Colin's Mini- Bio

Hey guys!

This is Colin from Beijing, China right here. I was born on Aug. 2, 1991. I am a sheep of the Chinese Animal Signs or the Chinese Zodiac, a Leo of the European Zodiac. My Chinese name is Lin, Shen; a combination of my parents' last names. This name bears their expectation of me to be able to carry on all their talents and honors; I think it is very meaningful and for sure a good one. And here comes my full English name Colin Lin, Jr. and my dad is the senior Colin.

I am really into music, especially Hip-hop and R&B. I am a rapper myself and I have a pretty fly MC name-- CJ. LOL! Yea... I thought about changing my MC name into Lil' CJ because of my shape, but it did not work out that well. Some of my friends like to play the irony and call me BIG C or Tha BIG C, personally I am all cool with those nicknames, HAHA! I formed a group with two of my high school classmates back in China called BGM. We decided to use BGM as our group title because the other two members' MC names are Bakee and MC- Jimao, and if you put C and J together you will get a G just like my profile picture. Put our initials altogether that is BGM, background music, we wish our music to be favored enough that people will actually use our songs to be the BGM of their videos, parties or whatever. We had a fantastic time writing lyrics, making loops, recording and producing songs. Along with our intensive Junior year in high school we produced two songs. What? Not very efficient? Whatever you say man... Sadly, all these ended in our senior year. I came all the way here to America for my senior year and the other two are facing the life changing College Entrance Tests. We sealed our mics up along with our memories.

So. I had my senior year of high school in West Nottingham Academy, Colora, MD. It is a incredible place. I had my first time experience of being in a basketball team, my first time experience of being a boarder there in WNA, and it is just so much that WNA gave me.

Sorry to be a little bit carried away. So besides music and sports I also enjoy watching animations (One Piece is my beloved one), and playing cyber games such as FIFA, Winning Eleven, 2K, Counter-Strike, etc. Therefore, if you share the same interests with me, please let me know.

I major in Finance here in UD, and I guess it is kind of too early to talk about career goals. At least the image of future occupation is still vague to me, a stockbroker maybe.

My dad works for Marriott international, and my mom is self-employed. They both speak English, and my mom speaks French as a second foreign language. They are both great role models to me and indeed affected me a lot.

Yea, I confess I am a bit shy to people who are not that close to me. But do not get fooled by this side of me, after you know me you will see a brand new Colin standing in front of you. And yes, I will try to be more initiative.


Peace out for now.
