Spring semester has come and gone. It's time for most of us to pack our bags and go back home. So, I asked 28 Konkuk University exchange students: "What will you miss most about Seoul?" No one said noraebang.

Aloha wau ia Hawai'i: My top 5 O'ahu experiences
by Matt Dela Peña
One of the perks of going to university is that the students you attend it with tend to hail from different parts of the world. In the case of my school, a lot of these folks come from the state of Hawaii. Before I met my college friends, the extent of my knowledge of the 50th state was just that—it was the 50th state (and I guess Lilo & Stitch).

Oly and the Emerald City pt. 2
by Matt Dela Peña
We spent our third and final day together as a group in Olympia. In the morning, we hiked around a nearby forest which had a muddy trail that led to a rocky beach perched on the coast of Puget Sound. I can't remember the name of the park but it was nice.

Oly and the Emerald City pt. 1
by Matt Dela Peña
For this year's spring break, the gang had originally planned to go to Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho, but the idea ultimately failed when we found out that the park wasn't even going to be open during that week. As a result, we each ended up making separate plans. However, most of us did manage to agree upon a group trip to Washington, and spend the first weekend of spring break at Josie's house in good ol' rural Olympia.

When I root, I root for the Timbers!
by Matt Dela Peña
The world gives us a ton of crap for being the only country in the world that doesn't embrace soccer. However, it's pretty likely that these, for the lack of a better word, arrogant European soccer fans haven't been to Portland, Oregon. Well, Portland is home to the MLS team Portland Timbers, whose fan base, the so-called Timbers Army, can rival that of any team in the Champions League.

Not just on The Strip
by Matt Dela Peña
Most people go to Las Vegas for The Strip. Facts unchecked, it is probably where 100% of the city's tourism revenue comes from. As an Oregon hipster, I wanted my Sin City experience to be less mainstream, so I sought after a local who knew more things to do in the city than just hop around the hotels that surround Las Vegas Boulevard.

Spontaneous trip to Vancouver
by Matt Dela Peña
On Monday night during the week of Thanksgiving break, my friends and I decided to celebrate the end of three months worth of torturous lectures and anatomy lab sessions with [Insert celebratory beverage here]. I was particularly keen on becoming carefree that night after having just finished two grueling hours of poking around a cat's reproductive system.
