Hello blog, today is October 25, 2025. I got about five hours of sleep! I had my chem midterm today, so I’m not sure how to feel about that. However, I’m glad it’s over. I spent time running with my friends and hanging out with Kaylee. See you tomorrow!

Hello blog, today is October 24, 2024, and I am feeling a bit better! I went to Kerckhoff, then English, then ate some food, then a coffee chat, then back to my dorm to lock in. I sniped some of our friends along the way. I had Rende with Henry and got hot cocoa from The Study! My sleep was pretty solid last night, so I think my health improved, but I still feel bad for strangers around me in public when I start hacking away. #thursday

Identity Essay
Growing up as a third-generation Asian-American has had a significant impact on my identity, shaping it in unique ways that blend heritage and modern American culture. Being further removed from the immigrant experience than previous generations, I’ve had the privilege of growing up fully immersed in American society, but this also comes with its own complexities regarding how I connect with my cultural roots.
One of the main ways this upbringing has affected me is through the balancing act of maintaining a connection to my Asian heritage while feeling fully American. Both my parents were born and raised in California, and my grandparents moved to the U.S. when they were pretty young. I grew up having predominantly non-Asian family friends, and when I got to middle/high school, it was obvious I was not as connected to my roots as my new Asian friends were. I never learned to speak Korean or Cantonese, as my family only speaks English at home. The only words I knew were food names. While my mom spoke Korean to her own parents, my dad never even learned another language besides English as his parents wanted him to assimilate to the American culture.
Moreover, being third-generation, I’ve sometimes felt a sense of distance from my Asian identity compared to my older relatives. However, I took it upon myself to learn Korean in high school so that I could converse with my grandmother more, and just this past year at UCLA, I feel like I got in touch a lot more with my Chinese side.
Nonetheless, I have come to the conclusion that I do like where I stand in terms of my cultural identities. I appreciate that I grew up in such diversity. My childhood consisted of attending my Korean church and celebrating New Years Day traditions while also listening to country music at my neighbor's chili cook-off.
In essence, growing up third-generation Asian-American means navigating a blend of cultures—a journey that has both challenges and rewards as I carve out a unique identity.

Hello blog. Holy crusty this picture is so bad but it perfectly represents my day. My room should be an isolation room from how much my roommate, Maya, and I are hacking away. It’s honestly disgusting and I feel so bad for my other roommate Kimi. We are constantly sniffling and having coughing attacks #ew. Today, I had a mixture of symptoms. I first woke up feverish and had hot flashes on the way to campus, then during my work meeting, I felt like I was about to pass out. I spent increments of 10 mins coughing in the bathroom because it was one of those phases where there’s a constant unstoppable itch in your throat. Then, at night, I got chills. Brrr! I said ooohhhh… it’s cold in here….. there must be some alphas in the atmosphere….. 😈🐺 Hopefully with enough DayQuil I’ll be okay tomorrow. I do feel bad that I could not be there for my besties during our usual exercising. I hope it was alright for them. 🙏
