Adventure Time follows the brothers, Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, who live in the Land of Ooo. Finn and Jake fill their days with wild adventures, hanging out with their friends, and even challenging the cosmic rules of their universe. They do a lot but they especially say a lot. Every single episode elicits laughs- but why? This course explores Adventure Time’s humor through a critical lens of sociolinguistics.

With 26 million people living in South Korea's capital Seoul, it acts as not only the capital city but also the cultural, financial, and industrial center of South Korea. It is a vibrant city with so many offerings such cheap and delicious streets, beautiful (and mostly free!) museums and so many different festivals to enjoy year-round. And during the previous academic year, Seoul was my home. As a financially independent, first-generation Latinx college student, I worked hard so I could spend a year abroad in South Korea’s capital city of Seoul. During my time abroad, I went on trips around the peninsula, I ate out for each of my meals everyday, I went to so many concerts (some for free!), and I simply just had a really great time studying abroad in Korea. So are you interested in studying abroad during college? Maybe you want to go to South Korea too, or maybe another country like Chile, Japan, or Australia. Let’s talk about it! In this course I give an overview about what to do in order to prepare to study abroad as well as give insight into my own personal experiences living abroad.
