Skating taught me perseverance in a way nothing else has — you fall, you get up, you try again until it clicks. I love the community around it too. Met a lot of good people just rolling around campus and hitting local parks.

Favorites: Gary's Song, i Giorni, River Flows in You. I have a basic grasp of music theory but mostly I just play what sounds good to me. It's one of the best ways I've found to decompress.

Multiplayer: Minecraft Bedwars, It Takes Two, Overcooked. Single-player: Pikmin, Portal 2, Super Mario Galaxy, Shovel Knight, Cuphead, Doom. Speedrunning has been a big part of gaming for me as well, as I've earned respected times in Titanfall 2 and Pikmin 1. Gaming is also part of how I got into programming, as my first programming project was a GameMaker Sudio game back in high-school.

Favorites: Perks of Being a Wallflower, Arc of a Scythe, Atomic Habits, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. Reading has done more for my attention span than anything else. I think learning that our brain is much less plastic after 25 has led me to read many of the memoirs and self help books.
