Making new connections, new friends, and networking is always fun. I try to be very open-minded, friendly and non-judgemental. I meet new people whom become my connections, friends, and acquaintances everyday. Whether through social media, like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, instant messenger, and wechat, or in person through events, school, work, academic societies, career affiliations, or social outings. The possibilities are endless. One thing I always keep in mind is to be non-standoffish and approachable. I think I am an easy person to talk to once the person knows me. I try to be ongoing, spontaneous, and fun.
