How to Joke Like a Filipino
As a Filipina raised by both sets of grandparents, I learned the ways in which my family interacted with each other. Of course the gossiping was always a given, but jokes, especially told in Tagalog, were much more entertaining to us. I’m not bilingual by all means, but I do, however, understand the hilarious conversation amongst them. Learning cultural humor is something that I’ve been trying to immerse myself in more, so impressing others with these skills in their native language is an opportunity to grow closer with others and share in the laughter together.

The Best Show about Pranks
Out of the many tv shows that my sister could put me on, a show that took me by surprise was a show about these 4 guys who pull pranks on each other and in public. Impractical Jokers is by far one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen. It’s about these 4 guys (Sal, Q, Murr, and Joe) who challenge each other to do dares in public, and the person to lose the most challenges has to do a final “punishment” at the end.

My NYC Spring Break Trip Recap
Originally I was supposed to go to Cancun with 30+ brothers in my fraternity, but sadly I wasn’t able to afford the trip from my semester expenses. In pursuit of doing something fun for the break, me and my best friend/roommate Khiem booked bus tickets, airbnb and hotel for the weekend in NYC. Luckily, one of my best friends from high school goes to NYU, so we were able to make plans easily with him and his friend group. On Friday, our first night in NYC, we started the evening at a sports bar having burgers and watching NBA and tennis games. After, we went on a liquor run to…

Growing Up as the Youngest Child From an Immigrant Family
Being the youngest child, I have heard quite a few many stereotypes. We are known to be spoiled, attention-seeking, and even manipulative. Although I can’t confirm if I fit into these stereotypes myself, I do know that I would rather be the youngest child than the oldest, and that’s because of my brother.

My “Least Favorite” Filipino Food
Growing up, I was lucky enough to have parents who raised me on authentic Filipino food. From eating tapsilog, bulalo, lumpia, pancit, giniling, and so much more, their cooking was the reason why I was so experimental with food when I was younger. It was always surprising to the adults around me when my brother and I would willingly eat vegetables, or if I would gladly take a bite of something that was notoriously suited for an adult palate. However, there was one food in particular that would make me draw the line: Chicken Tinola.

Best Food to Throw During a Food Fight
Food fights were always shown in American movies as a rebellious, but thrilling event to happen in school cafeterias. Interestingly enough, this is actually part of Spanish Culture, as they have two very popular annual food fight festivals called La Merenga, where desserts, like meringue, are mainly thrown, and La Tomatina, where tomatoes are thrown, that date back to 1945.1 In the following article, I’ll be listing out five other foods that I think would be the best to throw during a food fight and a few reasons why.

Things I Got Scolded For As A Kid
Submitted by Michelle Ewton Playing With My Chopsticks In my defense, they look like drumsticks. How will I ever live out my dream of becoming a rockstar if I don’t practice my drum solo? My parents never saw the vision, saying that the only right career paths were doctor, lawyer, or pharmacist. So what if I have no rhythm, as long as you have passion and are confident that’s all you need right? Apparently though, playing with chopsticks is considered bad manners. Something about how it’s rude and people don’t try to drum with a spoon and fork. Perhaps the real solution is that we should just use all cutlery…
