IT IS 7:00 in the morning. I wake up and take a 10-minute shower and brush my teeth at the same time. Then I spend the next 40 minutes grooming my hair and putting on my makeup. I am extra careful not to burn myself as I curl my hair with a hot curling iron. Next, I decide what to wear and choose a ruby-red v-neck sweater with a long, white coat. I look at the clock. It took more time than I expected to get ready, so I skipped breakfast and hurried out of the house. In front of the elevator, my neighbor smiles to me and says, “Good morning, young man. Have a nice day.” Yes, I am a man. Broaden

As a college student, marriage is no longer the object of virtual game but has become a close reality for us. After years in college, what kind of marriage will we experience? What will be waiting for us after marriage? What kind of changes would our marriage bring about? The *Yonsei Annals* asked 780 Yonseians on their opinions about marriage and family.

IN HIGH school, we dreamed of walking along Baekyang-ro elegantly as Yonseians. However, in reality, reading assignments, term papers and exams often seem to be the only things waiting for us. University students have to live up to many expectations as students while engaging in various activities. And if you’re lucky enough to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, 24 hours is not enough. Likewise, there are so many things to do as a college student, yet so little time to complete them. With such lack of time, Hyu-hak , a leave of absence, rose up as an option that students recently consider serious

IN THIS year’s AKARAKA festival, zombies were witnessed on the Yonsei Sinchon Campus. Participants of the “Zombie Run” were running around campus, chased by student volunteers helping out as AKARAKA staff members disguised as zombies.

Not only do zo

DURING HIGH school years, students learn about the tragic modern Korean history and feel enraged at the shame and pain Korea had to go through. But even though they feel enraged, students do not take a genuine interest in history, thinking that it only provides a list of dull dates and facts. For those who have been fed up with such tiresome history classes, the exhibition *A story of Dongnong family: 27 years with the Korean Provisional Government* provides a chance to understand history in a refreshing way, by placing in the spotlight some of the actual people involved in historical events.W

THE WORD “Babelism” refers to the misunderstandings or conflicts that arise from miscommunication due to the existence of a number of diverse languages. It has originated from the story of the tower of Babel in the bible. According to the book of Genesis, mankind once shared one language and lived in peaceful coexistence. However, one day, men built a tower which can reach the heaven, and this arrogance infuriated the God. God punished them by confusing their language, forever preventing them from ever challenging God under one united group. As a result, the language barrier was created, and s

KO SANG-JI is one of the few bandoneon musicians in Korea. She is not the first bandoneon player in Korea, but she is undeniably the most well-known. She gained her popularity through her performance at the 2011 *Moo-Han-Do-Jeon* West Coast Highway Music Concert, a concert organized by the most popular variety show in Korea. Despite her popularity, she was evidently humble, choosing her words carefully throughout the interview. But the musician’s story is full of challenges and dynamics nevertheless. A math genius Ko was not always a musician. In her teenage days, she was a talented mathematic
