What is the importance of talking about myself? Why should I care?
If I were to give you an answer that has been adopted by many scholars across the centuries, I would quote Michel de Montaigne:If all complain that I talk too much about myself, I complain that they never even think about their own selves.(Essays: A Selection, "On Repenting", p. 233)
Why does this page look so monotonous and boring?
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".I think the following picture in itself answers your question:

About
Hi :)
My name is Yash Shah. I am a second-year Computer Science major at University of California, San Diego.
The reason why I chose major in CS goes back to the first ever computers course that I took when I was in second grade.
Microsoft was very popular around that time. I remember the teacher taking us to the computer lab.
We were all made to sit in pairs and asked to open Microsoft Paint. Being a kid, painting on the computer screen,
using different colors, making lines, circles, curves, and showing off our paintings to fellow classmates was very amusing.
As I grew older, I learnt more and more topics in Computer Science. From MS Word to MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, Logo (my first programming language),
HTML, JavaScript, C++, and so on. My interest in computers had developed so much by the time I was in twelfth grade that I
decided to major in CS.
Part of the reason why my interest in CS started developing with MS Paint is my continued obsession with painting. I like to paint. You will probably see folders full of paintings when you come to visit me! Among the many paintings that I have made, I present a few of them and the intention behind doing them.
Paintings
Painting 1, 2 - Watercolors - These two are among my most recent of paintings
- They depict my inclination toward colors and animals
Painting 3, 4 - Nature - Nature is a wonderful inspiration for an artist
- These flowers show that there is beauty all around us and that we need to observe and appreciate them
Painting 5, 6 - Freehand - Freehand drawings have taught me that there is so much symmetry in various life forms
- It also helps better the coordination between the eye and the hand
Painting 7 - Still Life - Objects are art
- There is so much texture, color, and sophistication in our daily-use objects
- Studing them helps me look at art from a different perspective
