About Me


I suppose if I really wanted to let a person know about me I could spout some meaningless statistics. Like I am a 6’1 Caucasian male born and raised in Texas. I graduated number 6 in my high school class. I attend Texas A&M and am currently in my sophomore year.  Almost a junior by hours, I continue on my plan to obtain a degree in Finance from the Mays Business School. But the statistics are a mere shell of who I really am.
My name is Nate Mital and I am extremely blessed to be alive and attending Texas A&M. When I am not at school, I live with my parents in Plano, a Dallas suburb. I absolutely love my little sister and wish I didn’t have to go to school so far away from her. She is a senior in high school and recently committed to Southern Miss to play basketball.  That made me so proud and I am excited that Southern Miss plays the University of Houston every year so I can see her play. My parents are hard working people who are very active in my life. My dad graduated from Louisiana State University with a double major and currently works for the cellphone division of Samsung. My creative mom, a Texas Tech graduate, is starting her first year as a school teacher in the Frisco, Texas school district. Now that I am in college I love spending time with them and wish that I had spent more time with them when I was younger. But they are very enjoyable to talk with when I get the chance!
I guess since this is a blog about me I should actually talk about me. Well, my name is Nate. I enjoy listening to good music and working out. I recently have gotten into folk music and hardcore music at the same time. I know. It’s strange. But by far my favorite genre of music is Christian rap. My favorite artist, Lecrae, is coming out with his fourth album on the 28th of this month. I am pretty sure I am a fan of Christian rap because I got tired of the meaningless lyrics of mainstream artists. They all sound alike. For the most part it’s the same message with different beats. In the same vein of entertainment, I do not enjoy movies that much. Now there are some exceptions to this statement. But most Hollywood movies are poorly filmed, acted, and have shallow stories, in my opinion. However, every now and then a movie like Inception comes out and gives me hope for the industry.
In regards to my friends, I feel that I have some great friends here and when I can hang with them I look forward to it. I am a introvert so I can spend much time reading books or spending time alone which isn’t bad but I have to balance that with social time. I was in a small Christian fraternity last semester but decided about midway through pledgeship that I was definitely not a frat boy. So this semester I will be branching out in different directions in regards to organizations.
I also have an inner nerd that doesn’t come out to play very much. Nonetheless, I enjoy playing video games and reading books. I recently read an 800 page book about 19th century English magic. Which automatically qualifies me as a nerd in front of my jock friends. They laugh at me because I like to read but it hasn’t stopped me from reading for 16 years so I think I will be good the rest of my life. I used to read many books about history and classic books such as the Count of Montechristo. Now, I read different stuff but I enjoy books about life and people’s experiences. It is hard to say what my favorite book ever is but I have read the Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia too many times to count. Seriously its probably more than ten times for the CoN.
I hope after reading this you feel like you can understand and relate to me a little better!
