Hello everyone! I am a first year undergraduate physics student from Turkey! This is my 3rd major program (which i abandoned last 2 of them). I have decided to study physics in my 26th birthday :) and I was right! I enjoy every single minute i spend thinking about a problem, even if i feel my brain is going to explode when i study abstract math :) Anyway, thank you!
