Like all social networking services (SNS), Instagram employs an algorithm to categorize and moderate the information users create. These algorithms are manuals that instruct artificial intelligence (AI) on how to analyze and sort user-generated content per the platform’s community guidelines. Throug
Soccer is my greatest teacher because it has taught me the value of being a true leader. When I first started playing soccer, I was only one of the two Asian players on my team. I remember feeling neglected and discriminated against because before I got a chance to prove myself, I was labeled as inf
I would like to introduce five of the most impressive places that I visited throughout my trip to Sydney, Australia with my family. Gap Park was the first destination of my trip that made me realize I was truly in Australia. Despite the thick fog obscuring the horizon that day, the cliffs and the cr
Three months have passed since I left Ewha Voice. It is no exaggeration to say that Ewha Voice was my everything for the past two years of college life, as I right away became a reporter here as soon as I entered Ewha. I did struggle and wander a lot while working as a journalist for the first time
Baseball has become a “culture” since its introduction in Korea over a century ago. The industry gradually grew into a cherished pastime with a unique culture and a passionate fan base. The professional baseball league was first founded with six teams in 1982. The first game in Korea Baseball Organi
Avocados, once a humble fruit, have become an iconic symbol of modern diets, particularly among millennials and Generation Z. Their creamytexture and versatile flavor make them a staple in various culinary creations, and they have undeniably left a significant mark on the food market. Everybody is i
It was truly hard to find a topic to write about. First thought was to write a useful column for possible readers but then the thought of telling people what I wanted to say about my country won over it. Therefore, this writing will be about how I have been thinking of people from other countries ha
“Which country are you from?” Most people can answer this question smoothly. However, I cannot. I have thought about the answer to the question more frequently since I came to this university. I am not annoyed with being asked the question, but I am just annoyed with not being able to answer this qu
Growing up, I was a huge bookworm. Thanks to my godmother, a middle school teacher, I developed my love for reading very early on and always had one book or another under my arm. Whenever I was allowed to choose my own gifts, the answer would always be the same: please, give me a book. During that t
This spring, when I was just getting started at university as a freshman, I was surprised by a message from a number I was sure would never see on my phone again: my old high school. It said, “We are looking for university mentors for our students. The mentoring program will take place at our high s
When we think of international problems, we tend to think that adults are the hero to solve them. Some say that politicians should act more vigorously to stop the war, and some say that they have a dream that they would solve hunger problems when they become a diplomat. But, there are some problems
When I keep my mouth shut I am perceived as a guy more often than I am perceived as a girl. A lady takes a glance at me washing my hands in the sink at the women’s bathroom and walks back out, looks at the sign that has a little stick figure with a triangle for a skirt that says Woman, looks back at
Stepping into my freshman year, I warmly welcomed the beginning of my university journey and I hardly found myself struggling with a sense of unfamiliarity or disconnection that most of my friends were going through. However, as time passed, my serene sense started to waver, leaving me with a profou
I call my Tuesdays and Fridays, my crazy days. From 11:00 a.m. to 6:15 p.m., I have back-to-back classes in all different buildings. From ECC to Moriss Hall, to POSCO and then back to ECC, these 15 minutes were like a countdown to my doom especially as a new student navigating the colossal campus at
“When life gives you, lemons make lemonade.” For the past 20 years of my life, this simple and well-known saying has been my motto. I try not to take things as it is and make the most about it. This way of life has allowed me to experience and commit to more than I had expected to be in front of me.
When I decided to write this article, I pondered for a large chunk of time about what I should discuss in my writing. I concluded to talk about my own unique experiences with a variety of cultures and people while living abroad. Hence, I would like to share what I observed during my life in the Phil
Even in Korea, I couldn’t distill the California saltwater from my veins when I wrote countless drafts of short stories and memoirs between Korean language arts and Social Studies. The rhythms of traditional Indian dances alongside my best friend, the memories of climbing trees and 4th of July firew
Everyone knows that COVID19 strengthened individualism in a global society. Yet some people neglect how much it solidified the individual connections itself. Some of the 2023 trend keywords were: R : Redistribution of the AverageA : Arrival of a New Office Culture B : Born Picky, Cherry-sumerB: Budd
When I was asked to write a column, I made a bulleted list of things I have done in the past years, and I realized something: I have done so many different things that have nothing to do with each other. For your information, the list goes like this: studying abroad, Drama Club, Student Council, Val
I am going to tell you a really hard story today. I don’t know how many people will agree with me because this is so difficult in reality. However, I am sure that this story is worth discussing. There is my favorite quote. “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to d
