Hey guys and welcome back to my channel
Today we're going to do a Q&A video, and I'm so excited because it's like kind of more personal
I feel like. In my recent video, I asked you guys to send in some questions
Some things that you guys are curious about me you guys asked them really good questions
So I'm just gonna answer them. The first question is why did you decide to study in Korea?
This is a really good question as some of you guys may know I grew up in California
And I grew up in the suburbs and you just feel like you're stuck in a bubble and you feel very unchallenged
I knew in high school. I wanted to go away for college
I was considering, New York, and I just wanted to be in an environment where I knew nothing about the culture
I knew no one I felt like moving out of the country was the best option for me and since I've never visited
Korea prior I thought Korea was a really good decision. That's why I'm out here for school
Do you want to live in Korea after college and even today long term long term?
I'm guessing settling down here. This is also a really good question, and this is something I still think about. Up til last year
I really wanted to stay in Korea, but recently I've been starting to get an itch to go back to California
And I love SeouI and I love California, but I just I'm getting a little homesick. The fast paced life,
this is something that I really needed
But I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed and a little exhausted so after college I would prefer to go back to California
I still love it here, but if I had to choose
I would really love it if I can go back to California and be with my family again
Opinion of Korea's standard of beauty and plastic surgery
Korean standard of beauty is actually very insane and kinda crazy. It's very overwhelming and media is very influential
Especially because Korea's entertainment industry is so big like
kpop Korean celebrities are very influential in terms of beauty and
Now to be honest sometimes I get influenced and I look at TV and social media, and I'm like man they're so pretty I wish I could look like them
It's hard to understand, but it's understandable everywhere you go in the city like on the bus or the subway
like just every direction you look at there is always an
Advertisement, and it's crazy. It's everywhere. In terms of plastic surgery
I feel like there's something you don't like about yourself, and you can fix it
And if that's gonna make you happy and more confident then
Why not? Although I believe in plastic surgery that's going to enhance natural beauty not something crazy like
drastic. What kind of advice would you give someone traveling to Korea for the first time? I feel like Korean
tourism is so developed and so good that it's very easy for tourists to come and travel here
you should just take advantage of the food the
Food and the food well yeah, you should the food here, the shopping, the nightlife, everything here is
so good, and you can do it literally all night long. What was the toughest situation in your life
and how are were you able to overcome it? Wow this is a very good question
This is kind of a personal story, but basically in high school
I got spinal surgery for scoliosis, and I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys know
what scoliosis is because it's very common among teen girls.
But mine was particularly a severe case so I had to get surgery for it and I
Was home-schooled for half the year because of recovery and during that time was probably
the darkest time of my life
I felt like every inch of confidence inside of me had just vanished during this recovery time when I was
Being homeschooled. I was just in bed all day the way. I overcame this was that I was watching a lot of YouTube videos and
Reading a lot of style blogs and magazines just getting my mind off of the pain
It was just such a good relief
I just felt strangely connected with them. That also answers another question that I got asked that, why did you start your YouTube channel?
I feel at peace like I don't have anxiety like I do when I talk to real people
And like my friend the other day
She was watching my youtube videos, and she was saying like you look more comfortable on camera than you do in person
And I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult. Even like the past few weeks, I've gained so many internet friends.
It's just so amazing and I feel so blessed
It's all possible because of you guys!
How do you edit your videos, and how did you learn? I edit my videos on Final Cut Pro
and I just play around with the tools and
Honestly, I don't really use that many like crazy effects so it's just kind of like
learn as you go. How do you and your boyfriend keep up with long distance relationship?
FaceTime
Honestly, it's just all about FaceTime and making time for each other it kind of works out like our schedules cuz we're both busy
He's busy with school, and I'm busy with work
And by the way my internship ends this month
So I am is so excited cuz now I'll have more time make more videos, and I get to
vlog more! How tall are you? I'm five six about 168 centimeters
You know I get asked that question a lot for some reason. Do you have any plans on vlogging weekly?
Vlogs are one of my favorite videos to watch on YouTube
And I would love if I could make weekly vlogs but right now with work and everything
I don't really do anything that interesting. Now that I am ending my internship soon
I could.. I will. I will have more time to
Vlog more. Yeah, and I'm still kind of getting used to like vlogging in public
You guys saw my other videos. You can tell that I'm a little awkward, but we're still working on that
Can you talk more about your gap year? So I actually took a gap semester. I took a gap semester because I needed to
put my life back on track because
My body was at a really unhealthy state. I recently moved to Korea
I feel like my body has become so sensitive to stress like whenever I'm stressed from
School, work, or just life in general my body reacts in the worst way possible
I will start losing chunks, and chunks of hair. I lost like half my eyebrow
I lose like ten pounds in like three days and my menstrual cycle. Oh my god, my menstrual cycles, so irregular
I actually didn't even have a menstrual cycle for like eight months
I needed to do something about it
And that's why I took a gap semester to kind of just like put everything on pause and to mentally
heal myself. But during that time, I was waking up really early in the morning, starting my day off on a good note
I was going to meditation and yoga
Every morning I was juicing every day, and I was more connected to myself. If I didn't take a semester off
I would be so burnt out right now, and I would probably not be making youtube videos
I neglected my mental health and it backlashed on me big-time
Please take it step by step. And take care of yourself
Okay, another question that I got asked a lot was what contact ones
are you wearing? The ones that I was wearing in my two previous videos those were from a store called
Oh ones(?), it's here in Korea. It's in the color Russian velvet brown
I like those because it doesn't look so artificial. I, honestly, I have to go to my grandparents house right now because it's
Chinese New Year. I have to get ready and head out the house
Yeah, I am going to try to vlog this weekend since it is a five-day weekend
So stay tuned for that. Maybe. Thank you so much for watching, and I will see you guys in my next video. Byeee!
