A Triton is Born

Tis past Triton Day, Te Guardian spoke with our #FutureTritons about why they decided to commit to UCSD.

By Jenny Lee Contributing Writer

or many of us students, summer is like a refresh button. Fresh graduates are out seeking jobs or continuing their studies, and a wave of newly Fadmitted students prepare to come to UC San Diego. Some of these newly admitted students excitedly accepted their offer to UCSD, taking to Twitter to beam about committing to their dream school. However, the decision of where to spend the next four years may not be so clear cut for others. 20 percent of high school students apply to more than nine colleges, and more often than not, they get accepted into more than one. When choosing schools, students not only have to consider their academics, but also the location, finances, opportunities provided by the school, and reputation. UCSD applicants get to take part in the annual Triton Day, where newly admitted freshmen and their families are invited to visit the school and learn about the university’s academic departments, hear about campus services, and tour the dorms. This year’s Triton Day had an estimated 15,000 attendees. The school was buzzing with excitement, with organizations and departments setting up booths in Town Plaza in front of Price Center. Students who were ready to commit to UCSD could go King Triton greets the newly admitted UCSD Class of 2023 at Triton Day. to the “Accept Your Offer Tent,” where volunteers met them with chants and cheers.

The transition from high school academics to university level academics is drastic, and part of that comes from having to balance the responsibilities on our plate. It’s one of the main sources of stress for students, especially for those who have to maintain a good grade point average for graduate-level schooling. Despite worries about academia, UCSD students have kept up a mean cumulative GPA of 3.00 for the past 18 years. Many of the incoming freshmen were also curious and nervous about dorm life.

The UCSD Guardian wishes you good luck with your midterms! you can do it! A&E EDITOR // CHLOE ESSER & DAISY SCOTT [email protected] WEEKEND LIFESTYLE EDITOR // ANNIKA OLIVES [email protected] san diego asian film festival Spring Showcase Te San Diego Asian Film Festival returned April 11-18 with its 9th annual Spring Showcase. Tis year, the festival focused on diversifying the face of Asian cinema, demonstrating a variety of flms from over nine countries all across Asia. Here are the Guardian Arts and Entertainment staf’s favorite flms.

PHOTO BY SDAFF.ORG Indonesian director Edwin’s fourth feature flm, “Aruna & Her Palate,” traces the story of Aruna (), a food-obsessed epidemiologist sent across to investigate the possibility of an avian fu epidemic. Aruna, at the behest of her friends Bono (), a professional chef, and Nadezhda (Hannah Al Rashid), a culinary writer and critic, brings them along her journey to sample the regional cuisine of Indonesia. Te trio collectively partakes in an informal part culinary, part vocational trip. Along the way, they are also joined by Farish (Oka Antana), Aruna’s former co-worker and love interest who coincidentally is assigned to work the case with her. As the four individuals traverse the country in search of both epidemic evidence and mouth-watering Indonesian food, they ultimately encounter uniquely Indonesian aspects of religion, politics, conspiracy, and love. Te flm, though classifed as a romantic comedy, invokes vivid, compelling shots and descriptions of regional Indonesian cooking and food that seems to emulate cooking shows. Director Edwin manages to strike a balance between the hearty and genuine nature of street food and the sophistication required to depict the dishes on flm. Te camera movement serves to emphasize the movement and efort put into making each recipe while also aptly capturing the texture and color unique to Indonesian cuisine. Te food also takes on a symbolic value as the compatibility of favors within each dish embody the ever-evolving relationships between the characters. “Aruna & Her Palate,” amidst its investigative plot, ofers succinct and powerful insight into a South Asian country through Aruna & her Palate its style of cooking. — Aaron hong Directed by EDWIN Contributing Writer

