pink magnolia and rose quartz for your ask game <3 i hope you’re doing well today !

kurisu !!! i AM quite well ,,, legs r sore from climbing up n down a mountain 4 several hours but the view was v v worth (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) i hope that u r taking care n having a lovely day too !!

pink magnolia— would you say that you develop crushes quickly?

yes! i think that i feel attraction v v quickly -- like da funny feeling in ur heart when u see sum1 cute yk? maybe a little heat in ur face? n obviously it grows the more time i spend around them...but lately they dont last long bc i WILL get some kind of ick. i have yet 2 meet a man i rly want 2 date on campus plaksdlfjg

(storytime : my last crush was abt a month ago on dis cute boy from my asian american psyc class bc we had sooo much in common but it all vanished two weeks l8er when he asked me if i knew what Twitch was 😭😭 like it's not even anything against him it just gave me da ICKY ick. so rip 2 that </3)

rose quartz— what’s your love language (romantic or platonic)?

i dunno how 2 rly describe it but if u tell me a story or talk abt things u like..i WILL remember it. store it in my brain like an elephant n bring it back out when we have a convo. this applies 2 bits abt life, fav foods, colors, songs, etc etc! ig it's my way of saying "i care u!" but a little less obvious hehe..hopefully it shows that this person is important 2 me + i cherish the relationship a lot ^w^

(more storytime : i had a tutor 4 SAT prep pre-covid that has dupuytren's contracture (tightening of hand tissue that eventually requires surgery) + when i met him a good bit of time l8er, over zoom, i asked him how his hand was n if his surgery went well/was still scheduled 2 happen. n this dude said, "...you know, you're the only one of my students that has asked abt my hand since we went online 4 covid. i think that rly speaks a lot 2 ur character." AND I ALMOST CRIED LMFAO BUT YEAH...IM GOOD @ THAT!!!!)

Wish-Shin You A Warm Welcome - Jiwon Shin

Hi everyone, my name is Jiwon Shin, and I’m a sophomore originally from South Korea (currently living in Irvine, CA)! I’m majoring in Cognitive Science, an interdisciplinary major that combines different fields such as Psychology, Linguistics, Computer Science, and Philosophy, and minoring in Occupational Science (pre-OT track). I’m also trying to add another minor, Musical Studies concentrating in violin. When I’m not playing the violin, I go volunteer with my service organization, Circle K International, watch Netflix, or devote my time serving as a Resident Assistant at one of the freshmen dorms on campus: Parkside International Residential College! 

I initially came to USC as a Linguistics major but after taking PSYC 100 as a GE course, I became really interested in Psychology and decided to switch my major during spring semester of Freshman year. Changing to Cognitive Science opened up so many opportunities for me to explore other fields but still pursue my interests in Linguistics. I’m currently a research assistant for two research labs, one in Marshall School of Business and the other in Rossier School of Education. I love how the interdisciplinary nature of my major allows me to be involved in other schools related to but outside of the Psychology department. 

What I really love about USC is not only its various programs offered to all students but also its convenient location in the hub of LA. Coming from a small, isolated boarding school in Western Massachusetts, I felt so liberated to finally live in a major city. When I’m not too busy with school, I love going out with my friends to Koreatown to get some delicious food that reminds me of home, and I often go to the Walt Disney Concert Hall to see some world-class violinists perform with LA Phil! I feel incredibly blessed that I’m able to connect with my culture and pursue my musical passion. I cannot imagine living and going to school somewhere else. LA is definitely my second home. 

I’m so proud and glad to be a student at USC, especially part of Dornsife! Although a lot of people don’t really know much about Cognitive Science, I think it’s one of the hidden gems at school. Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions about my major!
