Rogers Feng
I am a mechanical engineering student at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. I write about a wide range of topics but mainly focus on the following.
1. Trivia
2. Sports/Exercise: I draw from my background as a certified fitness consultant and former high school swim captain. I am now putting my energy towards triathlon, which came as a natural extension of swimming, and mixed martial arts, which I tried at a local training center for a change of pace from lifting weights and have enjoyed ever since. I hope to start winning loal events sometime soon with the former and compete someday with the latter. Currently working on my striking over the summers with a local gym and grappling at school with Brazilian jiujitsu club. Football is the only sport that I write about that I have never been seriously involved with.
3. Psychology
4. Science/Technology: I draw from my background as a mechanical engineering major and former biomedical engineer to cover the physical and life sciences respectively.
5. Book/Film/TV Show Reviews
6. History: I focuse primarily on Greek, Roman, ancient East Asian, and revisionist history.
7. Travel
