Hello everybody!

I'm moving to South Korea in two days

and I thought I'll share with you how

I applied, how I got my visa and what I'm gonna do in terms of

preparation I guess. So if you're interested stay with me and keep watching!

I'm gonna go for a semester abroad and this time I'm gonna go to South Korea!

My flight is in less than 48 hours and I did not really get to do

anything in terms of packing or learning the language, any other preparations

I'm gonna pack my suitcase tomorrow and do some last-minute laundry and stuff like that

but today

tonight it's like 6:00 pm no it's like 7:00 pm

I wanted to clean out my closet and do some research on places I want to go on my

first day in Seoul

Applying for the University in Korea was not that big a mission because it is a

sister University of my University here in Berlin that means I only had to fill

in an application form and a learning agreement and the deadline was mid-april

so only a couple of months before you go abroad

Filling in the learning agreement

was a bit more time-consuming though because I had to decide at that time what classes I want to take

The English course catalog for the fall semester wasn't out yet

So I was told to look at the catalog from last year because it should be fairly similar

In order for the grades that I get for the classes in Korea to be accredited

I needed to pick classes that have content similar to the ones I would do here at my University

This means after I found some courses that I was interested in

I had to present the course list to the head of the faculty and she needed to be okay with that list

I had to do some adjustments but in the end I was quite satisfied with what I got

I then also applied for scholarship and financial aid which meant filling in more forms,

writing motivational letters, handing in different certificates

And I also got a second job to save some money so that kept me quite busy

But I got everything that I applied for so I'd say it was worth it

If you don't do all of that stuff

applying merely for the semester abroad is quite simple and quickly done

After applying at my University here and they gave their okay to the learning agreement and all that

I had to apply directly for the University in Korea

For that in addition to the learning agreement you also need a passport photo,

a copy of your passport, some forms that are really easy to fill in

and an academic transcript in English

The deadline for that was mid May and I got my acceptance notification in mid-june

in addition to a certificate which I needed

to apply for my visa

Okay so the guy who's in charge for the visa applications isn't there today

Because they have some sort of event but I handed in all my application forms anyway and all my paperwork

and I hope that everything is okay

He asked me if I could come back tomorrow but I have exams so

He told me it's gonna be around a week until it's done so that's pretty quick

I have to say that I was surprised by the by the embassy itself

The section was pretty small and compared to the Japanese embassy there is not much security

Like the Japanese embassy

there is like a passport control at the entrance

you have to like empty your pockets like basically at the airport

They scan your bag and all that and there there was just a doorbell and then you go in and

then you're there and then he gave me a number and yeah

I'm glad that it's done

I hope it will work out

I applied

Long story short I'm leaving in two days, yesterday was my last day at work

and now I'm ready to clean out my closet because I thought I'd do that before I start packing tomorrow

so let's get to it

So I donated most of the clothes that I thought I would not wear anymore or would not want to take to Korea

and that for me was an indicator that those might not be my favorite clothes

or my favorite items and why hang on to them if you're not gonna wear them?

Obviously I cannot pack that much, I have a limitation so

I'm not gonna get rid of everything that I'm not gonna take but there are just some

items I thought ok, I'm not gonna wear that and then there's others where it's kind

of hard to decide but those ones that I knew I'm definitely not gonna take

I just thought I'd donate

It was also a really good preparation for packing

because I already had kind of an idea of what is in my closet that I want to take

and that will just speed up the process of packing

So I packed everything up that I sorted out and then donated it

So now I thought I'm gonna do some research regarding SIM cards and shops I

want to visit when I'm in Seoul before meeting my friend for dinner there somewhere

I'm staying at a hostel in Myeongdong, maybe I can check out how to get there from the airport

Although I think I got a confirmation email

It had a description of how to get there from the airport

Myeongdong-Stay

There are two ways from Incheon Airport to here by bus blah blah blah Myeongdong-station or train, subway

I found different kinds of SIM cards especially for foreigners

from 30 days to like 90 days but I'm not sure if these are the best options so

I'm probably going to wait with that until I'm there

There's some interesting data plans from different companies but I'm not sure if

I can get them before I have my alien registration card so I'm gonna find that out in Korea

Thank you so much for watching!

