When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

Over the past few years, enjoying my free time has been a struggle of mine and after having class discussions I learned many of my classmates had the same issue. Personally I did not feel this way much of my freshmen year, but certainly junior year and a little bit of my sophomore year I felt extreme guilt for enjoying myself and relaxing for just a second. The guilt combined with fear that unwinding for just a second would send my GPA down the drain. For instance, one time around a month ago I was watching the movie Call Me by Your Name and I was so stressed about studying during the film, that I do not remember a portion of the movie. I would be panicking when I watched TV or scrolled through instagram for too long.…
