Isabel Kim | Who you know
I have no idea what I'm doing over the summer. Everywhere I've interviewed for, ranging from animation studios to hedge funds, have either politely rejected me or not yet contacted me again. 03/22/17 10:04pm
Isabel Kim | Procrastination as a coping mechanism
It’s been more than two weeks since my last column. I have had ample time to think about a topic, to write a rough draft, to set aside a few hours to bang out seven hundred words or so. 02/22/17 11:29pm
Isabel Kim | So when are you getting married?
I went back to Korea over winter break, because that is what you do when you’re the daughter of Asian parents: You fly back to your country of ethnic origin so that all your relatives can exclaim to your parents “how much taller she is!” and “She looks just like you!” except in Korean, because you are, as mentioned earlier, in Korea. 02/16/17 11:39pm
Group Think | Was Yale correct to change Calhoun College name?
GROUP THINK is the DP’s round table section, where we throw a question at the columnists and see what answers stick. 02/08/17 10:20pm
Isabel Kim | This is not a column about Trump
It’s only my third column of the semester, and I am already wracking my brains to think of something to write about. 02/03/17 5:52pm
Group Think | Discussing Cory Booker as commencement speaker

Isabel Kim | Going ghost
Today’s column is a love letter to avoidance. Today, we are here to talk about “ghosting.” To quote Google, ghosting is “the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication.” I would like to note that this definition refers not just to romantic relationships, but all personal relationships, and that the definition could lend itself to mutual detachment. 01/23/17 12:32am

Isabel Kim | Perspective
The shirt read “THE PUSSY GRABS BACK,” accompanied by a drawing of a kitten attacking Donald Trump’s face. 07/28/16 11:22am
Isabel Kim | "You're pretty white"
Calling someone “pretty white” isn’t a measure of race, but of how much of your ethnic culture and pop culture you do not identify with, and it’s a ridiculous conflation. 07/13/16 11:19pm
Isabel Kim | Off the record
The interesting thing about the press is although we expend an enormous amount of time and energy investigating everyone else’s business, the actual mechanisms of the press are often opaque. 06/16/16 7:28am
Isabel Kim | Aftermath
The media, at its best, is a vehicle for information. At its worst, it reflects the ugliest of our prejudices back at us, and I’m concerned over how the latter disguises itself as the former. 06/01/16 11:02pm
Isabel Kim | In one ear and out the other
Bemoaning the fact that “you can’t trust the news” is immature, rooted in the expectation that everyone universally is trying to be accurate — not trying to sell you something. Interaction with media is a two way street, and there is no excuse for pinning all the blame completely on newspapers. 12/01/15 11:47pm
On gender identity at Penn: a student speaks out
Male and female are terms that everyone knows, but genderqueer is a term that might turn a few heads. 11/18/15 10:18pm
