Now with the semester over and summer started. Time to start making side projects and a portfolio to display the work I created.

Being a Computer Science student is if you have nothing to do. Give yourself something to do. Make a side project, start your portfolio, learn a new concept or language, or even grind leetcode

You always have to keep pushing yourself and learn new things to life

Moving soon and transferring this month. I’m super excited and having new roommates. I’m so excited for this new experience and I hope one of them is a Comp Sci major like me!

People don’t understand how mentally draining Computer Science can be. From the over barring anxiety of all the tasks you have to do. Or your mind on repeat of each step it has to take. Fighting with yourself to become better than the day you were before is what we should be aiming for. Fix today what you didn’t do yesterday.

I got accepted into my transfer school of choice! I’m hoping to get accepted to the apartment nearby. This fall is gonna be challenging of starting to become an extrovert and joining clubs. After years of hiding in my room with anxiety from the world and not making my own real friends. I’ll have my associates and be working towards my bachelors with fellow programmers!

Every software dev should be called a hope necromancer.

Why? Because my hopes die every time I solve a bug that was so easy to fix.

But I resurrect my hope whenever my work compiles without any issues.
