Name : Hao Chen
Major: Accounting, what was I thinking, after three and a half year the only things I have learned is adding, subtracting, credit and debit.
Minor: History, that’s right history. You should be contemplating why an accounting major would choose history as their minor. I could sum this up in three words history is interesting. Many people find history boring because he or she is unwilling to sit down and read or keep awake in a history class.

Texas Hold’em
Mahjong a.k.a. MJ: For those people who don’t know what this is. This a Chinese game that involves tiles with symbols inscribed on it. An individual needs to arrange these tiles in a particular order to receive points. Money is awarded base on the amount of point an individual received. There are varies versions to this game, so getting more in detail with this game would require me staying up all night. A word of caution, don’t get involve in this game, this is more addictive than the other MJ that one might refer to.
