    |    After a 2+ gap year period and making things out of my parents garage,     
    |    I was kinda sore from creating my own path. So I finally gave into         
    |    the idea of attending college. Plus, I had finally enough saved up         
    |    to attend one, so I thought why the hell miss out on the                   
    |    “college experience”. [READ MORE @ https://blog.itskay.co/college/]

    |    So here I am, here to seek a “great perhaps”. I still continue to work     
    |    as usual (bc I don’t have a rich family, and someone gotta pay the bills)  
    |    (and bc I’ve discovered, I just can’t NOT WORK, I have to be doing         
    |    something, building something, or I go nuts)                               
    |
