AGAIN, THE month of Halloween. Soon the streets will be filled with Halloween party-goers, sweet toothed trick or treaters, and eager costume wearers. However, Halloween is not only about simple fun and festivities. Halloween originated from a Celtic tradition; the ancient Celts used to dress up as ghosts to defend against evil spirits that were believed to appear once a year. People directly faced their fears in order to conquer them. In this month’s Voice on Campus, *The Yonsei Annals* asked several Yonseians what their worst fears are.

COUNTLESS FILMS are being released even at this very moment. With the increasing number of films, more people than ever, especially those in their twenties*, are watching movies. As there are many different genres of movie, there are also different kinds of characters. Some win the audience’s favor, while others raise eyebrows. In this month’s Voice on Campus, The Yonsei Annals asked Yonseians about their favorite movie characters and their reasons.

AT ONE point in your life, you might have yearned to rewind time to a moment in the past, or fast-forward it to the future. The Yonsei Annals found out what Yonseians miss of their childhood, or look towards in the future. If you were given an opportunity to become any age you want, and to live for however long you’d like, what age would that be?

RECENTLY, THE 19th National Assembly of South Korea has been criticized for its low legislative approval rate of 12.5%. With its seemingly sluggish work performance and ignominy of some of its members, the National Assembly had long been viewed with public skepticism from the public. Many even jokingly say that they would do a much better job than the current members of the National Assembly. With the general election coming up next month, The Yonsei Annalsasked students about the policies they would issue if they were members of the National Assembly.

“YOU BETTER watch out. You better not cry. He knows if you've been bad or good.” This is part of the lyrics of the popular Christmas carol, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” As children on Christmas Eve, we used to go to bed, hoping we had been good children. This was all because Santa Claus gave gifts to only those who were well behaved. Now that we are university students, we may wonder which of us would actually receive gifts from Santa. If Santa Claus really existed, for whom would he sneak into chimneys? In this month’s Voice on Campus, The Yonsei Annals asked various Yonsei University st

IF SOMEONE asks you what you would choose to eat for lunch, you could probably answer without much thought. However, if someone tells you that you could only eat three foods for the rest of your life, you might not choose as easily. Some people will choose their favorite dishes while also considering long-term health effects, and some will choose foods that they would expect to enjoy eating forever. Let’s hear the three foods that Yonseians would choose to eat for the rest of their lives, ranging from seafood and meat to instant noodles. Park Jee-youn (Fresh., Dept. of Clothing & Textiles)With

ONE DAY of the year, you can dress up as anyone from your wildest dreams and beg for free candy on the streets. Getting dressed up with gory details of blood and knocking on strangers’ doors and threatening them for candy would send you to jail on any other normal day, but not this day! You guessed it: Halloween! Unfortunately, Halloween is not too big of a celebration in Korea, but the tides are changing as places like Hongdae, Itaewon, and Gangnam are hosting more and more extravagant Halloween parties for everyone to enjoy. Of course students of Yonsei University would not have escaped the

JUNE BRINGS feelings of ambivalence to students; the dreadful finals are just around the corner but so is summer vacation! Vacation is a time not only for relaxation but also for great opportunities – a chance to go on an adventure. Thus, a trip to another country would be a refreshing experience worth spending a month or two. If given the time and money to travel abroad, which country would be the choice of Yonseians, and why?

A RUMOR that the world would end in 2012 spread rapidly at the start of that year on many social network service sites. It was not until the “judgment day”, which was came and went tranquilly as ever, that the rumor was proven groundless. Nonetheless, the unsettling hearsay had an extensive effect: not only had it created an air of anxiety, but it also prompted many people to think more carefully about the value of life. This month’s Voice on Campus asked students to imagine how they would go about their final day before the end of the world. Park Joon-woo (Fresh., UIC, Underwood Div.) I would

HAIRSTYLES ARE thought to be one of the most important external factors that decide not only how one’s appearance is viewed but also the overall mood and impression that a person conveys. As a result, many people, regardless of their age and gender, put considerable amount of efforts into finding a hairstyle that suits them. This is true for university students, who are especially concerned about hairstyles that look good and draw the attention of the opposite sex. In this month’s Voice on Campus, The Yonsei Annals looked into the various hairstyles that Yonseians think are regarded as ideal b

IT SEEMS that becoming a university student means a lot for the students in Yonsei. After overcoming fierce competition to get into a prestigious university, many look forward to experiencing the “freedom” they had been eager for, during their high school years. As university students, some Yoseians travel overseas, some do volunteer work, and some apply for business internships, or other activities. In this month’s issue, The Yonsei Annals took a look into the things that Yonseians want to do during their college years and asked them the reason why they wish to be engaged in such activities.

WONDERING WHAT to do for your winter break? Surely there is nothing more pleasant and satisfying than snuggling into your warm blanket with an awesome book in your hands. Reading has always been one of those activities that are right at the top of our to-do lists but never quite done, partly because there are too many books to choose from. The Yonsei Annals has thus here prepared a list of book recommendations from fellow Yonseians. Check this out and who knows, this winter might be more inky and fun than you thought it would be!
