“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
It is often said that the family is the first and smallest community that humans experience. As it occurs naturally, you cannot refuse to be a member of a family, and family members are closer than any other people, but it is never easy to be a perfect family member. Modern Family, which has aired s
The season of scorching hot weather and pouring rain is coming to an end, and the start of a brand new semester awaits ahead. While summer break is indeed a period of rest and relaxation, it is also a stage for reflection and reinvention. After a long span of preparation, Ewha Voice has returned wit
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
“Educated” is a mentally, emotionally impactful memoir of Tara Westover that is impossible to put down. During the entirety of the book, it honestly felt that it would have been more convincing if this book were to be fiction with all the unbelievable and startling tales Westover shares about her li
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
“This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront, this is not a love story. This is a story about love.” This line from the first few minutes of the film perfectly sums up what “500 Days of Summer” truly encapsulates. Directed by Marc Webb and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H
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
Midterms are over. This time, you truly tried your best and put in the effort to do well on your exams. Going into each exam, you were confident, because there is no way the endless hours you have devoted and countless times you have gone over the material will betray you. Once the anxiety that has
“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
Television comedy shows in South Korea have taken a new turn in recent years, depicting intergenerational workplace conflicts in a new light. The term “MZ” stands for “Millennials and Generation Z,” two generational cohorts who share certain characteristics, such as growing up with digital technolog
As I hit the “upload” button, I peeked at the clock on my desk which flashed 11:52 p.m. Rubbing my eyes, I sighed heavily and traced back the list of things I had left for the night. It was a Friday. Not just any Friday, but a Friday where there were no emails, no meetings, no revisions, no edits, n
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