I hope to see you again in my next video which is going to be my trip to Seoul

Why do we leave University students to their fate? - Duration: 6:24.

Hello, welcome at this new vlog of Belicons.

Nice that you are watching.

This week my blog and vlog are about students at Universities.

In my blog I was actually surprised about a news report in which they showed that we

can better take notes by hand than by means of a laptop because when we write them down

on paper we will remember them better.

That sounded strange to me, but research seemed to be clear about this.

So next time that I'm taking a course I'll consider taking a pen and a paper with me.

However, after writing my blog I kept thinking about the remark of professor Jeroen Janssen

who said that he didn't want to ban laptops from his classroom for his students are all

adults and thus they should just make their own choices.

Well, that makes sense.

This news report was about University students, so they belong to the people we regard as

the smartest of our societies and they are mostly already about 18 years old when they

first go to a University.

So one could think that they should be able to make responsible choices.

And that this is the way that many people are thinking is not only visible in remarks

as the one of professor Janssen, but also in that students at Universities don't get

as much supervision as younger people do or as people do at a lower level.

In each country the educational system is a bit different, but in The Netherlands college

at a lower level than a University is being called mbo or hbo.

Teachers at those levels often pay attention to whether their students are in class or not.

And if their students are skipping class too often, then at some schools that is reason

enough to tell them to follow that class again next year.

But at Universities they often pay no attention to who is present and who isn't.

These students have the responsibility to be on time and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

in class each day on their own.

But one can wonder whether it is justified to ask this much of these youngsters.

They might be smart, but they are also still often between 18 and 25 years of age.

And this doesn't mean that I'm thinking negatively about youngsters.

On the contrary, I wonder whether adults, like employees of a University, shouldn't

take more responsibility for their students than they are often doing right now.

In order to make up our minds about this it is interesting to take a look at the development of our brains.

What can we really expect of people between the age of 18 and 25 years?

It might be nice to know that our brains continue developing.

Some parts of our brains do decline during our lives and for that reason it becomes harder

and harder to memorize things.

But we can slow down this process of decline by making sure that other parts keep on developing.

For that reason we sometimes even see people who are over 100 years old learning how a computer works.

If they like to do that, it is possible.

So the proverb 'You are never too old to learn' is a truism.

Time and again when you learn something new, your brain develops.

And physically exercise actually also helps to stimulate your brain to keep developing.

Nevertheless, there is a moment at which we can say that our brains are becoming mature

and that happens somewhere between the age of 22 and 25.

So at that age our brains are fully developed and thus we can make responsible choices on our own.

So youngsters actually miss certain connections in their brains which help them to make good choices.

And for that reason we see that adolescents act based on their emotions, they are focused

on the present and above all, they want to discover new things and are willing to take risks.

A child is fully focused on itself but adolescents start to see that they aren't just a person,

but a person in a society and they need to find out how to live in that society.

So they join a group, they start to experiment with all kinds of things and they think about

what feels good right now and not so much about what they should do now in order to

be able to get a degree in a few years.

So with that in mind, let's take another look at University students.

They are mostly about 18 or 19 years old when they first go to a University.

So their brains are further developed than that of, for example, an adolescent of about

14 years old, but they aren't fully mature yet.

And especially new students come in a new environment, that of campus life, and they

need to find out again how to live in that environment.

And at that moment, they still tend to act based on their emotions and to think in the present.

For that reason we regularly hear that new students agree to terrible initiations that

sometimes also have terrible consequences.

If one would ask the same of someone who is about 35 years old, then that person would

probably say: 'do it yourself'.

But for an adolescent it is much harder to say 'no'.

At the same time we do expect of these people that they understand the importance of being

on time and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in class in order to listen to the professor.

And we also expect them to be able to make good plans about doing their homework so that

they can get their degree in time.

So even though their brains are almost mature and even though they are smart, it's still

good when people sometimes tell them: 'you are not allowed to do this'

or: 'this should be finished by then'.

Not in order to punish them, but just because they need that.

Or in other words: if you really love these youngsters, you sometimes need to say 'no'.

These are my ideas.

Let me know what you think, on Belicons or on YouTube.

And don't forget to mention your arguments of course.

I'm really curious and I will see you next week.

Bye!
