don't really go into Pho.
H-Mart is an asian food supermarket, where you can go by anything that is sold in Asia from squid to live and fresh fish to all of those sweets that you get plus the sauces that they use in Asian cuisine. Pho is a Vietnamese soup that consists of meatballs, rice noodles, green onion and a broth.
as you can tell from the story above, the soup that we made had additional ingredients that aren't found in Pho or any other soup that I'm aware of, however it did taste pretty good the only exception being that the noodles where extremely slippery and difficult to eat.
Unfortunately I didn't have a camera to get a picture of our Faux Pho or of the H-Mart storefront. However if you are interesting in knowing how to make Pho properly the recipe can be found here:

Or you can go to your local Pho restaurant and order the lovely dish there.
Enjoy!
