Group #1
My names David Cheng and I’m from Long Island.
I haven’t experienced much in life yet but I think enough to give me an idea of who I am. I’ve met my closest friends through online games and I value games greatly for giving me a way to meet (hopefully, who knows?) lifelong friends. As a middle school kid, I lived and breathed the stuff so I naturally gravitated to PC building as they go hand in hand. I like how when I build a computer, I can feel good about the final result. From then, on my own computer has gotten replacements for every part so many times that I’ve essentially gotten multiple new computers. Nowadays, I don’t like games all that much and I’ve lost the reason to open up and beef up my computer. “Identity crisis” is too dramatic but you get the idea.
As for college, I don’t have any high expectations for the first half. For freshman and sophomore years, I’m planning to find out if the professional workforce or business is for me. I can’t stand stifling environments where I have to wear suits and act “professional” but 80 grand a year is 80 grand. All I hope for my first semester is to get used to commuting because my mood is completely sour when getting home at 10pm (happens more than I prefer).
Thank you for reading.
Hey David,
I really enjoyed reading your first blog post. I could tell from this piece, as well as your communications speech, that you’re very knowledgable about building computers. This is something I know very little about, but find interesting. I hope you find a career path that interests you and pays well. Why settle for only one?
Thanks for the valid advice! I’ll start thinking about it now!
Your blog was very interesting and I totally connect with your thoughts about the stifling environment, wearing suits, and acting professional, because I can’t stand it either. As you are still undecided about your major, you may want to consider a career path that interest you, such as something that has to do with your hobby. I rarely find anybody who has the hobby of building computers, you are the second person I know, and I think it is a very unique hobby and a skill that will be helpful in the future, regardless of what career path you eventually choose.
It’s pretty cool how you’re into tech and computers. I have some friends who are into those type of things. Hopefully, you’ll find the path that’s right for you. Also, your commute sounds bad but give it some time and maybe you’ll get used to it.
I agree 80 grand a year is pretty good, but it seems like you are more interested in computers and technology. I used to be interested in the field myself but gravitated more towards finance as I grew older. A lot of people discover who they are in college. I hope you figure it out as well. I applaud you for your commute, I have an hour commute and I hate it, so I can only imagine what you feel.
