After a disappointing first half of the 2024 MLB season, the New York Mets caught fire and blazed a path to an unlikely playoff spot, culminating in an NLCS loss to the eventual World Series champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers. On the shoulders of utility-man Jose “Candelita” Iglesias’s hit song, “OMG,” the vibes around the Mets clubhouse could not have been higher. After a perpetuity of seasons that ended in massive let-downs, it finally seemed as if there was real hope for the Mets to win their first world series in almost 40 years.

It’s not that I’m ashamed of being Vietnamese — now at least. Growing up was a different story. I really don’t want to frame this piece like another “I grew up in a predominantly white area and I had no one that looked like me,” because that’s not real.

While I like to consider myself an honest person, I’ve realized lately that I’m often dishonest with myself. If a near-stranger were to ask me about my fears or my childhood, I’d hardly hesitate before answering with the truth. I’ve never been one to fear saying too much. The trick, that I’ve noticed recently, is that I’ve left a backdoor open. I consider myself honest so long as I believe the truth of what I’m saying, but there remains a subtle caveat: my own thoughts are not always reflective of what I mean. Let me explain.

Coming off of fall break will be difficult. There are few things that can help you cope with going from New York trips with friends, outings to fall festivals and more, then returning back to campus to be greeted with more homework and exams. To make things at least a little easier, however, take these personal recommendations from this week’s installment of To Watch and Watch For.

Fifteen minutes a day. That’s it. After that time elapses — whether it’s all at once or in smaller, two minute segments — a gray hourglass fills up my screen and white sand trickles through. No more scrolling for today.

A statistic from the Department of Homeland Security estimates that “Two million illegal aliens have left the United States in less than 250 days, including an estimated 1.6 million who have voluntarily self-deported.”

There’s a modern parable about a man who loses his keys at night. Though he dropped them in the park, he searches beneath a streetlight. When a police officer asks why, the man replies, “Because this is where the light is.”

This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke (University of California, Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale University and University of California, Santa Barbara) and John M. Martinis (University of California, Santa Barbara) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.” Coincidentally, 2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology commemorating 100 years since modern quantum mechanics’ initial development.

I firmly believe that all you really have to do to get to know someone is to look through their bag (with consent, of course). The contents of a college student’s backpack tend to be fairly uniform: a water bottle, lunch (maybe), pens, pencils, an iPad — but the weight of those objects is not immediately visible to an outside observer.

I wrote a poem once titled “The Modern Prometheus,” one that had to do with Victor Frankenstein and the curse of ambition. I don’t mean for it to be as dramatic as it sounds — even though I tend to play into the tortured genius angle too much sometimes. Victor and I share a bad habit: we can’t stop creating things that destroy our sleep schedules. While Victor made a monster, I make Word documents. His creation terrorized villages; mine terrorizes Google Docs with track changes and coffee stains.

I have a horrible habit of really only ever writing about writing. Every Voices piece that I write somehow incorporates some part of my love for literature, and my characteristic diction bleeds into every aspect of my life.

I have never experienced unadulterated joy like my first listen to Sam “King of Soul” Cooke’s 1963 epic, his album Live at the Harlem Square Club. Hidden beneath a steadily strumming upright bassline and lightly up-tempo drum swing, Cooke’s masterful crowd work combines with a raucous, enraptured audience to create one of the most magical 36-minute sets I’ve ever heard. It’s the kind of music that makes you want to roll your windows down on a quiet summer night, the type of songs that find a way to penetrate a bad mood with a specific kind of impossible-to-ignore, jumping-up-and-down passion.

The other day, in a desperate attempt to procrastinate on my dreadfully boring report on the microstructure and nanostructure of 304L grade stainless steel (sorry, Dr. Gracias), I navigated away from the dozens of review papers on my screen and into the promised land of BuzzFeed quizzes. After a few minutes of mindlessly scrolling, a few holy pixels found their way to my eyes: a quiz promising to tell me what kind of a potato I was. I froze. Was I Yukon Gold? Fingerling? Bintje? I simply had to find out.

Someone once asked me if I would rather live in a city, coastal town, mountain range, countryside or cabin in the woods. My answer to that question is this: all of them, at once, simultaneously… somehow.

Welcome! Sorry the elevator took so long — it tends to do that. You can take your shoes off by the door.

Staying on campus for fall break? As the weather starts to cool, it’s a great weekend to explore what Baltimore has to offer. Comic-Con takes over the Convention Center, runners fill the streets for the city’s annual marathon and things heat up at Spicy Con in Timonium. You can also spend the afternoon at a lecture on Black fashion history or end the weekend with a night of theater as Art makes its debut at Everyman.

In 2026, I’m going to stop believing I owe anyone anything beyond my own peace. I want to stop doing things out of obligation or guilt and start making space for what truly aligns with my energy. I’m learning that happiness isn’t something others can give you — it’s something you create for yourself. As Buddha said, “You are responsible for your own happiness. If you expect others to make you happy, you will always be disappointed.” Life will always have struggles, but I want to start viewing even challenges as reminders of the light that still exists. By letting go of expectations of others and focusing on my own growth, I’ll make room for joy that feels genuine and self-made.
