I recently discovered a small homely cafe called 1541. It’s tucked away in a little nook, but it has an amazing outside seating, making it an amazing spot for the fall and spring seasons. I went inside with my mother, and the smell of coffee filled my nose. It was […]

The Man In The Bowler Hat
Sweat dripped down my back as I trudged down the sidewalk. Cars zoomed by and the pungent smell of sewers wouldn’t get out of my nose. There wasn’t even a hint of a breeze as the sun glared into my eyes, devoid of any respite from the morning’s hide-and-seek. All […]
Women In STEM: Representation Matters
I have always been interested in pursuing a career in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math–otherwise known as STEM. As a three-year-old, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I replied “a doctor” without hesitation. My response would surprise those around me, and I couldn’t understand why […]

Review: Good Luck and Good Times Tea House- Rose Boba Milk Tea
My first time tasting boba tea was at Good Luck and Good Times Tea House. There were so many choices from tropical to coffee (maybe flip coffee and tropical). I chose a rose boba milk tea. The tea was exceptionally amazing! It was nice and cold, which was very refreshing […]
Review: T.Jins
It was a sweltering night. My mom’s car’s AC was broken. The only thing that kept me from turning back was the hope and promise of orange chicken at T. Jins. Medium-sized chicken pieces with orange glaze perked up my taste buds. Not only was it fried goodness, the orange-flavored […]
Art or Math?
“We are going to Houston tonight! Pack your bags!” That is the first sentence my dad said when he came home from work. At first I thought he was joking because who would drive to Houston at 9 p.m. after a long day of work, regardless if it’s summer vacation […]
Debkonya’s Delights: Summer 2022
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.” -Virginia Woolf Meals at my house are always colorful and different each day! It was all thanks to my mom’s creative ideas! So I decided that over the summer that I would make and record dishes […]
Mango Lassi
It’s summer. The sun is glaringly bright. You could fry an egg on the sidewalk. No wind in sight. Fall leaves, snowballs, and spring flowers are a thing of the past. Frequent ice cream runs, long cool showers, and even standing in front of the open refrigerator door is the […]
The Endless Inferno Called Summer: Week 12
Hello, hello again. So much has happened in the past six weeks. I finally convinced my parents to join Team Buy-A-Car-For-Emily-Even-If-She-Is-A-Bad-Driver. I got my phone taken away the week after. I grew a little bit. Horizontally. And I received the much dreaded AP English III summer reading assignment, which I […]
