Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog
This one’s for every student who was made to feel stupid by their teachers and peers, for every kid treated like a lost cause in education. This is a fuck you to everyone who thought I’d never achieve anything like this. Yesterday I graduated with an MSc degree with Merit in Crime Science from UCL, one of the most prestigious and most difficult universities in the world. I’d love to see teachers who kicked me out of class for asking for help, and the students who called me stupid on a daily basis, try that now. After being bullied badly through many of my years in education, it destroyed my confidence and made me believe that I was an idiot. Not only have I proved them wrong, I’ve proved to myself that I’m capable of anything I put my mind to. #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

Finally graduating tomorrow after a year and a half of finishing my degree.
(Clearing out drafts - 21/3/22)
It’s been two weeks since I graduated Cornell. Today I move away from the only home I’ve ever known to start a new adventure in Chicago, where I will be joining Teach for America and working as an elementary school teacher while obtaining my Master’s at the same time.
Undergrad was a roller coaster, but I am so thankful for the last four years. I couldn’t have done it without my parents, friends, professors, and other mentors I met along the way.
Part of my heart will always belong to Cornell and Ithaca, but for now another part will be in Chicago. This blog has always been about Cornell (hence cornelldiary), but it’s dealt with other topics through the years as well, so I may continue posting things I find interesting or helpful or beautiful. Please let me know if there’s anything particularly useful I could post about on here or anything you would want to see this blog devoted to from here on out. As always, never hesitate to reach out with your questions and stories. I love hearing from you all; thanks for your part in getting me through the last few years.

Though I am no longer a student in the strictest sense, a big part of my career as a teacher involves studying and reading.
I wanted to make some videos with the spirit of my old studyblr habits and I’ve started with this one - a 40 minute study-along in my London flat.
Please do let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas for my new study-focused YouTube channel.
I’m thinking about going back to academia at some point in the future. Does anyone have any advice about choosing an MA or PhD? I’m particularly interested in theology and art history but I don’t have a formal qualification in those areas.
The fire that concludes my graduation! What an amazing half decade it has been. Wow it always goes by so quick once its all over doesn’t it? That can be said about anything that is so well enjoyed!
Thank you to so many people who have supported me over the years, and still continues to do so!

Study me and graduate
- Finish university & graduate (completed)
- Pass IELTS test with a minimum band 6
The past two months have been so stressful for my partner and I, probably even more stressful than our final year of university. I can’t lie, we nearly broke up on more than one occasion due to all the fighting and stress. Immigrating to another country is a fucking awful process, especially for those coming from non-English speaking backgrounds.
The fact is, as of 14/08/019 we have only one week until his current student visa expires. The most important step is his IELTS test, and if he doesn’t achieve a 6 by the end of this week, we’re basically fucked. He has taken the test twice already, $350 each test, and both times he scored 5.5. He’s got one chance left, otherwise its all over and he’d have to go back to Korea. I am freaking the fuck out.
AND THEN
Last night, his third test result came in the mail. We weren’t speaking to each other (after having yet another stress-fuelled argument), but he made me open the envelope for him. I nervously glanced at the box that said “Overall score.”
OVERALL SCORE: BAND 6
HE DID IT. HE FUCKING DID IT. THIRD TIME IS THE FUCKING CHARM BABY. I fell to my knees and started crying and immediately all memories of past arguments washed away. I can’t believe it. After almost 4 and a half years, he did it. He’s finally able to apply for his Temporary Graduate Visa! We are one step closer to permanent residency!
Are you looking to make the move to Australia? Maybe you’re already here on a student visa and are wanting to learn more about becoming a permanent resident. Australia is a wonderful place to live (I’m not biased at all LOL), but the process can be a little daunting and confusing. I’ve put together a list of some of the more common visas that we have considered. I haven’t included the Working Holiday visa, as we didn’t do much research on this one. This list isn’t extensive, however I will update it as often as I come across important and beneficial information.
Student Visa - Stay in Australia for up to 5 years whilst studying an approved course.
Temporary Graduate Visa - A temporary visa that allows international students to live, study and work after you have finished your studies.
Skilled Independent Visa - This visa allows invited workers with required skills to live and work in Australia permanently. You need to working in a field that is on the required skills list.
Skilled Nominated Visa - This visa allows nominated/sponsored skilled workers stay in Australia as permanent residents.
Partner Visa (Onshore) - Allows the partner or spouse of an Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident to live in Australia. You apply for the temporary and the permanent partner visas together.
Okay now I can breath, it’s official ✌
