English80 The Power of Being Choiceless This article is written by our English columnist, Kyu Park. Did you ever go to a buffet and wonder why there are some dishes that no one would ever eat?

Because I am not stupid, I am stupid indeed Because I am not stupid, I am stupid indeed It was exactly eighteen hours before my midterm essay was due when I got a call from my girlfriend. Starting the sweet conversation by calling each other “ honey,” we whispered cheesy words to each other with mushy feelings in the air.
