Asian Comfort Food
After a long semester, it is time for winter break. For many, this means coming home and being around the ones you love. There is no better feeling than being able to finally relax and unwind with friends and family. Additionally, there is the excitement of the holiday season. But out of all the joys of being back, I mostly look forward to home cooking. While away at school, I often long for the delicious meals my family or I create. It is the best when you get to come back and make the foods that you love eating. Here are a few of my favorite dishes to eat during…

A Mother-Daughter’s Unbreakable Bond
For many, a mother is a role model, best friend, and pillar of strength for her daughter. A mother comforts her daughter during moments of weakness. A mother gives advice to her daughter on how to dress. A mother warns her daughter about boys. A mother, most importantly, loves her daughter unconditionally, as they emotionally understand their daughter the best. It is widely believed that the relationship between mothers and daughters is the strongest of all parent-child bonds, and although I disagreed with this belief for a long time, I now understand the truth.

Breaking the Pattern: Intergenerational Trauma
In many Asian cultures, mental health is swept under the rug. It is not an excuse to not be okay as it is seen as a sign of weakness. Those who are similar in age to my parents strongly believe this as they were taught to do so by their mothers and fathers. Unfortunately, this is a dilemma that many younger generations and first generation kids continue to experience.

How I Felt Moving Away from my Asian Parents
Today is September 20th, 2022, almost a month since I left home. It’s been a while since I moved away and I miss it, but at the time I don’t miss it at all. Before this, I had never lived away from my parents. Heck, I haven’t ever even had a sleepover with anyone other than my cousin. I’ve never gone more than two day without seeing my parents. I’m a junior now, but before this I commuted from home to school and then back home again. I saw my parents everyday, and I have a good relationship with them. Sometimes it could feel a little suffocating, but at the…

Should You Argue With Your Racist Uncle During Dinner?
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?