PHOTO BY SDAFF.ORG Teresa (Perla Bautista) and Celso (Menggie Cobarrubias) are possibly the cutest elderly couple alive. At frst sight, it seems as if the greatest problem for the two may not be the pubic hairs Celso leaves on the soap bar that drive Teresa insane or the strange watermelon chicken stew that Teresa spontaneously put together, but that they just love each other too much. But when Teresa’s estranged husband Bene (Dante Rivero) falls ill and Teresa decides to take care of him, it seems not everything is as perfect as it seems. Together, Teresa and Celso must confront this elusive fgure from the past and fnd peace as Teresa spends more time with him in his fnal moments. “Waiting for Sunset” is a beautiful, heart-wrenching testament to the power of enduring love and the act of forgiving. With a stunning performance from Perla Bautista as the loving Teresa, the flm speaks to reconciliation with past and present, and the personal choices we make throughout our lives. With its muted amber palette evoking a slow encroaching twilight, “Sunset” approaches the uncertainty of old age with a certain sensibility and restraint, making for a viewing experience that is at once charming and heartbreaking.

PHOTO BY SDAFF.ORG Te Korean War ... and tap dancing? It’s an unlikely combination that “ Kids,” a 2018 movie directed by Kang Hyeong-cheol, tackles with mixed results. Do Kyung-soo, known as “D.O.” from K-pop group EXO, plays Roh Ki-soo, a North Korean prisoner of war. While at the Geoje prison camp overseen by Americans, Ki-soo spots Sergeant Jackson (Jared Grimes) tap dancing. Enthralled, he joins Jackson’s dance team, and Ki- soo’s new “yankee” pastime leads his comrades to question his loyalty. Well-choreographed tap dancing scenes are infectious enough to make viewers start tapping their feet, but dampening these fun, “Footloose”-esque scenes is a muddled political narrative that struggles to tell its anti-war message. Showy dance routines and cheesy visual efects are thrown in the mix with surprisingly bloody and sobering moments, and this jarring tonal disparity makes for a disorienting two-hour watch. For example, a confrontation between American soldiers and Ki-soo switches back and forth between a dance-of and an assault on Ki-soo. At worst, this trivializes the mistreatment of POWs; at best, viewers don’t know whether they’re supposed to laugh or feel sorry. “Swing Kids” tries to make its viewers do both, but, like Ki-soo learns, it’s safer of picking a side.

PHOTO BY SDAFF.ORG “Song Lang,” director Leon Le’s frst full-length flm, is a love letter to Vietnamese folk opera (known as cải lương) as well as a tender exploration of queer love in 1980s Vietnam. Te flm tells the story of Dung (Liên Bỉnh Phát), a ruthlessly efcient debt collector, and his fateful encounter with Linh Phuong (Isaac), the leading man of a cải lương troupe. Tey frst meet under contentious circumstances — Dung means to burn the troupe’s costumes when they fail to pay a loan on time. However, over the course of a night, the pair forms an unlikely, life-altering as they bond over family, art, and their mutual love of cải lương. Te flm is a captivating success, expertly exploring the push-and-pull between Vietnamese tradition and modern society. Dung plucks his song lang (a Vietnamese musical instrument) alongside Nintendo video games and cassette tapes. Haunting traditional folk music plays over shots of a changing urban Saigon. Te tension of change is most evident in Dung’s personal life — Dung must choose between moving forward in his cruel and unsatisfying life as a loan shark, or embracing his longtime love of cải lương. Liên Bỉnh Phát and Isaac are exceptional in their roles, conveying layers of churning emotions with only a few glances toward each other. When Dung meets Linh, their chemistry is immediate and electric. As their taunts evolve into intimate conversations and tentative interest, the two of them must navigate what they mean to each other, and SONG lAng what they are willing to sacrifce for a life worth living. — Tanya Nguyen Directed by LEON LE Contributing Writer

PHOTO BY SDAFF.ORG Sasha Li (Anna Akana) is facing a classic millennial dilemma: she’s a year out of school and more than ready to get her frst job but she lacks the experience to get the fashion designer position she desires. Fortunately for Sasha though, this is not the end of the world; her father Teddy Li (Richard Ng), CEO of a China-based toy company, keeps her well-funded with her million-dollar trust fund, half of which she has happily blown through on high fashion and wild nights. Enamored by her LA lifestyle, Sasha ignores her father, who she resents for his womanizing, yet simultaneously traditionalist ways. However, everything changes when her father cuts her of and presents her with an unappealing ultimatum — get a job and support herself, or move back to suburban China. Light-hearted and witty, “Go Back to China” presents a tale as old as time: the spoiled heiress who has to learn to grow up. But despite its Hallmark-esque tone and premise (heck, it even takes place during Christmas), it ofers a more nuanced look at the relationships between business, family, and culture. Sasha is not the classically vapid heroine who becomes charmed by an unfamiliar world. Instead, she forges more meaningful relationships with her father and sister while continuing to expose their faws and navigating boundaries. Funny and thoughtful, “Go Back to China” is a fresh heart- flled flm that’s sure to charm. Go back to china — CHLOE esser Directed by Emily Ting A&E Editor

