Affiliations
When I’m not busy with work or focusing on my school assignments, I love to engage in a variety of activities. One of my favorite pastimes is playing video games. I enjoy both cozy games like Stardew Valley and competitive multiplayer games with friends. Music is another passion of mine; I listen to a wide range of genres, from upbeat pop to early 60s soul music, depending on my mood. Additionally, I am an avid basketball fan. I enjoy watching games, following teams, and analyzing players' strategies and performances. These activities help me unwind and make the most of my free time.
