Korean Cafes I’ve Enjoyed Pt. 2
And the quest to continue finding interesting cafes continues!! As I am nearing the 2 month mark of me being in Korea I feel as if I’ve been to so many cafes regularly during the week that their qualities are starting to meld together and the initial shock of having an abundance of great cafes ...
Hiking at SNU
I don’t know if I ever mentioned in my previous posts but the SNU campus is ridiculously big. It is a whole city in itself, it has a literal bus going around the campus and its own ”SNU STATION.” Today, I went hiking on campus. The starting point was the engineering building, which is a ...
Korean Convenience Stores
I should start by saying the number one thing I wish I could bring back with me from Korea is an entire convenience store. I don’t know, I never really found American convenience stores very useful in my daily life back home, but thinking about leaving behind the perks of having Korean convenience stores is ...
My Classes at SNU
So this quarter I am taking 12 credits, and I’m only taking elective classes. So I guess I will give you an overview of those classes: Feminist Aesthetics and Arts – I have come to love the teaching style of my professor for this class. The way she teaches new concepts is so energetic throughout ...
Cherry Blossom Season Has Arrived!
One of the things I remember looking forward to doing in Korea as I’d be here in the spring is to go see the cherry blossoms! As an onlooker of this season up until now, it always seemed pretty exciting, almost like an indicator of the turnover from gloomy days to lighthearted days. I was ...
Wonders of Course Registrations
This semester, I am taking 4 classes to reach Drexel’s 12 credit minimum. This is my first semester taking anything less than 19 credits, so it feels like I have some free time for a change. So, I thought I would tell you about the wonders of SNU course registrations. Course registration at SNU is ...
Korean Cafes I’ve Enjoyed Pt. 1
I can confidently say that I’ve visited more cafes in the few weeks I’ve been in Korea than in my entire life prior to studying abroad here. I think a large part of this comes from the fact that café culture is nearly nonexistent in the United States, but even then the nice cafes we ...
Seoul Fashion Week
When filling out my study abroad application, one of my essays was about Seoul street fashion. I am really interested in the difference between why most Koreans seem to prefer dressing more modestly compared to American fashion. I was hoping to attend the Seoul fashion week 2021 =to meet and socialize with Korean fashionistas. Every ...
A Day at My Exchange University
Don’t get me wrong, I was still excited to see what my school experience could have been like by going to Hanyang University’s campus in-person; I’ve imagined how my experience abroad may have been different had I been attending classes in-person and living in the dorms on campus. To be quite honest, at the end ...
A Day in the Life
I’m writing this on a Monday, which was a very long day for me. I have three classes starting from 10 am to 5 pm. One difference about keeping time in Korea is that they use military time, so I was initially confused when people have suggested meeting at “15 o’clock.” I had an advanced ...