The Types of People That Attend : An Unhelpful Guide By jade hookham LIFESTYLE staff writer

At last, the much-anticipated is right around the corner! As is the case with any other music event, Sun God allows us undergraduates to let loose during a day of unadulterated musical entertainment. After all, there are performances to see and plenty of memories to be made. Everyone is free to spend the day as they see fit (keeping in mind the Student Conduct Code, of course), truly allowing for freedom of expression. Having said that, I’ve found that observing other people during the festival is incredibly entertaining. So, what better to do than write an observational humor piece based on students’ behavior at Sun God? Nothing, I tell you. Nothing. Without further ado, here are six categories of UC San Diego students who gave me quite the chuckle. Please read on, laugh at some mediocre jokes, and perhaps relate to this plethora of student experiences.

The Overly Intense Moshers In this world, mosh pits are my absolute personal hell. When one meets a crowd full of fraternity brothers shoving one another, there is only one appropriate response: fear, and lots of it. During one fateful moment at last year’s Sun God, I found myself shoved into a corner as I bordered three war zones at once, cowering in the middle of the Bermuda triangle of mosh. I became a victim of non-consensual moshing, which is not an experience I care to repeat. Please keep the mosh pit enthusiasts away from us cowards, thanks. Luckily, they’re usually pretty easy to notice from afar, allowing for swift escape.

The Music Hipster Not to stereotype anyone, but I know that some students among the UCSD student body ought to be considered music snobs. I mean, they exist everywhere, right? I’m talking about the type of person who would complain when someone doesn’t know all the artists performing, or would sneer at anyone who’s having too good of a time. But above all, I’m sure certain students of the hipster persuasion would complain that the line-up is trash, no matter who is performing. In conclusion, they must really hate fun. To spot the music hipster, simply look for someone who permanently wears a disapproving scowl on their face.

The Casual Fan Who Came Because They Have Nothing Better To Do This person is the mortal enemy of the music hipster; nay, the bane of their existence. Why? Because casual fans couldn’t care less about the show itself. The casuals Just know that we’re judging you. show up to Sun God to either chill out with friends or get as “turnt” as possible (there’s no in-between). As someone who is musically ignorant, I will admit to being the filthy casual that I am, for transparency’s sake. Without a doubt, the best way to spot a casual is to find a confused person who is standing in the back end of the crowd.

The First-Year This category bears some similarity to the casual, with the exception that the freshman is genuinely excited to be at Sun God. They have no concept of what the festival will actually be like, so they tend to show up with shiny eyes and unrealistic expectations. As a result, first-years tend to have fun regardless of the festival’s actual quality since they haven’t become cynical and old like the rest of us. The exception to this rule perhaps applies to Coachella fanatics who don’t care for “inferior” festivals. Finding first-years is always easy; just look for people who still have hope in their eyes.

The Overtly Sexual Couples Whatever it is, something about Sun God makes people lose control of their inhibitions a bit, to the point of downright obscenity. Don’t get me wrong, couples can like each other! Cool! But, sometimes the rest of us end up witnessing things that we’d be better off never seeing. If I kept track of how many butts are grabbed at Sun God, I could have a large enough sample size to conduct a full-blown study on it. I don’t need to give advice on how to look for these guys since we’re better off not witnessing their shenanigans.

The People Sitting on Other People’s Shoulders I feel like this must be a safety hazard, but people seem to do it anyway. Godspeed to y’all, and please don’t fall off. That is all.

For some people, this article may serve as a guide for what to expect at Sun God. For others, this may have provided a good laugh. I hope nobody was severely offended during the reading of this piece. Have fun at Sun God, everyone!
