In the past, people often sought their long-lost loved ones by placing “missing person” or “lost family” advertisements in newspapers. Like those longing ads, I would like to write an advertisement today in our dear advertisement-free newspaper. Or to be more precise, I would like to post a letter t

Becoming “That Girl” has been trending on various social media such as TikTok and Youtube. That girl wakes up at 5.a.m. to work out and start the day.

The villagers gather together in the square in the beautiful summer breeze, where children pile up stones as the adult townsfolk assemble for their annual town lottery. As Mr. Summers, t

The first thing that came into sight was me seated on a wheelchair and being carried to somewhere else. This was odd – first, I do not have or use a wheelchair. Second, I was certainly on my way to meet my friend at a mall a few seconds ago. As I tried to get a sense of what was going on, the person

Although it is a term often associated with adolescence, identity crisis can happen to anyone, of any age, at any point in their life. Des

In Korea, the MBTI test is a rage. The last letter of one’s MBTI is either a P or a J, the former meaning you’re a procrastinator, and the latter that you’re a planner. My MBTI ends with a J. Naturally as a J, I strive for productivity. My scheduler is usually filled with things to do. I use black,

Once in a while, you come across a book that stays forever with you as if they have been imprinted on your brain. For me, the White Tiger was one of them. The White Tiger is a fiction novel written by an Indian author Aravind Adiga and it has recently been adapted to a film in January this year. The

It takes an hour from home to school when I am on the subway. That was also about the time presumed to take by bicycle. As somebody who becomes tired enough to fall asleep after visiting school for a single visit to the library, even to my impulsive soul the journey initially sounded a little out of

Do you have an interest in education? I doubt many people would say no. Having an interest in the education system myself, I became aware of the relation between education and creativity. Spending the recent midterm examination period loathing the fact of having to take tests, I wondered about the n

Around my first winter at Ewha which was two years ago, every seminar and speech that discussed the future involved topics concerning artificial intelligence. Also, Ewha was pushing itself to provide more in-depth lectures about the subject to the students as well, one example being the development

Readers would most likely agree that even articles have trends. Reporters scavenge for new issues, but as writings reflect the society it is hard not writing about overlapping contents. Last year when COVID-19 brought a halt in people’s lives, most editorials were written about writers’ overwhelming

How did you spend your winter break? I confess I spent a considerable amount of time on media content platforms watching TV shows, dramas, and movies. I assume many will empathize with me. With coronavirus confirmed cases spiking to more than 1,000 a day and the social distancing remaining at Level

The year is coming to end as December is around the corner and carols are playing in cafes. It has been a hectic year with the novel coronavirus outbreak which completely changed the lives of people in the way one works and socializes.

However, today, the world has become a place where humanity revolves around money.I agree that money do

I dont’t know how you remember 2016, but for me it was the year La La Land came out. This was back when Facebook was still in fashion – and my blue feed would fill up with friends posting their movie tickets and related merchandise. Some of the die-hard fans of American musical theater would go watc

Waking up in the morning and checking the number of coronavirus cases in Korea and other countries has become part of one’s daily routine since the outbreak. Awaiting the regular 11 o’clock and 2 o’clock announcements by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hoping for new measures o

Language learning is fun,do-able and exciting, especially in its early stages. Learning how to greet people in a foreign language as well as memorizing fruit and vegetable names is highly relaxing and rewarding. Sadly, this stage does not last that long. We are soon met with the grammar monster that

“And you know, sir, if you’ll excuse me saying it, there ISN’T a wholesale shop, not for Genuine Magic goods, sir. I don’t know if you noticed our inscription – the Genuine Magic shop.” He drew a business card from his cheek and handed it to me. “Genuine,” he said, with his finger on the word, and a

University has such a huge meaning in Korea. “Which school do you go to?” is a common question that young people in their 20s ask when they first see each other. In the 2000s, universities seem to have become a means to represent the identity of young people, more than a place to learn. “I’m a stude
