Every October I find myself swept up by the mystic, spooky spirit of Halloween. I have wonderful memories of the holiday, from dressing up in costumes with my family to traversing the neighborhood with my elementary school friends. It is a holiday steeped in a particularly potent nostalgia that I am always excited to reconnect with.

With the brisk autumn atmosphere setting into Princeton’s campus, my usual iced tea orders are quickly being replaced by warm drinks better fit for the incoming chilly seasons. Instead of an energizing coffee, I gravitate towards hot chocolate — the sweeter and more festive winter alternative in my opinion. I’ve always found myself holding a mug of hot chocolate over coffee; in high school, I would prepare a Thermos to savor the drink during my 7:30 a.m. classes, and I usually brought hot chocolate for classmates to celebrate my birthday right before Christmas.

Coming from a frosh whose midterms hit them like a truck: how can Halloween be approaching so quickly when it feels like we just got to Princeton but also feel like we have been here for years?

For many, Halloween elicits nostalgia as a yearly invitation to look back on your childhood when you could dream without any constraints. Halloween is the one night a year when fantasy is reality, when ghosts and ghouls freely roam the streets.

In Drapkin Studio, the stage is blue-lit — the elegant performance space is empty but crackling with creative energy in preparation for the first reading of the 2023–24 Althea Ward Clark W’21 Reading Series.

Given the lack of diversity within the traditional literary canon (drinking game: take a shot for every famous author named “Jack” or “John”), it may come as a surprise that Amy Tan’s “The Joy Luck Club” is not the only Asian book on the literary scene. Having discovered this fact, I’ve made a conscious effort to read more books by authors of Asian descent, especially those dealing with “third culturism” — the reconciliation of an inherited culture with a different culture that one grew up or resides in. These are 10 of my favorite books by authors of Asian descent featuring Asian main characters, ranked from least to most focused on Asian identity.

One of my fondest memories of fall semester last year took place at Blair Arch. With a cup of apple cider in one hand and a cupcake in the other, I stood under the arch listening to the soothing, harmonious voices of VTone as they sang mashups from artists like Joji and Kenshi Yonezu. Ever since, I’ve been a fan of VTone, Princeton’s premier East Asian acapella group which performs mashups of Korean pop, Chinese pop, and Japanese pop songs. For this special issue spotlighting Asian voices on Princeton’s campus, I sat down with Inwoo Shin ’26, the vice president of VTone, to hear her reflections on her journey with VTone thus far.

On Wednesday, Oct. 3, Princeton’s McCarter Theatre was home to the Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de México. The orchestra put on an enthralling live-to-concert performance of the score of the award-winning Pixar film “Coco” as the film played on the screen for a young audience eager to revisit the crowd-pleasing story. With its spirited 20-person ensemble, the Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de Mexico's version of “Coco” was a lively celebration of the movie’s musical roots, likely as unforgettable for me as it was for the concert’s many young attendants.

Released on Sept. 29, Ed Sheeran’s album “Autumn Variations” was perfectly timed with the first organic chemistry exam of the fall semester. With the leaves beginning to turn, midterms on the horizon, and an exam around the corner, I shut myself in one of Princeton’s many towers to immerse myself in molecular and musical resonance.

Dear Sexpert,

Nearing midterms week, I’ve found myself craving an extra caffeine boost to get me through the day. As someone who gets tired and has headaches from drinking coffee — does anyone else experience this? — my saving grace is a good cup of matcha. As I’m sure all matcha-lovers know, however, the perfect cup of matcha is very hard to find. In the past week, I’ve made it my mission to drink at the most popular matcha places around Princeton to determine where the go-to place is, regardless of if you’re a matcha aficionado or curious first-timer.

For the Wang family, fully celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival — meant to bring families together — in West Virginia is seemingly impossible when most of the family is a 12-hour flight away in China.

Most people don’t find themselves yearning to grow up in a small Kentucky town. And as someone who grew up there, I spent years wishing I was anywhere else. Wishing I lived in a city where the best hangout spot wasn’t a run-down mall with a movie theater, Dollar Store, Roses, and Shoe Show. Wishing my hometown was known for something more than being a crater in the Appalachian Mountains — yes, my hometown was actually built in a crater. Wishing I didn’t have to drive two hours to go anywhere remotely interesting.

It’s that time of year: the trees around campus are turning a brilliant yellow, filling Princeton’s signature cobblestone paths with crunchy leaves. Students feverishly study for their midterms at Firestone. And as the weather gets chillier, the Coffee Club’s doors are open, offering students a warm respite with its new array of fall drinks. As someone who spends most of their time split between Campus Club and the NCW Coffee Club, I decided to embark on the mission of trying the full slate of new beverages.

Frist Campus Center hosts various delectable spots for students to grab a bite to eat or drink, including cafes, a convenience store, and the much-esteemed late meal. Café Vivian, tucked into the back corner of Frist’s first floor, is a lunch spot that recently opened for the year. Attracted to the brightly-lit, retro-style entrance sign, I decided to check it out.

Once students pass the illustrious FitzRandolph Gate and enter the suburbia of Princeton, N.J., they are greeted by a town full of food and shopping. For the past 86 years, the town has been partly defined by one historic establishment: Conte’s Pizza and Bar.
