Dining halls are a problem. Workers are understaffed and overworked, and students and staff have recently commented on the poor quality of food and reduced portion sizes. Dining is a crucial component of student life and well-being, and Hopkins staff are critical to its success. The administration, however, has neglected to provide an adequate working environment for its dining employees — it is incumbent upon the University to provide reasonable conditions for its staff.

The first time I was ever complimented for my spoken Chinese was about two months ago as I sat cross-legged on my maternal grandparents’ bamboo rug. I had been in bed most of the day trying to entertain myself with my new Taobao copy of Mario Kart and whatever morsels of YouTube my international plan could push through the Great Firewall. After a couple of hours of filling myself with various xiaochis and lounging around with my younger brother, there eventually came a knock at the door. Answering the door was really the only real responsibility I had that day.

Being a Hopkins student means long hours of studying, endless assignments and plenty of research, but it doesn’t mean fun has to take a back seat. By junior year, I promised myself that I’d prioritize experiences outside of academics.

When I applied for a PhD program in the U.S., I was attracted to the fact that American universities have been unmatched as drivers of knowledge and innovation – from the moon landing to the Internet to chemotherapy. This prestige dates back to the robust government investment in university research based on merit, with minimal political oversight since the post-World War II era.

“So, what do you do for fun?” How many times have we heard this question, asked or been asked this question, in the past few months? As the year started up, so too did the process of meeting new people — the unending chain of, “Hi, I’m [ ]”, “I’m from [ ]”, I’m majoring in [ ]”. But the question of hobbies signifies something a little bit deeper. In contrast to a name or home-state, hobbies supposedly represent what someone really cares about, and what they’ve truly chosen for themselves.
