  • April 5th, 2024: University Life in Seoul, South Korea Vlog Spring Semester, Cherry Blossoms, Soju at Han River
    Wowww it's been 7 months since my last video upload and 8 months since this was recorded!? if you follow me on Threads or Instagram then you know so much life has happened since then -- IN THE BEST WAY!! I originally felt awkward about releasing these next few videos since I filmed them so long ago. But I was reminded that this experience carries value no matter when people actually see it.
    If you've been following me for a while, then you know I'm pretty much an open book when it comes to sharing my experiences. In this video you'll see me having some moments of frustrations with my (lack of) Korean language abilities at the time... which is crazy that now that it's been a whole 8 months later I can actually recognize how extremelyyyyy far my language abilities have progressed!! It's wild haha.
    Watching this footage as I was editing it now really made me want to go back and hug my younger self from 8 months ago. Give him a rub on the back and just let him know that, "Hey, in 8 months from now you will be at a Korean language proficiency level 5 (of 6 total levels). You will be fluently speaking Korean with all of society here -- without even needing a translator app. This school that you feel as though you're struggling to keep pace with, will in just 3 months time ask YOU to host the Dongguk University Summer International Student Festival in Seoul, South Korea! And you will be on stage, in front of everyone, speaking fully in Korean, and doing an incredible job. So don't be too hard on yourself. Breathe. Continue working hard but relax into the experience knowing that it will all be more than alright. And also -- get ready because at this current moment you have nooooo idea the AMAZING and GREAT things you're about to accomplish even just later this very month!!! I love you. You're awesome. Love, from the future you of 8 months into the future."

    I was going to ask how you felt about your language skills now vs. then, but you answered it in the video caption! Thanks for sharing this adventure, from someone who’s probably too old now to go on her own

      @therockycollins  Месяц назад +1

      ahhh yea 😅 I didn't even expect to pour my heart out like that within the video caption haha but I just wanted to really express myself for you guys. it's so incredible to witness our own journeys sometimes. watching this video after all these months felt like i was watching someone else tbh -- like the past me was a younger brother or something haha. I'm glad to have you along for this adventure with meeeeee ✨ and listennnn I'm just getting started at my age and there are people older than me who just arrived this semester to start for themselves.
