Finally a break...

Ohmigosh you guys have no idea how busy I've been...
Literally I haven't had a day of rest in like 3 weeks ㅠ.ㅠ
Between studying for midterms, completing assignments, practising, attempting to meet friends, and networking... it is safe to say I'm tired haha
One of the events I planned with a friend is going on tomorrow November 26th from 6:30pm-9pm, it's a nice de-stresser for everyone to attend, and we have all the food ready!
On that note... I am currently hoarding the food in my residence since I live the closest, and I must say it is hard not snacking on them... (especially the Korean snacks).
I attempted to start writing for an online magazine earlier this year where I would basically write about K-pop or Kdramas.... But what they didn't mention is that there is a lot of stuff I can't write about, and that they need to approve what I'm writing beforehand if it's about an event or something.... -_-
I knew I would quit sooner or later because my articles never seemed to gain the exposure I had first intended and I was told the reason was that I didn't interact with my audience. Truth be told, interacting with audience is something which shouldn't be done a lot in online articles as they usually go to read reviews about stuff they aren't sure about.
I was told I should've promoted my own articles more on my social media, and that for me was clarification that it wasn't going to work out. I started writing separate from my social media so that I could make a name for myself from scratch, and also introduce myself as a serious article writer. I told no one that I was writing for a magazine because if word got out then eventually some people would read it because "I" wrote it, not for the content itself.
I have amazing fans and friends who like all my instagram pictures, who watch all my youtube videos, etc. and I love them for that, but when it comes to writing I would've rather people read it because they were interested or curious in the topic I was writing about, not just because "I" wrote it.
This is a longer entry I know haha but I wanted to make up for my lack of posts and busyness lately!
I'll probably keep writing and such, but instead of posting it on the online magazine I will post here because it is something I enjoy to do, so I hope that when you read my articles you read them because they are interesting, or because you are curious.

Clip of the Day: You guys know my obsession (sorta) with Korean tv Shows? well there is this show called "Oh My Baby" 오마이베이비  on SBS and there is this one child 주안 who is the cutest thing ever!

Welp

so much for posting everyday lmao xD
Sorry bout that peeps, but I've been soo busy
I had a kpop contest show on friday, then saturday I held a halloween party
I met some super talented people at the kpop contest and I'm hopefully going to be able to visit them in the future for hangouts
We all went out for kbbq after the contest and ate soo much, but it was only $16 for endless amounts of food!
Then I got back to my res around 12:30am and I started prepping for my halloween party ><
The "official" party didn't start until 10pm but we started early because people started to show up!
What I realized while I was there tho... lol I was the only white person... Not that I mind but it seemed as if they all forgot about my ethnicity lmao I guess when you speak Korean it counts you as being part Asian (according to them)

I did not drink a lot lol I wanted to make sure everyone got back safe so I decided to be the sober one out of my suite xD
I think the most amount of people we had was about 10-12, and the funny thing is that they were all either Engineers, or Computer Science... lmao then there was me, the linguistics, east asian studies, and immigrant studies person!

lol I bonded with some of the Koreans and Chinese peeps there over korean music, and I made some new friends who definitely cannot hold alcohol very well lmao

At least I will remember what happened that night xD
Oh btw I was Anna from Frozen, and my one suitemate was Olaf from Frozen xD
