It is precisely because of this “in-betweenness” that I developed an ambivalent identity as well as perception. My values and.. 2014. 3. 20.
Vitamin Supplements: Anti-Oxidant or Anti-Health? (This column is written by BerkOp's newest English columnist Jaeho Paek.) Let’s say today is your grandfather’s birthday. What would you gift him? Well, not a Lego package I bet. How about a brand-new laptop? Maybe, if your wallet’s fat enough (but I highly doubt this would be the case for most college students).
