February 8th 2016, is the Chinese New Year.In China, we have a special calendar which is called lunar calendar. Chinese celebrating their New Year are the same as Americans celebrating Christmas Day. People usually have dumplings at that day and have lunch or dinner with relatives and family.
Although I am studying in America now, UPJ has CSSA which we can enjoy Chinese holidays in the school. On Monday the school and CSSA helped our Chinese students to hold a Chinese New Year party. There were lots of food and drinks in the Cambria room. Many professors and international students came and joined us. To our surprise, there was not only traditional chinese food but also hot pot there. The food was really delicious and made me miss my home.
Like last year, no relatives come to America to visit me in the New Year, but I have many good friends and international students as well as professors having fun in the school. I love the environment here and I can also enjoy the Chinese holidays. My wish is that I can have good grades in 2016 and make more friends.
