10 Indian Childhood Memories Guaranteed To Bring Back The Smell Of Mom's Curry

Sit back, relax, and let the curry powder smell take you away...

1. Setting off their first firework at the tender age of 7

And then running for dear life as soon as it lights

2. The constant comparison between any other Indian child who BREATHES

Giphy

You're right mom. I should have won the Spelling Bee. I'm sorry you were left with such a miserable child.

3. Having to pretend you like an Aunty’s food while your parents break down your back

Giphy

Hey, she's nice. Her food... not so much.

4. Having to pretend to remember that Aunty because she expects to even though you last spoke when you were 3

Giphy

Yeah, sure I remember you. Now please stop pinching my cheeks.

5. Relatives actually looking to set you up with other “Good Indian” potential spouses, because what is the purpose of life without marriage and medicine?

Giphy

Hard. Pass. But I will help myself to more food.

6. Hearing the crazy stories of your parents tying fireworks to their cow’s tails

Giphy

LOOK INTO ITS EYES. IT DOES NOT DESERVE THIS FATE.

7. Bringing your friend of another race over and being inquired about the ‘curry smell’

Giphy

And the smell following you into you're clothes, bags, and everything in between.

8. Dreading the day you had to bring grades home.

Giphy

None of your white friends could relate

9. Your parents swearing that vapor rub will fix your rash,fever, and stress

Giphy

They put that on everything

10. Iconic brown people parties, that blows the American Red Cup party way out of the water

Giphy

First drink, spin the bottle, we invented the party game, son

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
