Teehee Haha
• My very first year at MIT, I went to the Stata Winterfest, and started vibing to the music, to which a random older man started vibing with me. After he left, I turned to my friends and said, "Wow! That old guy was so nice!" to which they both responded, "That old guy is the President of MIT".
• For three halloweens in a row, I went as bald characters (twice as a grumpy old professor and once as the Lorax--though you can argue that the Lorax is actually covered in orange hair).
• Like a crow, I normally wear all black, but like collecting shiny, vibrant, and colorful things.
• I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until I was an adult. Definitely helped contextualize the extremely energetic personality my friends keep telling me I have, intense hyperfocus on new hobbies and interests, and "act first think sometimes" behavior. This website was actually made during one of those ADHD hyperfocus periods, and honestly so was a majority of my research XD
• I made the background of this website using digital art, where I selected brushstrokes and light painting to emulate an outerspace theme.
