Hello there, my name is Fernando. I'm a 21 year old college student born in Puerto Rico, raised in the US somewhere in the east coast and currently living and studying in Costa Rica. Most of the things I do right now are centered around college and my classes. I'm currently undergoing my last year of bachelors and will hopefully graduate next year. It's been a lot of work and all-nighters as they call them, sometimes not even sleeping for about 2 or 3 days straight full of work, but it's all been fun because I'm doing what I love.
Besides school, I obviously enjoy playing osu! a lot. It goes without saying CtB is my main game mode though I've never really had a clear aspiration as to what I want to accomplish in it. Converts are my main interest as, to me, they prove to be harder and more fun than most specific map sets. It's just a terrible bias against PP farming because I believe these kind of maps render pointless the star rating system by being over rated and most players seem to enjoy boasting that off. More PP ≠ proficiency at the mode.
That aside, I have a special and huge interest in learning hard rock at Sousaki, Dusk and ExGon levels but the current hardware I use to play osu! is holding me back.
Other things I'd like to share are that I'm a huge metalcore fan. I've been so since around 2006 when an uncle of mine lent my older brother a CD, which was Killswitch Engage's "Alive Or Just Breathing" album. We listened to it together and I was instantly hooked. In later years though, namely since about 4 years ago, I've been opening to more bands and more types of music. Deftones for example is currently my favorite band and another one I can't stop listening to is a Japanese Rock band called Chatmonchy. Some other genres I've been really into lately as well have been EDM, House and Instrumental. Alstroemeria Records and Amateras Records release great albums. And lastly, Rap and Hip Hop are deeply into my liking. MF Doom is single-handedly the best in the industry.
As most people around here (I think), I also love watching anime. Some of my favorite shows include Ergo Proxy and the entire Aria series. My main genres are psychological and slice of life. Romance and comedy are kind of up there but aren't as relevant. I just wish I had the time right now to watch any show really. School just doesn't let me.
I'm generally a very quite person and think about 10 times what I want say whenever I talk with anybody. I've had really bad experiences in the past where I've said things without thinking and have had awful moments in my life because of that. Let's just say I'm more of a listener than a talker.
At some point during late high school, I was set on becoming a bodybuilder. I made huge efforts into getting in shape and just try to look good in general. I was very healthy and athletic at this point in time but I had to stop when I started my 2nd year in college because the number of classes I had to take was growing and I simply had no time. I trained really hard everyday for 2 years and 5 months. I've gained some weight ever since I stopped working out but I have tried to maintain a balanced diet and basic workout routines at home. For better understanding, I'm 5 foot 11 inches tall and at the peak of my training and workout, I weighed 206 pounds. I now weight 238 pounds
I plan on going back to gym after this semester is over (just 3 weeks away) and hopefully get back in shape like before.
I'm not sure what else I'd like to say but if you made it to the end, please know that I appreciate dearly you reading everything. Hopefully it accomplished the thread's purpose of letting others take a glance at who I am.
