​I'm Christie Peng, a junior at Northview High School.
​
I joined the Muse to explore visual art, creative writing, and graphic design. Due to the pandemic, I stopped drawing and painting for a year or two, so Lit Mag is an opportunity to re-discover my creativity and potential. After learning the ins-and-outs of Photoshop and Indesign, I aspire to create a webcomic about birds.
​*My favorite art medium is Prismacolor on black color pencil paper.*
​
Although I am a very, very indecisive person, I believe taking Lit Mag is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Also as a result of my indecisiveness, I've tried almost every speech and debate event there ever is to exist - this means finding myself doing British Parliamentary debate on Valentine's Day in Canada.

​food and fun.  

Taro milk tea with sago is the love of my life, but I've also tried drinking coffee (it has not worked out). There's fruit trees in my backyard, so I also consume an unhealthy amount of figs.

​My favorite restaurants include Jason's Deli, Moe's, Burger 21, most sushi places, and the Hmart food court. In my free time, I enjoy walking to cute cafes and studying for hours. You can often find me at the Dutch reading fiction books, Wikipedia articles, or the Economist on weekend afternoons. 

• ​I've been playing the piano since I was 5; my favorite composers are Chopin and Lizst. I listen to classical music while studying because calculus derives-me crazy!! (although I love the math department ❤️)​
• I do speech and debate - extemp & congress are my main events! 
• I can speak three languages (fluent in Chinese - self learned through watching C-Dramas) and I'll be learning Turkish in September!​​

If you add a "uin" to my last name, it's penguin! However, my favorite animal is a duck - I have about 40 rubber ducks at home and 7 duck plushies.
