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.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
