"Sushi is good :)"
"For Christmas me and my extended family met up to have a big feast. This picture shows all the desert we had, which was super tasty. It included cheesecake, macarons, fruit, and much more. I also had another snack called the Oey Oey but I didn’t get permission to take a photo of it ☹️☹️☹️."
"This is Hot Pot. A dish that a lot of asian people enjoy. You can put anything you want in the pot and enjoying it with family is the best."

"Something about the song (I AM by IVE) just clicks with my brain. I like playing it on repeat when I feel out of it."
"I chose this picture because it reminds me of eating good with my family for thanksgiving. It makes me feel happy that I have a caring and loving family."
"I picked this picture because I had it for a long time and it hasn’t left my side, it is such a cute bear and I just love how it looks. I choose this song (Wellerman by Nathan Evans) because the song interpretation in my opinion is hunting for their own supplies."

Harvest of Happiness
"I chose this picture because it’s a collection of all the pumpkins my family and I picked. This is one of the Halloween traditions we like to do, and we set all 5 of them up on our stoop. We got the pumpkins at a farm while we were upstate, which is why they’re such diverse colors and shapes (the black pumpkin is called a black cat!)."
"Banana: The four seasons"
"I picked this picture because my friend and I were going around our neighborhood as Pokémon. A Charmander and a Pikachu. We had lots of fun and received a lot of candy."

"Well.. I was gonna study for history midterms but I was like nahhh I can do that tomorrow so u ended up practicing some songs I'm learning on the guitar instead. Photo above is me picking up my guitar pick cuz I dropped it in my guitar 😭"
"It was great. We don't see each other too often because our schedules are different. It has been a hectic time with all the tests and homework, but I was able to unwind and spend some time talking to them."
"I read Kadohata’s “A Place To Belong” and it was pretty good. It’s about a young Japanese American girl figuring her life out the aftermath of WW1 and being rejected by her own birth country. I always enjoy a good historical fiction."

Self-Care Week: 30 Minutes of You!
"I spend time with my family and eat a huge meal together. It ranges from turkey and mash potatoes to hotpot. I enjoy the food nevertheless."
"For Thanksgiving, my parents and I always drive to Pennsylvania to spend the holiday with my dad’s side of the family. A few days before leaving for Pennsylvania, my dad and I make cranberry sauce together, which is our signature contribution to the dinner feast. The morning of, we watch the Macy’s parade from our hotel room tv and visit Longwood gardens if it’s not completely freezing outside."
"In my family, we celebrate by going out to a fox hunting cabin in Virginia. Pretty much everyone on my dad’s side of the family is there, and everyone has a signature dish that they always make. But my favorite part is this: after everyone’s eaten, we recite poems and sing songs. It’s super fun!"

2021-2022
"My family celebrated Chinese New Year. We eat food with the entire family. There a few dishes like fish and dumplings that are always on the table as we eat due to it having a good meaning. My family also cleans before the New Years in order to remove the bad luck from the previous new year. We also don’t clean or cut our hair during new year because it is like removing your good luck from the new year."
"My family and I celebrate Chinese New Year. We would partake in a number of traditions around that time of year. My favorite parts are the giving and receiving of red envelopes and feasting on authentic Asian cuisines."
"My family celebrate Christmas. We usually have family gatherings to eat hot pot and exchange gifts at my house."
