My friends had PCs way before I did and I were constantly ranting on about it. I was extremely jealous because it was my dream to own one and during the pandemic I spent all my time in the house doing a whole lot of nothing. I wanted to get a PC because it will give me something to do. I wrote down different reasons for my parents to buy me a PC and even did a presentation. My parents gave in and I was probably the happiest man on earth. This was the best decision I have ever made.
