How I’m Spending Winter Break

One thing about UD is that we are blessed with an especially long winter break. With classes not starting back up until February, breaks are a rare opportunity to actually breathe, reset, and make the most of the time we don’t have during the semester. Instead of letting it slip by, I am planning to make the most of this break by keeping myself busy, balancing rest, personal interests, and preparation for the spring semester.

The Bizarre Journey of Boba

Boba has turned into a worldwide phenomenon over the last decade. It has grown to be the perfect drink to grab on the go and is beloved by the younger generation. Here at the University of Delaware, we have a handful of boba shops such as Comma Cafe, Kung Fu Tea, TBaar, and Tiger Sugar. With such a large popularity, let’s take a dive into the origin of boba.

The Hidden Language of Red Envelopes

Red envelopes (hóngbāo in Mandarin, lai see in Cantonese) are a symbol of Chinese culture and tradition. These vibrant envelopes are usually associated with Lunar New Year, weddings, and other grand celebrations. But these pockets hold deeper meanings beyond their monetary gifts—they carry wishes of luck, protection, and connection across generations.

    Should You Argue With Your Racist Uncle During Dinner?

    December 24, 2021 /

    The holiday season is slowly creeping up on us, and soon we’ll be spending time with our family (well, most of us at least). With everything that’s happened politically in the past almost two year, there’s a lot to catch up on. A little too much if you ask me. So the question is: should you engage in an argument with your family about politics during holiday dinner?

    Must-Add Songs for Your Holiday Playlist

    December 24, 2021 /

    As much as I love to hear the holiday classics on the radio, these songs and many others by Asian artists have recently been on repeat this festive season. It is so nice to have Asian representation in music, especially when the majority of classic holiday songs are not performed by POC artists. Here are some of my favorites you can add to your Spotify or Apple Music playlist to get in the holiday spirit!

    Why You Should Be More Concerned About Counterfeit Items

    November 12, 2021 /

    Shoes are just something that you put on your feet and handbags are something that you hold on to. Whether they are name brands or off-brands does not define you as a person. On the contrary, a thousand dollars for a purse is insane. All for a product with just a brand logo stamped all over it. Even though name brand items aren’t worth it in my opinion, neither are counterfeit versions of those products.

    Spotlighting Melanie Gasmen: Asian Creators on Campus

    November 12, 2021 /

    November is highly associated with Black Friday deals and early holiday shopping, I thought it would be nice to show an ethical, great quality product made by one of my closest friends here at UD, Melanie Gasmen. Melanie Gasmen is a junior at the University of Delaware with a major in visual communications. This year, she designed FSA’s first ever tote bag, which has become a staple in my wardrobe ever since. You can take it with you on your next shopping trip, or gift to a friend!
