Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to go into Architecture like my father so I can work with people mostly to make homes that are livable and nice to live in. I accept that I won’t only be able to do that but my main goal is to make buildings that aren’t boring and be able to express my artisticness and make people happy.

Graduate school interests

I hope to meet a lot of people and make new friends while pursuing my passions. I want to keep up with my studies while living the college dream of partying and doing my art on the side, maybe turn it into a side hustle.

Outside the classroom

In my free time (which there is very little of as of lately) I like to do quite a few hobbies to keep my mind busy. I like to watch shows and movies, but mostly shows, such as “Avatar the Last Airbender” and “Delicious in Dungeon.” I enjoy cooking, I would like to do it more often but I have a habit of choosing difficult recipes that will challenge me. They are always worth it though. My main three hobbies though, are gaming, reading, and art. I enjoy video games as a way to connect with people and escape from reality for a bit, immersing myself into a fiction like with reading. But the difference with reading and gaming is that in a game I can influence the story, which really compels me, though I love a good pre-written story as much or more than the next person. I use all this inspiration I get from games, books, and shows to create my art. I draw digitally for the most part and make characters from shows and of my own design, and have recently started delving into painting, making things from my favorite games.
