  • Wii

    Some random day during 2011 my mom decided to get me a Wii Fit since I was a good child. This console was a much better fit for me.

  • DSI

    On Christmas 2010 I was given a DSI, a popular Nintendo game console that I begged for a year. I eventually did not use much of it since my mom gave me fairly boring games. All of them were “brain development” games. My other friends had entertaining games such as Animal Crossing, Legend of Zelda and many pokemon games. Specs:

    Asus C20 11.6in Chromebook
    Around the same time, I was attending junior highschool. My school occasionally gave us google chrome books to work on school projects during my middle school years (2016-2018). I remember not liking the thickness of the laptop and the poor keyboard quality. I wanted to work on my own computer but was not allowed to due to strict school rules.
