Currently, I’m a senior student at National Tsing Hua University who majors in both psychology and medical science. I’m interested in many things that are related to humans, so I take (too) many courses that are related to psychology and biology. And that’s why my friends usually say that they think I look like a tired sleepy panda (especially the “yururin panda”).
