Traditions from Home to University

  A really important habit that I have tried to adhere to is taking my foot wear off once I enter my room. This is a tradition that my family and I practice at home, before entering the house, so that we don't bring in the dirt from outside. Though it is a little difficult following it in a residence hall and my room mates walk around in shoes, I try my best.

  Whenever there is a Hindu festival, I just wear some traditional, casual clothes so that I can connect with my culture on that day. Not that I pray or worship or anything, but it feels good that I'm trying to uphold some customs.
