YAY! I'M HERE! - My First Blog on This Site

Introductions

This is my first blog here, and first blog ever! I created this space for people to come and explore who I am and bring everyone along with my engineering journey. I am an student at the Univeristy of Toronto currently in the Engineering Science program, hoping to pursue a degree in aerospace engineering. As of now, I have finished 1 year of the program, and have not much going for me over the first month of this summer. If this sounds like you, please take a moment to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride with me!

Background and Why I'm Here

As an engineering student, we all come down to the crisis in our lives and think ... "What am I doing with my life?" Sounds familiar? - you're not alone

I've seen it firsthand myself! It is never more evident around me than hearing about mass-transfers out of the program. Over the course of the onboarding process coming to UofT, I've heard many horror stories of especially hard exams and course materials. but I thought to myself "What can be so hard about school? I basically surfed through high school no problem! Surely, with enough locking in, everything will be alright." right?

WRONG!

Throughout the school year, I either clearly did NOT lock in enough, or the system was clearly evil. Judging by how much better some of my friends were doing than I was, I think the former is more likely. However, it's never too late to start working hard and setting goals for oneself. Given that I have close to nothing to do this first month of the summer, I jam packed my own schedule with plans and goals I want to complete.

I won't reveal what I packed my schedule with yet, but in the upcoming weeks (or days, or months), results on my website will speak for themselves. This website was created to share what I have to offer for this world.

What to Expect

On my website, I will publish various updates regarding what I accomplished and, more importantly, my process towards these accomplishments. I believe in showing to the world how we can accomplish our achievements, and sharing everything in order to promote learning in other people. As well, I may share some thoughts and updates on what is going on around me and the world. I hope to share my upskilling in the engineering world with you!

And a word on scheduling: There is no planned schedule on when I release new blogs. Blogcs can come on a daily basis, a weekly basis, a monthly basis, or even after a yearly basis if I really have to! This all depends on how I feel at the moment and whether I have any updates to share. Thanks!

This website was built purely with HTML and CSS (with a little help from Google Gemini of course). It is subject to visual changes as I play around with it more learning HTML and CSS myself.

Other Remarks

As this website is built with HTML and CSS, it is still a work in progrss site. It can and always will improve. If there are any suggestions, please email me at engineering.jincheng@gmail.com. I would really love to hear about website suggestions, blog and project ideas, or anything you would want to ask about.

I really appreciate your time in reading my article, and would love to see you hop on in the future for any updates!
