#1 Introduction

Greetings! My name is Ivy. I'm from Taichung where the weather usually is nice.         I'm major in information management at National Taipei University of Business. In the past two years, I spent most of my time learning computer science because of my major.         I don't have a lot of interests, I usually swipe my phone in my free time.
