Junkbook Shop

In light of my immanent move to South Korea, I am opening an (unofficial) shop for my craft! My hobby is called junkbooking, and it's similar to scrapbooking except each page is based off of a color or a concept. I have pages based on color, as well as some based on different Stray Kids songs or the boys themselves!

If you don't see something you like but would like something like this, feel free to message me and we can work on a commission. When I move to Korea, I won't have my materials so commissions are open until August 18th, 2024. I only have stickers for Stray Kids, so I will be unable to accept K-pop commissions for other groups.

The quantity of each page is exactly one, as each one is unique! To peruse the shop This Link will take you to Google photos where you can see all of the pages up for grabs and the prices attached! Every craft is under $8!

To place an order please fill out this form!

Thank you and happy browsing!

I don't know many people from this blog but I am bursting from the seams to scream my news to the world, so here goes.

I got accepted to Yonsei University's graduate program for a MA in Korean Studies and I have to be there by the first week of September!!!!!!

I'm gonna be a nervous wreck as I prepare for this but I'm in the process of writing part three to Rose Garden, so I'll try to keep that up!

Tips to entering into an Abroad Program

Currently I am staying in an apartment in Seoul for my 2 week quarantine. While I’m waiting to be released, I thought I would share some tips I found along the way that helped me get into my study abroad program :)

1. Research all your options

A year ago, I dreamed for the opportunity to go Korea. I had my plan set in mind that I was going to go to this specific school in Songdo (about 45 mins outside Seoul). But I started to realize the cons of the program. They did not offer enough courses in my major. Which oddly enough is Korean! That’s right, a Korean campus barely offered Korean languages classes. Plus, the school was just too far from Seoul for my liking. At this point the only thing stopping me from backing out was fear.  

I totally understand the feeling of having your heart set on a specific place, school, class and outright telling yourself there is no other option! I want this and I’ve already decided! That’s great, but from my experience even if you have already found an aboard program to apply for, double check all your options. First, check what your university offers. Find whose in charge of each program and email and set up a meeting over the phone or zoom with them to get an idea what they’re offering. Make a list of questions you want answered as well. Because who knows, that meeting may change your entire path! That’s what happened to me! I met with the director of the program for Yonsei University at my college and he convinced me I needed to go there instead.

2. Check what classes the school offers

https://portal.yonsei.ac.kr/main/indexe.jsp

This is so so important when making your decision. I’ve heard from other students that have attended Yonsei that didn’t bother to check if they had any major classes for them! I understand the want to study abroad, but choose a school that will fit your academic needs.

Now I can only speak for the Yonsei exchange program so I don’t know how its done anywhere else. To check what classes Yonsei University offers to exchange students (classes in English) visit the link for the Yonsei course Portal. From there, click the box that says Course Catalog and syllabus. There you can enter either course codes or course names. I recommend typing in a generic name like history and see what comes up. IMPORTANT: To know if a class is welcome for exchange students look at the far right column labeled EXCHANGE. It will either have an X or O telling you if you are eligible.

3. Stay on top of everything!

Abroad programs require tons of paperwork. It is a MUST that you make a check list of everything that you need to get done. Some documents you will need will come from your school and the aboard program. If you are missing anything or you are waiting on someone to get your required documents such official transcripts or papers needed for visa, Send. an. email. If you’re not comfortable at sending email now, you will be when this experience is over. Never expect your school or advisor to keep track of anything for you. You must know the ETA of the whole process. I repeat, do not wait around for someone to email you about it. Get it done. 

4. Find communities entering the same program.

One of the most important things I’ve learned from this experience is don’t do it alone. Look for Facebook, Discord, or in my case Kakao groups that are in the same boat as you! The best way to describe an exchange group chat is if you put all your brains together, you form one person that actually knows whats going on! It’s a great place to ask questions and make some friends before you get there as well! Studying abroad can be scary, so try to find support.

5. Nothing is ever simple

For anyone considering studying abroad, just remember that it is a stressful process. If something is done quickly, it usually means there’s three more obstacles to cross before actually completing it. Just pay attention to deadlines and check in with the people in charge if things get confusing. I believe everyone should study abroad. So, if you have the opportunity, don’t be afraid to take it. :)

finally got to take some celebratory graduation pictures 😢 as some of y’all know, I finally graduated from yonsei university in February of this year after having to spend my last whole year studying fully nocturnally on zoom due to the time difference and covid! it’s so surreal to come back to the campus knowing I’m now an alumni and I feel so proud of all the work I put in, not just in the last year but during all four of them. Not having a graduation was extremely rough but being able to formally say my own goodbyes to the campus I know so well was melancholy and gave me the closure I needed. Thank you for all the good memories yonsei 🙏🏻❤️ on to the next chapter!
