Jordann P.

hello everyone! welcome to my blog! :) my name is jordann. i am a current (as of fall 2024) junior at smith college majoring in english language & literature (creative writing emphasis) with a prospective minor in either korean language & culture or east asian studies. i've wanted to study abroad in general for a while now, but in south korea specifically for at least three (3) years. the fact that i am currently here, in south korea, right now, is insane to me! i have a lot of fun blog posts planned for this semester (you'll be seeing a lot from me :P) that i hope you stay tuned for! but before we get to the blog posts, let me tell you a little bit about me! i have some fun facts below so you can get to know me better :)

• first (and most importantly, of course), i have a cat! (she is the same cat in my profile picture :3) her name is blu! she is a dilute torbie shorthair calico and the absolute love of my life <3
• i am 21 years old
• i am from wisconsin, usa (specifically, mke!)
• i love astrology and astronomy! (my big three are gemini sun, aquarius moon, and cancer rising)
• my mbti is enfp-t and my life path number is 1! (can you tell i like taking these quizzes lol)
• i'm pretty sure my enneagram type is three (3)
• i've never been outside of the united states before (south korea is my first time out of the us!)
• i am a vegetarian! (i'll definitely be making some posts about veg-option, vegetarian, and vegan eats here in south korea, so stay tuned!)
• smith college (my current university) is not actually not my first college! i originally went to the university of wisconsin-madison before i transferred out to smith. so i have had experience at both a very large public university (50,000+ students) and very small private liberal arts college (~2,600 students)
• i took one (1) year of korean before coming here to study abroad

i hope this helped you learn a little bit about me and who i am! i also hope that my blog posts end up being fun or inspiring for you, help you decide where to eat or go here in south korea, or even ease some of your nervousness/worry about studying abroad (i know i've been there!)! if you ever want to ask me any questions about my blog posts or questions in general, please feel free to reach out to me on instagram @ jordannpoos :) please do note that my instagram is private but if you dm me i will try to get back to your dm as soon as i can!

happy reading! <3
