Hi! I am Yoning Lin from China. Currently, I am majoring in both mathematics and engineering in Philadelphia as a first-year undergraduate. This is my first year in the United States. I am interested in liberal arts, and I enjoy all those principles of science and maths. When I was in China, I learned folk dance and tea art, and I also read some books about Confucian as a patient little girl. I am a rather person. With a younger brother in my family, I rented a house near the school when I was 12 years old for my middle school. In my spare time, I am alone mostly, and I cook some dishes and desserts from time to time or practice calligraphy and dance. I also learned to skateboard myself in high school. I just learned to ski during my first Christmas abroad.
During my year in the United States, I did not communicate much with my classmates. Because of a double major and working for sound design in the theatre department, I have some academic pressure and a part-time job to earn my living. Being alone in a foreign country sometimes made me feel insecure and helpless, especially when I walked back to my dormitory from the library at night. I am somehow popular in college, and I always make snacks to share with my schoolmates in my spare time on weekends. However, it is hard for me to get into their entertaining discussions and follow some tricks on TikTok. By contrast, I prefer to talk with professors or read in the library by myself. I applied for a job in the lab and taught myself some molecular chemistry.
I love to travel and adventure. I visited Orlando and Yellowstone during my Christmas break. While in China, I did some hikes, and not being able to drive limited my ability to explore the United States on my own. I would love to have a gentleman willing to lead me to explore these unknown and vibrant lands for me. I also wish I had a mature sir who could talk to me, taste my new dishes, comment on my new dance music, and take me to more landscapes.
During this year, some boys wanted to go together with me. But I am more looking forward to someone elder for a relationship. When I was 12, I learned about the sadomasochistic subculture from an old book on the bookshelf. When I was about five or six, I realized that I fantasized about being tied up or verbally punished for doing something wrong, which made me feel enjoyable. Later, I got an opportunity to exchange and study in Taiwan and reach some local rope masters. This experience convinced me that I didn’t need to be upset about being a sub, especially when I am primarily a self-assured, hard-working, and assertive girl. I don’t know much about this, and I’m excited to have someone to explore it with – and also explore me.
Thanks for reading this far! Hope you have a good day!
