READING

I spend a large amount of my free time reading. I enjoy reading about astrophysics, cosmology, science fiction, mystery thriller novel and light novels. Below are a few of my all-time favorite books:

• "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes" - Stephen Hawking: 10/10 brilliant book. Did I understand every single aspect of it? Absolutely not. My brain simply doesn't have the RAM. I'd have to read it a dozen more times just to pretend I grasp all the interdisciplinary dots it connects.
• "An Introduction to Modern Astrophysics" - Bradley W. Carroll & Dale A. Ostlie: I affectionately call it 'the orange book.' A friend in the US recommended it when I wanted to dip my toes into astrophysics, and apparently, it's the ultimate bedside bible for students in the field. It is a completely brilliant book.
• "The Da Vinci Code" - Dan Brown: It's a total masterpiece of the thriller genre! Dan Brown really struck gold with the formula for that book. The way he blends art history, cryptography, and secret societies into such a high-stakes, 24-hour treasure hunt is incredibly gripping.
• "5 Centimeters per Second" - Makoto Shinkai: This story is deeply emotional and touches on aspects of life that resonated profoundly with me. As fans of the anime or manga will know, it beautifully captures the bittersweet reality of outgrowing past romances and the quiet heartbreak of trying to navigate a long-distance relationship.

MUSIC

I play guitar, oragn, and sing. I enjoy listening to a large variety of music, mostly progressive of various styles like EDM, pop, R&B. I love singing these specific genres because they are incredibly forgiving to my vocal abilities. Truthfully, my entire academic career is just a backup plan until my world tour kicks off.

GAMING

I’m an avid gamer. I prefer the absolute chaos of League of Legends (LOL), Teamfight Tactis (TFT), and League of Lengends: Wild Rift. As a Lissandra main who flexes Mid and Support, my main goals in life are to crowd-control the enemy team and desperately try to keep my ADC alive.
