Hey, everyone! I'm Jorge from Naples, FL. If anyone is familiar with Naples, then let me specify by saying I live in East Naples
My parents came from Cuba about a year before I was born, and I speak Spanish fluently. I also absolutely love eating Cuban food for dinner every night <3 (like right now!)
Major: I'm thinking about a physics major, but because my school's physics program is entirely nonexistent, I'm not sure yet how much I like it or how good I even am at it! If not physics, then I hope to do math. I am very worried that I won't be good enough for that either, though. I guess we'll find out! I love every subject, which is why I applied to a school focused on the liberal arts as much as Princeton is.
I can't specify an inner-nerd, 'cause I'd kinda just describe myself as a nerd in general
. But I love playing trumpet in the marching, symphonic, and jazz bands at my school. I like to dabble in drums for fun, but I don't own one so I'm not proficient at it. I also like to dabble in piano, but I'm not great at that either. I like to compose bad music in Finale and Frootyloops on the computer for fun, from varying styles. I also like video games--as you might guess, especially music games. I love Rock Band.
I had a really difficult time deciding between Princeton and the University of Chicago. I always thought I'd end up at the University of Chicago, but after visiting both schools and organizing my thoughts, Princeton ever so slightly edged out Chicago. I am extremely excited for college, regardless: this is an absolutely amazing school, and never in my life would anyone in my family have suspected I'd go somewhere like this! Just this September I still thought I would only be going to a state school.
