There are many things that can define a person’s identity: ethnicity, family and intrinsic values. Ever since I could remember, I knew exactly what the core parts of my essence were. I knew that above all, I was a student — an academic. Breathing life into books and reveling in research came as second nature to me. So, the day I discovered R.F. Kuang was the day that I thought I met my literary soulmate.

The first weekend of October is the perfect time to step into fall and explore the city. Baltimore has something for every mood, from the final night of Rotunda Rocks and the Poe Festival’s gothic flair to an Asian food market on the waterfront, a wine tasting street fest in Harbor East and a film festival taking over The Charles.

As I wait for the exams to be carefully distributed row by row, I remain patiently seated; at least, that is how it appears on the outside. However, internally, my heart is pounding as if it wants to break through my chest, and my mind is at war, scrambling thoughts running frantically around.

Am I doing this right? This question trailed me throughout high school, as I revised a single email twelve times or stared blankly at my math test. As an overthinker, I let that mantra play on repeat.

I wait outside of Remsen 101 at 9:49 a.m. Once the clock reads 9:50 a.m., the students from the room flush out, some munching on their breakfast, sipping their coffee, talking to friends, some waving at those waiting in the hallway. I patiently wait until I can trickle inside, then I find my seat and set up my laptop and tablet.

Reading “University students respond to the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” I was impressed by the way the paper addressed it: How do we protest the violent suppression of opinions while acknowledging the damage a person’s platform may inflict?

The 2025 WNBA playoff finals are upon us after a record high 44-game-long regular season of play has come to an end.

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 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.
