If I am — after a decade of writing in student newspapers — expected to be in any position to have formulated some opinion of what newswriting should be, I unfortunately must admit that I have a far better understanding of what it should not be.

About this time of the year, one can hear some people jokingly comment that springtime has come for couples. Some others take it further to tease that the sole purpose of the Spring Festival (though cancelled this year) is to let people have fun with their significant other, while singles (more commonly referred to as “solos”) have nothing better to do than, say, finishing assignments. “Single-since-birth” (or more popularly termed as motae-solo) has almost become a derogatory term in a college community where dating is more of a luxury than not. In effect, some of those who are not in a relationship at the moment - let alone the motae-solos - naturally look up to those that are dating, whether on campus or across some distance. Even mobile apps for lovers have established a sense of prerogative that imposes some feeling of loss for singles.

Knowing the meanings of flowers may be a fun – even trivial – thing to do. Contemplating on the yearly flower blooms and turning your head upside down to make it a “once-a-year-only” phenomenon adds gratitude to the college life. Updating the playlists on your music player with music that suits the season and the ambience may be one way to give daily routines a pinch of freshness. But why stop there?

The last two letters of our school stand for science and technology, so to say that we not only meet it but also live it is a more accurate description of a typical KAISTian. Indeed, the name KAIST gives many outsiders (that my acquaintances and I have personally come across) the impression that it is densely populated with intellectually gifted people staying up late at night at their labs or offices. How many of the vast majority that we call “the public” are capable of communicating with scientists and engineers? But thinking the other way around, how much of the complex society can we precisely describe with scientific knowledge alone? How many of its demanding problems can be addressed with technological progress only? How many scientists find themselves misunderstood, disregarded, or even unnoticed?
