I always knew that I wanted to study abroad at some point in undergrad, I just didn’t know when, where, or really understand how it worked. When I began looking into studying abroad, I was immediately overwhelmed with all of the program and location options....

I’m finally back home, and all I can think about is how bittersweet it is. Of course, I missed my family greatly, and I am so excited to not have to figure out what time I can call my mom based on our 8-12-hour time zone differences. Sleeping in my own bed is a...

Café Culture The one thing that I truly did not expect of Korea was the cafes. There was a coffee shop on every corner. From Korean chains to locally owned to Starbucks, they truly have it all. Before going to Korea, I did not even like coffee, but now I crave it!...
