Betty here :D

I’m about to graduate from high school and will be attending the University of Maryland, class of 2029. I love physics and engineering. My family is ethnically Chinese, but we’re technically Australians since my parents moved to Sydney for University when they were young. I love traveling, volunteering, and meeting new people. Although my mom’s a bit hesitant about me traveling solo, I’m eager to explore the world!

People would tell me that I'm very extraverted. But I'm not really good at trusting people and opening up to people. I know I have a lot of friends, but sometimes I feel like I don't have any rlly close ones, especially more and more things are going online nowadays. But I'm super optimistic and I would love to meet new people and make more friends :D I love all forms of adventure!

I plan to travel to Europe during the summer. Alone? I hope my parents would let me. I think I should be able to travel alone since I just turned 18. I hope I have the courage to. I'm very brave!
I wanna go to these place, but I know prob I will only be able to go to 2 or 3 max this summer
Istanbul, Athens, Rome, Berlin, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Warsaw

I am the type of people who would get bored of one place if they stay in that place for too long.

I have a twin sister
Got a buzz cut in 2023 and I loved it
Used to rlly wanna be a boy when I was little
I love Mexican food and romantic Turkish TV series
I LOVE animals, especially dogs
I think I'm bisexual?
