Off the top of my head, the daily routine that I enjoy is playing badminton.

And for when I started to do it is about a year ago.

Because a friend invited me to join their badminton group, and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed it.

As for whether it’s easy to keep/ stick to 坚持做/ continue, I would say yes.

Because although my schedule can get busy with classes, projects, and studying, setting aside specific times for badminton helps me manage my time better. Plus, having friends who play with me keeps me motivated to stick to it.

On top of that, the reason why I am a big fan of/ I am addicted to/ I can’t live without this routine is because it provides a perfect escape from the academic pressures of being a computer science student.

When I play badminton, I feel excited and happy, and it helps me relax. It’s a great way to stay physically fit and also serves as a social activity where I can catch up with friends. Overall, this routine not only keeps me active but also improves my mental well-being, making it an essential part of my life.

Speaking of which, just a few days before the interview, I unfortunately contracted COVID-19. I started experiencing symptoms like fever and fatigue, which made it difficult for me to prepare for the interview and focus on the tasks at hand.

As a result, I missed the chance to participate in the peer mentor program that year.

Overall, the experience taught me the importance of resilience and adaptability in the face of unexpected challenges. I learned to prioritize my health and find alternative ways to pursue my goals, such as applying for the program again in the future once I had fully recovered.
