Chinese rice dumplings are on everybody's table in China when it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival. The dumplings are pyramid-like and are made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. Here are the most popular flavors of Chinese rice dumplings that nobody can say NO to!

1. Salted Duck Yolk With Pork Rice Dumpling

This is definitely my favorite flavor. First, the colors just look so match up and I can't help eating two or more every time. The combination of the yolk and pork blends in the mouth and gives me the feeling of both the softness of the egg yolk and also the chewable of the pork. The soy sauce that soaked the rice before also adds strong flavor. Especially with the pleasant smell of the bamboo wrap, the whole thing just tastes like a masterpiece.

2. Red Bean Paste Rice Dumpling

This kind of rice dumpling's rice is not pre-soaked with soy sauce. It won't make sense to mix the taste of saltiness and sweetness, because that would make it so awkward. However, the bamboo leaves' faint smell adds up and still makes it a duo enjoyment. You first smell it, and then you want to try it. The sweetness of the red bean is fully developed with the "sandy" texture when you eat it. It's the best choice if you want to add a little sweetness after the meal.

3. Abalone Rice Dumpling

This rice dumpling is probably one of the most luxurious dumplings. Merchandises usually never put abalones alone. They like to add other seafood or expensive mushrooms with the abalones to make it more delicious and also to sell it at a much higher price. However, I would say the taste is always worth the price. The taste of the abalone and other ingredients are just so soft that you just want to swallow them. The soy sauce used in this kind of dumpling is also different from others. It usually has more layers of taste and blends with the smell of the bamboo leave more thorough. If you crave for something that is limited or luxurious, this rice dumpling is definitely your dish.

4. Ice Cream Rice Dumpling

Yeah, that's right your eyes didn't lie to you or anything. Here it is, it's the ice cream rice dumpling. Honestly, I don't know how and why people come up with this idea of putting ice cream into the rice dumplings, but you have to admit that this idea is really creative and it really got me when I first saw it.

The rice in the original dumplings is replaced by the crystal-like ice rind that is totally transparent. The inside is sorbet-like ice cream with different flavors. Actually, I think the business that first comes up with this idea is Starbucks. They copyrighted their ice cream dumplings and named them the Starbucks Dragon Dumplings. However, they are designed specifically for China area.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
