South Korea is known for its fashion, food, and music. But have you heard about the country's bustling cafe industry? Streets in Seoul are lined with independent coffee stores and cafes along with big name coffee shops. Experience the cafe experience for yourself through my beautiful photos.

1. Welcome to Sulbing

Welcome to Sulbing! Home of the most beautiful and aesthetic desserts I have ever seen. The lovely ambiance of the cafe should be as aesthetic as the food.

2. Bingsoo

Bingsoo is a popular dessert in Korea that has a base of shaved ice and has toppings like fruits and red beans. Basically, it's the world's fanciest ice cream but without the cream.

3. GET READY FOR THE GOOD STUFF

From a wide selection of seolbing, other sweet desserts, coffees, and smoothies, you're sure to love something at this shop.

4. It's the good stuff

I dare you to tell me this isn't the most beautiful, extravagant, out of this world, ridiculous piece of art on this planet. This chocolate fudge bingsoo is too good to be true. But it is true. And real.

5. More good stuff!

Bingsoo with red bean mochi and green tea ice cream. My heart cannot take this lavishness.

6. AND they have take out?

It's like they have the answer to end my eternal suffering.

7. Socializing

Cafes are a great place for people to meet their friends or coworkers.

8. Working and studying

Along with socializing, people often to come to cafes to study or for business.

9. MORE YUMMINESS

These muffins... speak to me.

10. Ambiance

Again, this is so... aesthetic. I can't. Beauty is art and art is beauty and art is South Korean cafes.

11. At the mall

This cafe, Dal.Komm, is located inside one of Korea's biggest shopping malls. They have infiltrated everywhere.

12. Hollys Coffee

I would usually do work here while I was studying in Korea. It's a super chill environment that plays sweet tunes at a reasonable volume. Perfect for eating or studying.

13. Starbucks

To top it off, Starbucks has really taken over the whole world. If small cafes aren't for you, big brands will always be there for you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
