NERF
If there's anything that anyone who knows me associates me with, its my love for the Nerf hobby. This is the main hobby that I have invested myself in. Played the same as Paintball and Airsoft but instead we're shooting foam darts. I've been a part of this hobby since 2014 and I've gotten to meet some many cool people over the years.
I wanted to play more while at Rutgers, so I started a Nerf club, Scarlet Dart Tag. With funding provided by the school I've got my senior year to host the best events for the students of Rutgers.
Pokémon
For the longest time, since Preschool, Pokemon has always been my go-to franchise. When I was young I watched the shows, collected cards, and played the games. As time has gone on I don't watch the TV show anymore, and I only just started trying to collect cards again, but I'm still up to date with the newest Pokémon games coming out. Something about Pokémon that is beautiful in the art and the world that its brought, and a whole lot of nostalgia keeps me attached.
Spending Time with Friends
Going out or staying inside with friends have been pretty therapeutic, especially in college. They're close people that I get to talk to and who I feel close with. Over the summer I spent a lot of time going over to a friend's house to workout. It was something I looked forward to each day. Because of them I'm in better shape and are closer friends.
Other Stuff...
Other than those main two, there are a ton of other franchises that I love to keep up with. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel/DC, and Power Rangers are some off the top of my head.
I don't play a lot of video games but my favorite are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Hollow Knight.
Over quarantine I started watching Anime and I've got to enjoy a lot of great shows on my own and with my friends.

Future Interests...
​
As of now I have had some recent interest in videography when I bought an action camera and have tried to do some amateur video editing for my Nerf games. I've gotten the chance to learn some basic editing skills using the free video editing software that my laptop provides, but I have also gotten the chance to learn Adobe Premiere Pro.
Due to a lot of custom Nerf blasters being made using 3D printers I have been thinking about buying a 3D printer and learning CAD. I've always liked being hands on and I want to learn how to build and design for my hobby.
