When sticky substances lead to tricky situations December 15, 2023 — by Divya Vadlakonda While the story I am about to tell may be new to readers, it is not new for people I’ve played Truth or Dare with over the years. Nor is it new for my sixth-grade Core teacher when I presented my end-of-the-year writing assessment. It is especially not new to the various kids I lured […] read more » Measuring timelessness: re-reading and rating my favorite childhood classics December 15, 2023 — by Leyna Chan Thanks to my frequent trips to Barnes & Nobles at age 8, I used to fall asleep leafing through novels with the most delicate usage of language I’d ever read and dreaming of hidden gardens, unadulterated sunsets and wintertime firelight. Recently, I brushed the dust from some of their covers and relived the nostalgia within […] read more » Fortune cookies may not crack me up, but I sure do crack them (and myself) up December 15, 2023 — by Kathy Wang Strolling past the cash register of Newark Buffet — a restaurant I regularly visited in my childhood — my 8-year-old self’s eyes latched onto a gleaming glass bowl that overflowed with individually wrapped fortune cookies. Before my parents walked out the restaurant door, I swiftly snatched a cookie, saving it as a sweet car ride […] read more » Crocheting: not just a granny craft December 15, 2023 — by Ariel Zhou Growing up, I would spend hours perched next to my grandmother’s wooden rocking chair, watching in awe as the yarn danced between her fingers while she crocheted.
