"About Me" Blog Blurb

Hey, my name is Mitchell Kim, and I’m from Rancho Palos Verdes, California. I’m a first year majoring in financial mathematics and statistics. This quarter, I’m taking Math 4A, Econ 2, Comparative Literature 30B, and of course, Writing 2. If anyone wants to study together, hit me up!

In my experiences, many people ask similar questions about me. To complete this assignment, I thought it would be interesting if maybe I could answer many of them here because both the questions and answers may describe me as a person. So here we go.

How am I a college student? Once people get to really know me, they learn that I’m pretty dumb. It’s not that I don’t excel in class and get good grades, but many of the things I say aren't that intuitive. For example, last Monday, I asked our classmate if we were going to be writing in Writing 2. In my defense, I have a very curious mind as well as a childish imagination, and because I don’t censor my questions from stupidity and I immediately say what goes through my mind without any real thought, it’s no surprise that I ask dumb questions from time to time since I’m already set up to fail.

Why do I always wear button-ups? I think everyone should show a bit of professionalism in anything he or she does. As for me, although sometimes I seem like an overgrown infant, I am also a gentleman with manners who prides himself on being polite and genuine. I have been raised in a way in which I keep an attitude of empathy and understanding, and I think that maturity is symbolized in the button-ups. Plus, in my opinion, they are comfortable and look nice.

How come I'm always listening to music? Listening to music is very integral in my life. Although it may seem boring, it’s honestly one of my favorite things to do in my free time because it’s so relaxing. The genres most common in my library are R&B, Hip-Hop, and Rap.

This concludes the short Q&A. This blog thing is rather interesting. Walking into class, I was afraid of a boring, writing course that I probably would immediately despise. However, the impression Zack gave me from the first day of class is that his Writing 2 class is the complete opposite, and I look forward to spending parts of my Mondays and Wednesdays with all of you.
