Seoul > America

Hey, hey, hey kiddos.. So as you can tell from my short vlog, i'm in America!!! This was my first time going to travel alone, so i'm lucky my friend helped me out so much! But anyways, so yeah i'm back. On the flight I ended up feeling really sick, but luckily the flight was only about 9 hours. When I landed too (whether it was from sleep deprivation or not) everything felt like a dream. It all felt like nothing was real and I was going to wake up soon enough in my dorm room with my roommate next to me or something.. But now, i've been here a few days! It's been weird adjusting back to life, especially since it's my first time coming back since being in Korea. With my birthday and Christmas so soon, I've basically just been unpacking and sleeping until I can get myself to probably film another video on life in Korea.. If anyone was wondering how I got back, I'll break down some steps for you.. 1. I finished packing and turned my keys into the ...

Learn Korean

Okay, so first, i'll say that Beeline is a subscription service. Meaning, you will need to pay. I know, a lot of people don't want to pay, but compared to dropping money on some books that might collect dust on your shelf for a long time because you don't understand them, or because they weren't exciting enough, Beeline is actually worth the money (or so I think, but i'll walk you through and show you what I mean). This is basically a series of video lessons that also teach some cultural lessons and all those "but why?" questions. Which is why I REALLY like it! When I learn a language, I want to know more about the culture and when to use those words or phrases, Beeline explains exactly that! (yassssssss i love learning culture) Let's hop in! So this is basically what the top looks like. You have Level 1, Hangul, and Level 2. I'll go through some of these so you know what to expect~ I don't even know w...
So I finally did it.. I went to a toy store... Before I show you the actual toys, I thought I would share some of the photos from inside the store! We went to 2 Toys-R-Us's in Seoul, at the lotte mall thingy... So here's some cool pics~ Now onto the Toys~ I will start with the Pokemon one first, since I think it's my favorite. They had a few types of Pokemon, but of course I had to get Pikachu.  So the set comes with 3 parts. -Balloon -Suitcase -Pokemon All have little suction cups, but it seems they don't stick too well to any surface :c One of the best things about this, is the compartment to store it in! It's so cute and easy to pack up if you want to take it somewhere with you. I really, really, loved this! I would want to go back for the other sets soon.  Now the doll~ This is a "Little Mimi" doll, which seems to be a very popular doll in Korea. They had some other princess ...
So let's begin!! So I saw this store by Ewha about a month or so ago, and within weeks it was already built! Their mascot is the moonmin cartoon which really drew me in.. Along with a store with a subway theme (not the food, the actual transportation). These aren't my first products with them, so I know they usually have pretty good quality items. So I really loved this blue and pink color to start! And recently added the red to my collection along with their top coat. These were my favorite because they were some of the brightest, but they also have green, grey, etc...  Ignoring how badly I seem to paint my nails, I also would like to add how much I love this top coat! So the colors go on pretty vividly and are really shiny (especially with the top coat) and really smooth. I wish I could have found a base coat, but with this top one, they can last a couple days - a week before they start chipping. I don't think it lasted much longer than a usu...

Fall

So, this blog is obviously not finished and idk if i'm going to even keep this.. but I suppose it may be good for some photos.. So basically, I walked around campus alone, in the rain, to take these photos and Videos. This brought me such a sense of happiness, one that I haven't felt in quite some time. I really love making videos and taking photos to share. Sometimes, life gets too much, especially when I'm trying to be an adult, go to college, hang out with friends, deal with angst, etc.. But being able to be alone for a while and just "be one with nature" has really helped to set me on track.. Why did I just share all that? Because I know many of you want to be where I am.. But life isn't all I show on camera, really.. It's tough.. You deal with college/life issues, adding in the extra factors of cultural/language boundaries. So even if you're not moving to Korea at 18, remember to always take time for yourself, make sure you're happy, fo...
