Recently I started going back to the Asian American Christian Fellowship large group meetings on Thursday nights. I had night classes last semester and was unable to attend for awhile. It has been amazing to witness the group grow in size, to meet new underclassmen, and to realize the change that has come about since […]

Yesterday I was reflecting on the ways Marsh Chapel welcomes international students as I was talking to a student conducting interviews for her class. Her first contact with Marsh Chapel was through Global Dinner Club. As I reflected on my time here, I remembered first meeting Brother Larry through the FY101 (First Year 101) class–we met in […]

Time seems to be flying by as we approach December. As I am writing my personal statements for grad schools applications, I reflect on what I have done my whole life and what I aspire to do. I have great expectations for the next semester and beyond and am thankful for my parents, teachers and friends […]

This week I volunteered at Greenbuild, the world’s largest green building conference/expo. I was overwhelmed and inspired by the local and international attendants who cared deeply about sustainability and was present to learn and share best practices. I had the privilege to attend a session called “Envisioning the Future” hosted by Boston Society of Architect’s […]

Dean Hill’s Reformation Sunday speech was striking to me, especially the part on Martin Luther’s sermon, The Freedom of the Christian: A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all. These two theses seem to contradict each other. If, however, they should […]

This week I heard a beautiful story from Paul Lyons, BU alum and founder of a solar consulting company Zapotec Energy. I am working on a solar canopy proposal for Earth House, a dorm I lived in last year, and I am so grateful to have the support and guidance of someone like Paul. Here […]

As I am preparing to apply for grad school and jobs, I find that I keep coming back to the question of motivation. What do I wake up everyday feeling excited for, what am I aiming to accomplish in the next thirty minutes, what am I learning and researching and how will it lead to something meaningful. Time passes by […]

I really appreciated Brother Larry coming to talk to us on Monday about how to deal with emergencies and death. My friend passed away in the summer and I was not quite sure what to do after feeling the initial state of shock. It is tragic to see someone with as much potential as her die […]

Today I met up with a high school friend and we talked about how different religions can be appropriated or transferred over time, and how it is hard to believe in Christianity for some people because of the way it has been associated with colonialism. I am still wrestling with what being a Christian means and […]

I have been able to rest well over the last few days and realized how important it is to take rest. It has become increasingly apparent to me that I should take a moment to reflect and think about what matters, not to rush into things hastily, to trust in God and pray so I can […]
