seafood is delicious. The Cajun food is so good. The French Quarters is popping. Bourbon Street is off the chain. It is all a place that I would love to go to, or shall I say go back to. New Orleans, Louisiana is where I would go if I had a ticket in my hand to go anywhere. Many people tell me all the time that New Orleans is a bad place to be in. It isn’t to me, I grew up there, and maybe that’s why I want to go back. Everywhere you turn around, there is always a person doing things he or she…

In 1991 in an apartment in Everett, Washington my family’s living room was adorned with elementary age handwritten homework. Walls covered with eight and eleven-year-old calligraphy, rooms echoed with oral histories. This was my new American home. I could hear my mother boasting about her kids on phone calls to familials in Mexico. I was gladdened as I was falling in love with the written word. My siblings and I were breaking a cycle of illiteracy with the added challenges of learning a language…

with white, fluffy clouds that resembled cotton candy. I was outside exploring the vast backyard while barefoot. It was my first morning in the United States. My stepfather, my siblings, and I had arrived seven hours ago from the Philippines to our new home in Rhode Island from the T. F. Green Airport at around midnight. Last night was my first time seeing my mother in a year. I was furious, imprudent, depressed. Since I was two years old, my grandparents had raised my siblings and I. When my…

For as long as I can remember, in my household, my parents were very traditional. My mother stayed home and looked after the kids, cleaned the house and my father went to work to provide for the family. After the course of observing, I have discovered how things maybe have not changed as much as we think they have. Through my findings, I have seen the stigma of “women staying home and doing housework and men work” in my experience. Although women like to believe we have advanced from difficult…

Shanghai. “No, no, no, I am not moving,” I scream at my parents at the top of my lungs as I begin to cry. Only bad thoughts are rolling through my head now as I think about how difficult making new friends is going to be; how difficult it will be to call a new place home; and how difficult adapting and living in a new culture will be. When I pictured what life would be like in Shanghai, I did not have any friends and I thought no one would like me. As a child, I was always worried about not…

“When I get signed, man, I’ma buy one of those grey Mustangs. The Shelby one. One that’s souped-up. I’ma buy me a new house. Have me one of them butlers in there. I’ma get new watches, new clothes, new glasses. Man, what are we waiting for?” He shot up out of his chair, in a similar fashion to the action his career should take in the near future. “William, the man said 2:30. What do you mean what are you waiting for? And those purchases you’re talking about seem mighty taxing on the wallet.”…

Timberwolves are trying to reach the college student market, which otherwise, may not be able to afford the regular priced game. Getting a large number of college students to the game has the potential to increase crowd noise and activity, thus increasing home court advantage; which, ultimately, can lead to an increase in wins. In addition, the severely discounted ticket prices may be conducive to fans’ ability and desire to buy more team…

STREETS OF NEW YORK There are hundreds of mobile eateries selling gourmet global cuisine across the city of New York, alongside traditional hotdog vendors and halal carts to name few of them. According to New York Times, there are great cheap global lunch options in the corners of Manthttan, and not just in ethnic pockets like Koreatown or Little Brazil, but right outside the office building in Midtown. They are saying good bye to the Baja Fresh nacho burrito which I think is very boring food to…
