I am not going to reveal my name here (as it is not a very common name), but you may call me Fairy, which is the English translation of my nickname (which could also be translated to angel, but Fairy is what I use as my alias).
Anyway, I have been lurking in the studyblr community for a while now, and though at first I was pretty intimidated by the aesthetic-ness of it all, everyone here seems to be very high-achieving and supportive of others. So I have been thinking of starting a studyblr of my own for quite a while now, and well... Here I am!
I am a high school student (not revealing my grade/age because I am a minor) in the U.S., and I am interested in:
Language Learning! I am currently relearning Japanese and beginning a bit of Chinese. I am also planning to start French some time in the near future!
Artificial Intelligence! I am currently taking a course on deep learning systems, which is fascinating. I am also a co-leader of an AI-related student-run nonprofit organization, which has been a great experience!
Reading! I have always loved a good book, as many do! Unfortunately, for some reason, I have been falling out of the habit as I have grown older, and I oftentimes cannot quite summon the energy to start a book. I really want to get back into the whimsy of reading again, so that is one of my goals this summer!
Psychology/Neuroscience! My journey into AI actually started because of my interest in psych and neuro (as opposed to CS)! You know, the whole comparing the workings of AI and ML to the human mind? Apparently that is how quite a few people I have met got into AI as well, so it is always interesting to talk about!
Linguistics! It really is just a fascinating field! I was one of those children who loved grammar in elementary and middle school (which my school went into extensively), so I suppose it is no surprise that I love linguistics as well. I guess I really grasped the amazingness of this field when I was talking to someone and this fact came up: Pre-Civil War (American), people would usually refer to the U.S. as "The United States are", but after the war it was "The United States is". It was a small change, but it basically captured the outcome of that whole war!
Astronomy! This one is probably thanks to my dad; he was always and still is very into astronomy! Well, it actually started because a lot of the pureblooded witches/wizards in Harry Potter were named after stars/constellations/galaxies/etc... (I was eight years old, okay?) But with my dad's infectious enthusiasm, maps of the sky occupying the walls of our bonus room, and a lifechanging-ly beautiful sight of the night sky from atop a mountain; it was only a matter of time, really!
Literally anything! I am a student, at the end of the day; of course I will be interested in anything! After all, why would I ever shut myself off from knowledge?
