Hi, I'm y/n.
I've been studying in college for about two years and I'm finally ready to attend university in Seoul. Yes, you heard me correctly.
I've always wanted to study abroad. It was a goal of mine ever since I was young.
During my junior year of high school, the university of Seoul had always captured my attention. Of course, graduating with honors, AP exam scores reaching up to 4's and 5's and having a 4.0 GPA, I got accepted. The hardest part about studying abroad was leaving my life behind. Studying in a new country, living there, finding a new job...all of this just sounded so scary.
It was something I would eventually have to get used to. I've been studying Korean for a couple of years now and while I am not necessarily a pro at it, I do try my best to improve everyday. I can understand, write, and converse in Korean just fine.

Any-who, I just think that it will be a hard change for me. I'll be leaving my family behind for a few months until I can go visit them on holiday break again. I'll be independent! I can stay up late, go partying, just have fun in general. My mom never let me do anything. But, I'll take care of myself so don't worry!

Aside from my worries and angst of leaving my life behind in my previous residence, I have a bigger issue...finding a job.
My family helped me pay for the first cost of rent of my new apartment in Seoul. I'm so thankful and appreciate for them helping me out. However, it's just for this month. While the rent is not so high, it could raise higher in the future. I have scholarship money but I cannot just spend it all. It's not like I get paid every week or month. I need to save that money for important things like food, food, and food.

But seriously, I need a job ASAP. I can work and study at the same time. I've done it before.
I used to work at a café as a barista and, at first, I was scared that it would take up my study time but I learned how to manage my time.
I took lazy naps here and there, but hey it happens when you're overloaded with homework about stuff that doesn't make sense to you (*Ahem* chemistry)

I hope I can find a job soon. It would truly help with at least with paying my rent and, if I run out of my scholarship funds, I could use my work money to make a living.

The apartment I have rented is quite small in size but I'm the only one living in it so it's reasonable. It has one bedroom and one bathroom, a small kitchen, living room, and a dining area. That's about it. But I'm excited for it. I can't believe I'm studying abroad. I hope it all turns out well!

I hope I can meet new friends as well. Since I just moved to Seoul, I don't really have anyone. I'll try to be more social and outgoing to everyone so I can make some friends. Maybe at work as well if I acquire a job!
Just wish me luck!
Seoul seems to have many open positions in jobs. I just hope I land a spot in one.
