 My Introduction Hello. my name is Endijs Frisvalds, I am a second year student at TU Blanchardstown and I am studying creative digital media. I am 19 years old living in Clondalkin a good 2 hour bus ride away from college. In my free time I love going fishing or staying home and playing video games while my pet cat Simba sleeps in my bed doing whatever cats do. ( He sleeps a lot and I mean a lot ) My cat "Simba" I enjoy playing a variety of games that being story based or online co-cop mutliplayer. My favourite games from the last few years would be Red dead redemption 2, Genshin Impact and Rust. My future goals for my life would be firstly complete college and then get a job in an area that I enjoy. I enjoy graphic design and i enjoy taking picture but as of yet I am not set on an area yet because my choices may change and I think it's better that way. My favourite movie of all time is hard to choose because there used to be so many good ones. The top movies on my list
