I like to socialize and meet new people. Being alone sucks!
I'm an incorrigible Star Wars fan who walks around with a lightsaber.

May the force be with you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my undergrad years, I went to a conference with a group of friends in Southeastern part of Turkey, and instead of following the sessions and making our presentations, we visited the region for 5 days, and told the university that we got sick and had to stay in hospital.
Never regretted using the university's funds for a short vacation with friends.
