The 18th presidential inauguration, Asiana plane crash, and baseball player Ryu Hyun Jin’s achievement of 14 wins in MLB. The eventful 2013 is passing quickly and 2014 is stepping in. The year 2013 must have left you with a lot of memories, regrets, or happiness. Then what is the meaning of 2014, that you’ll soon greet, to you? Do you have any hope for the New Year? The first question of the new section Campus Talk, which is created for sharing opinions with Gachon University students, is “What is the year 2014 to you?” We interviewed many students on campus and heard what 2014 means to them.

The Gachon Herald reporters also asked themselves what 2014 means to them.

Kim DanBee (English Language & Literature ‘12): The year that I’m really looking forward to. I hope everything that I’ll be doing in 2014 goes well.
Choi HyunJin (English Language & Literature ‘12): It is a very promising year. And I hope for me to do my best as much as the expectations that I’m having.
Kim YuMi (Civil & Environment Engineering ‘13): The year filled with passion. Wish only good things happen in 2014!

  Many students are anxious rather than having hopes and expectations for the fresh start in 2014. Although the new departure might be difficult and fearful, it is important to think how to make the New Year valuable. We hope you to think of 2014 as a gift and start a new journey with joyful expectations. Making a New Year’s resolution may feel very cliché, but let’s plan one more time and start again with passion. We hope you have a year full of achievements and happiness. Happy New Year!
