Recreating Food From Shows/Movies
Food plays such an iconic role in our lives, making the shows and movies we watch also include some iconic dishes. Some dishes included in these shows and movies look so appetizing that some people made the effort to recreate them in real life, and they are as delicious as they seem on screen. Here’s a few examples of recreated dishes from iconic films and links to their recipes!

Fried Rice: Growing Up With Me
The best fried rice recipe. When I was younger, I cooked this fried rice dish everyday after school. I started learning how to cook when I was in middle school because I thought I could cook better than the food I was eating at school for lunch from the school cafeteria. When we visited my relatives in Asia, I would show off, cooking my dish for my grandparents, relatives, and all their friends. If I need a quick bite or a fancy dinner to impress a special someone, this is my go to dish :)

Hot Take: I’m Fine With Not Dating Before Marriage
“No dating before marriage” is a statement many Indian parents have told their children. I was raised with these values, but I’ve never disagreed with them. Don’t get me wrong—I have had crushes and romantic interests—but the values I have inherited from my parents have just been stronger. When I was younger I adopted this value without questioning it, but as I grew older my reasons behind these values grew stronger.

The Intersection of Technology and Tradition
One of my uncles loves using shopping apps to buy cheap but cool items. There’s something new in their house almost every time we come over for dinner. He loves to talk about the items too, how functional they are and what a steal they were, only a couple dollars.

Values Worth Keeping
College has always been marketed to me as an experience for personal and professional growth; an experience to develop independence and further my own self interests. But with all of that independence and control, it can get quite lonely quickly. The great thing about being in a shared space with a large number of other students is that you are surrounded by other people who may be in the same situation as yourself. Knowing that other people also want to meet new people can be encouraging. While it is important to develop your own sense of individualism and explore your own interests, who says you have to do it alone?

JCLC, a one-of-a-kind Club
This new school year has been an exciting yet busy start, with no exception to the many first general body meetings we had this month. Many APIDA organizations here at the University of Delaware such as APSA, VSA, FSA, JCLC, SASE, and AAPC held meetings with creative themes and various activities, each with their own unique styles for all kinds of students to enjoy. That is one of the many reasons why I always loved attending and engaging with meetings held by these clubs; they strive to be inclusive and connect all members together, while rooting for their club on Asian culture. Among the many clubs, one that stands out…
