I like to explore LinkedIn, where I follow many computer-science-related profiles of various categories including colleges, software engineers, big tech companies, and computer science-related programs. I also occasionally enjoy surfing social media websites including Facebook and Instagram where I follow many profiles and pages that update information regarding my field. I have joined various computer science education groups on Facebook where I enjoy interacting with different people. I enjoy reading articles in magazines such as Reader’s Digest, WIRED, Elle, Time, and Us Weekly. I occasionally read articles published in the Journal of Computer Science and browse Google Scholar, Elsevier, and Springer to skim through publications. I have visited the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum where I got to see Woman in Gray and Religion Enthroned which are two of my favorite art pieces.
