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?

Traditional Filipino Dishes I Eat During Filipino Parties
As with every culture, there are traditional dishes that you’re likely to find at every party or holiday event that you can always look forward to eating. At Filipino parties and holidays, you’re for sure going to find a few (or maybe even all) of the following dishes on the kitchen table. You may have heard of these dishes before or may even have variations of these dishes in other cultures as well. Here’s a list of a few of my favorite dishes that I look forward to indulging in at every family party, but especially during the holidays!

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…

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…
