Hello all. It took me a while to figure out how to create a new post here. It’s nice to be here and I’m excited to read and dissect various types of literature from around the world.
My name is Maxwell Yeung. I’m an American-born Chinese. I lived in New York for my entire life. I was born somewhere in Queens, but I moved to Long Island shortly. Therefore I feel more comfortable identifying as a Long Islander. This is the first term of my sophomore year here at Baruch, I have gotten a lot more used to the city by now. I currently live in the school dormitories and I ride the 6 train to get to Baruch.
I spend most of my free time playing video games, talking to old friends, and travelling whenever possible. I’ve been to far places like Japan, Egypt, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii In the near future I hope to travel to China or something. I’m interested in studying abroad. The best things about travelling in my opinion are enjoying the cuisine, walking around taking in the scenery and atmosphere, and just relaxing. When I’m stuck in New York I’ll probably be on my laptop playing games like CS:GO or Fortnite. I’m pretty bad at those games though.
In terms of personality I’m pretty introverted and lazy. If I do start working on something though, I always make sure I finish it. So that’s nice I guess. I’m a pretty bad procrastinator so I’ll be up the night before the deadline rapidly typing up a paper. I’ve been trying to change that, but I’m honestly just too used to it. I will admit that the adrenaline from knowing a 8-page research paper due in 4 hours gets the job done albeit poorly. I plan on majoring in Accounting, but depending on how I feel I might switch to Finance or International Business. My parents suggested International Business, but having to learn a second language is pretty scary to me as ironic as that sounds. I know a little bit of Mandarin (enough to survive I believe) but I need to continue learning more of it.
That’s pretty much it as I’ve reached a neat 373 word count as of now. For whom it may concern, thanks for reading and have a good one.
