Some More About Me

ME ME ME
Let's see what's so good about me. How about we start at the basics?

My name is Gary Liu. I am currently a senior at UT and I am majoring in advertising. I just transferred from actuarial science, so I should be graduating a semester or two later than I planned. I changed my major after taking a few core actuarial science courses and hating them, but now I have found a major that I just simply love. Advertising incorporates more of the right side of my brain which has lain dormant in my head since the age of 12. Apparently after childhood, people begin losing their creativity as a drastic rate. Switching to advertising has helped me escape the dominant left hemisphere of my brain and has brought me one step closer to what I really want to do in life.

This year I'm living in a house with four other roommates: Mike, Austin, Sam, and Drew. They are outstanding people and I have a lot of fun with them. Our house is located near the IM fields, so we go there a few days out of the week to play our collectively favorite sport, soccer. Each fall we register a team for IM soccer and each semester we have been greatly disappointed. We have made it to the semifinals every time to lose in upsetting shoot outs that should not have turned out the way they did. Despite these unfortunate events, we still have the time of our lives just playing soccer.

My roommates and I have known each other since middle school. We all went to good ol’ Canyon Vista Middle School and Westwood High School. After 8 years of hanging out with each other we still couldn’t get enough of one another so we decided to room together. During our freshman year, I roomed with Mike in SanJac while Austin roomed with our other friend Adam, who now lives with this girlfriend. SanJac was my first college living experience. I would recommend this dormitory to people who are looking for a clean, quiet, almost hospital-like environment. I did not make many friends that year within my dorm, but this forced me to branch out which turned out to be a good thing. The next year we all moved together in Dobie along with Sam. Dobie was a blur. It was my first experimentation with heavy alcohol usage for a prolong period of time. Dobie was 28 floors of pure drunk out of control college kids. It was great, but insanely tiring. During our stay at Dobie, we reunited with Drew and ultimately decided that we would be a great person to room with. The proceeding year, we all moved into a big apartment called Sterling. Sterling was like a more refined Dobie. I met an extensive amount of people at Sterling which are now my lifelong friends. After all this ruckus and drinking, we decided to move into our house on 45^th. I am currently residing here and enjoy it more than my past living locations. I can finally get things done while still having fun every now and then.
