Hej läsare! Välkommen! Jag är Russel. Or should I say, Hello readers! Welcome! My name’s Russel. You can call me ‘Russ’ or ‘Sel’. 

Welcome to my digital domain, where bytes boogie and algorithms waltz, where coding is the language and innovation is the melody. As you step into this virtual sanctuary, prepare to embark on an adventure through the binary pathways of my mind, where each line of code is a brushstroke on the canvas of possibility. Allow me to be your guide through the corridors of my mind, where bugs are mere features waiting to be discovered, and debugging is an art form. Here, curiosity reigns supreme, and creativity knows no limits. Together, let's compile a symphony of ideas and execute them with precision. 

Take 1 – A Little Bit of Myself  

Ett två... Ett två tre...  

(cue: mid-tempo hi-hats)  

Not your typical young adult – I am a blend of various passions and interests, defying conventional labels and embracing the diversity of life's experiences. How would I describe myself? 

I am a First Year BSCS-SE student, deeply passionate about computer programming, philosophy, psychology, mathematics, and theoretical and applied sciences. Alongside my academic pursuits, I find solace in the company of feline companions and express myself through artistic endeavors. Golfing may seem like an unusual addition, but it's an old hobby that brings me joy and challenges me to strive for excellence. Moreover, I aspire to be a visionary leader, always seeking innovative solutions and inspiring others to reach their full potential. 

Born in '04 - My upbringing in a bustling city environment has shaped my perspective on life. The rhythm of urban living has instilled in me a sense of adaptability and curiosity about the world around me. It's within the vibrant streets and diverse communities of the city that I've discovered my passion for exploration and my thirst for knowledge. 

Undeleted – Outtakes 

Now, diving into the unknown. There are some things about me that people don't know, or maybe they just don't know much (for new peeps). 

For those who don’t know, yes, I am an only child. I am the only child of my parents. Growing up as an only child is kind of fine, I guess? I have no competition to compete with in the first place. However, I've always wondered how it feels to have a sibling. Well, I'll have to wait until I start my own family and ask one of my future children how they feel about having a sibling. 

Hey there! Just so you know, I used to be the SCT President back in senior high school. Running for that position was a total rollercoaster for me—it was my first and last time going for it! SCT, or Student Coordinating Team, was all about connecting students and the school. Oh, and on top of that, I was also the class rep at the time, so you can imagine, it was quite a balancing act! 

So, get this, I got into playing golf for fun and to be a professional golfer one day. Wasn't really feeling it at first, you know? But luckily for me, my grandpa was this total golf champ back in the day, and he kinda passed on the torch to me. Thing is, he wanted me to spend the whole summer getting hardcore into it, but I wasn't super pumped about that, so I took a break after a couple of years of training.  

Math isn’t always one of my strongest suits, especially compared to science. I was an average math student back in grade school. Hate to admit it, but my math skills were pretty mediocre back then. I guess continuous training has helped me improve my math skills, so I've been expanding them beyond what I thought possible. Right now, one of my strongest areas in math is something to do with Calculus. 

Alright, shifting gears here, I'm what you might call a classically trained musician (well, sort of, I guess?). Yep, you heard that correctly! When I hit the ripe old age of 10, my folks decided it was high time to get me enrolled in some piano classes. Managed to breeze through three out of the four courses they signed me up for. But, as luck would have it, schoolwork started hogging most of my time, so I had to put my extracurriculars on the back burner. Fast forward to now, I've been tinkering on those ivories for almost 11 years. Can you believe it? 11 YEARS!!! And yet, I still feel like there's room to up my game. Also, I am a not-so-great guitarist. Ok? I had only finished two sessions. 

DECLAS-SEL-FIED 

Declassified? Nah, it's actually DECLAS-SEL-FIED. So, it's like this wordplay, mixing 'declassified' with this nickname my college buddies came up with for me. They grabbed the last three letters of my name and bam! 'Sel' it is. Totally random, right? But that's how nicknames roll in college, outta nowhere! I selected this title for my blogs to unveil hidden truths meant for sharing, encompassing my own insights, opinions, and thought-provoking commentaries. 

I think that’s for today. I know for some; it’s tiring to read my second blog entry. Until next time reader. 

Hej då. Tack!
