Therefore, I really want to share you something about Chinese culture and that’s why I write the blog.

  Hi, I am Yiqing Zhao and you are welcome to call me Angelina! I am now in the second year of UC Davis. Although I am a sophomore, my major is still undecided. But I already know about which major to choose. I would like to choose double majors for statistics with data science and design.   Let’s talk about my hobbies! I have many hobbies like swimming, drawing and so on. But when talking about my favorite one, it definitely should be traveling. I think traveling has had a great impact on my life.
