COLUMNS
Column: Saying farewell to wild, irresponsible summer
Aug. 27, 2012It was Sunday morning and I knew before I even opened my eyes that it was going to be a bad day.

Column: Sophia's Chinerica: Lingering culture clashes stall trap
Aug. 27, 2012Here I am waiting in the German Consulate in Chicago. This is my second attempt at getting a German visa to study at the University of Leipzig. Last time, the official told me that my U.S. visa would expire during the intended trip. My only choice was to go back to China, renew my U.S. visa, come back to the United States and apply for a German visa again. According to the German official, and an advisor at OU’s office of International Student and Faculty Services, it was the only way.

Post Column: Laughin' Mad: Was Romney born on Earth? A serious debate
May 29, 2012ust as the sun rises and sets with the passing of the days, so too does Donald Trump seem to rise and fall in media attention. (Also like the sun, he is extremely bright-colored and radiates a large amount of hot air.)
Post Column: We, the Students: Exchange programs help create a "trans"-society
May 29, 2012Once I asked a student from Lithuania — now a good friend of mine on Facebook — to tell me about life in his home country. “It’s just like everywhere else. The world is so globalized, you know,” he said.

We, The Students: Healthful foods prep brain for productivity
May 22, 2012It’s almost summer-hot; the body feels rebellious against any extra clothing put on it; the dreams are all about splashing waves, ocean breezes and ice cream. What a familiar string of sensations! Allowing our sun-melted imaginations to roam that far, coming back to reality may seem depressing and dreary: There’s still school every day and studies are as intense as ever.
