I woke up today, extremely late. I don’t feel compelled to do anything, at least that’s my usual mindset, but it’s important to try and change that mindset around, stop excusing yourself, and get ahead with the rest of the day that you do have. Don’t let a small setback ruin your entire momentum; it’s…

Most will say to push yourself beyond your wildest dreams, believe in yourself more than you could ever imagine. It’s great to have that kind of mindset, it truthfully does propel you forward and make you want to do more than you can. That’s where the issue lies, though; sometimes, you can’t do it. It’s…

It burdens me greatly to even have to make a post like this. I had higher expectations for myself, but for some reason, the stress of having to maintain a page every day and let my emotions out is somehow too much for me. I really did want to make this a thing, posting my…

Today, after a few years, I was finally influenced to create a blog page, which only took most of my college student money, which is already a limited resource, but why start a blog as a debby downer? I truly expect to be able to rant and talk about what’s on my mind.
Today’s topic: Feeling useless in comparison to every other STEM major.
So much for not starting off as a debby downer. Anyway, my roommate’s been my best friend since 2nd grade and has already gotten experience in his electrical engineering major. On top of that, he has friends who I went to high school with who were a year under me, yet both are CS majors with plenty of projects under their belts, and one is already employed. It’s impressive, and I’m glad for them, but honestly, it’s disheartening to personally feel so bland compared to others. I truly want to achieve more and wish I could’ve gone back and done more projects or entered more groups and attended more hackathons, but as my old dormmate once said, “Comparison is the killer of joy.”
I have to tell myself there’s no reason to live in the past, and I have to begin doing something with my career/life. This blog is hopefully the very beginning of that change. Hopefully, I can get myself together and be not just ready but also content with my life.
