Undergraduate / MIT: 'Armageddon has arrived' - What for pleasure? & What to major in? [6]
We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do for the pleasure of it. (*)(100 words or fewer)
-Armageddon has arrived. Aliens are at our doorstep with no intention of casual conversation, while everyone's cell phone ceases to function. Panic and chaos have set up camp and are ready to play. I turn the page in anticipation of the next thing to go awry because, even in the book-world, Murphy's Law applies. Reading for most is a temporary visit to fantasy land. For me, it's a prophecy to be fulfilled. Technology and ideas utilized in novels spark the invention of tools for reality. The possibilities in books unlock my endorphins.
Although you may not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program at MIT appeals to you and why? (*) (100 words or fewer)
-I am enthralled by all the engineering departments hosted at MIT, but when I read about the creation of needle-free drug injectors in the MechE Department I rolled around the carpet with joy and insisted "I want to be a part of that right now!" I abhor feeling weak every time I venture to the doctors and panic over a needle. Mechanical engineering encompasses a diverse range of topics from which I can explore my inspirations. It is the small things that make the world better for everyone.
-Both of these are within the requirements.
