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…

Food Culture in Asia vs the US
People need to eat to survive, that’s just a basic fact of life. Unless you have some medical condition where you can’t eat, but that’s besides the point. Every country has their own cuisine and culture around food that makes them unique to others. In Indian food you’ll find strong and hot spices. Mexico is known for their bright food made from simple ingredients cooked masterfully. When you think of the US, you think of comfort food that you can always fall back on.

APSA’s Night Market
This year marks APSA’s second annual Night Market since COVID-19, and it surely did not disappoint! Occuring last Saturday at the Trabant MPRs, the event lasted from 9pm-1am and was filled with dance performances, cultural activities, and so much more. Meant as a night to celebrate and appreciate APIDA culture, performances ranged from traditional to modern. Food was also free and provided by UD catering. The menu also included cultural foods such as: chicken satay to represent Indonesia, pad thai to represent Thailand, and jalebi, a dessert that originates from India. What I love most about this event, however, is the fact that it gathers a number of APIDA organizations…

Depictions of Karma in Anime
When it comes to a topic like karma, it is interesting to see how it gets depicted in the media and how we as an audience observe it. For me, there were a few animes that came to mind and a couple characters that dealt with the consequences of their actions, or in this case, dealt with the bad karma that came their way.
