Diversity
Make movies less white
We see diversity and we see it accurately. We have the power to make Hollywood see this as well. We just have to speak up.
introspect
In defense of being lonely
I was looking for a way to gain jurisdiction over my heart, to most effectively put myself in the box of shame, but I found something more effective.
culture
Being culturally homeless
I think the first time I realized the segregation between my two cultures was when I was visiting family in China over summer.
smoking
UR takes a toll on my lungs
I wish I could say that the new smoking policy helps me breathe more easily. But it doesn’t. I’ll be holding my breath till changes are made.

Closing the gap
In an ideal world, we would have no turnaround delivering the news to you. The question is, how close can we get?

The increasingly digital CT
It became apparent that to dedicate more time to the actual content of the paper and to reduce our waste problems, we would need to reduce our printing schedule.
Education
Don’t put STEM on a pedestal
We do not have the right to compare these majors to one another as they demand different knowledge and skills from the student. While topics such as coding might seem difficult to STEM students, non-STEM students have to face similar problems in learning material such as the International Phonetics Alphabet.
Education
Don’t force creativity
Creativity is a powerful force, yet forced creativity has the power to kill creativity. Creativity makes us diverse individuals. Forced creativity makes us try to live up to what others believe creativity should be.

Listen to the Radio
I’m fully aware of the connotations that being an NPR listener carries: white, middle class, pseudo-intellectual, all-around nerd who thinks that facts about ducks are good conversation starters. This connotation doesn’t really bother me, because in my case, it rings pretty much completely true.
identity
How racism lives among us
As an Indian-American, I have never thought of myself as any more or less of one of my cultures. I have never had to stop and ask myself about my identity. I am just me. It is as simple as that, right? Not exactly.
