(Please don’t be mean to me; this is just my perspective, and I’m simply trying to build a community. No trolls, please.)

The reason is that if you have no background in coding, you’re going in blind. Everything is going to be daunting, and it feels terrible every step of the way. Understand that this is normal, and you will feel this way for the next 5+ years. In order to make it manageable, I highly encourage you to take breaks and do things that you personally enjoy.

For example, for me, it’s writing and journaling. I like to take breaks and describe my troubles to others who might encounter the same struggles decades or centuries later on my Medium page and maybe make millions publishing later on.

Anyway, I have no ownership of my thoughts, and I bet this data will be obtained by Medium, but I didn’t read the policy and legal stuff.

I know I have to start somewhere; I will lose some stuff out there and have to sell myself a little here and there to get far. I feel like my sacrifices to move far from home, prioritize school, miss birthdays, funerals, and family reunions because I chose school.

Although I don’t think everyone has to live this way, this is how I chose to live. I also enjoyed the time away from my family, and I think a lot of it helped me grow fonder and more compassionate towards my family and friends at home.

Only until I have experienced the rough patches of Cal and competition do I appreciate the goodness, kindness, and warmth of home.

I don’t always have to teach myself to struggle in order to be grateful and content with myself.

But I learned that my personality is consistent with being bold, lively, and spontaneous.

Other than that, I’m learning to embrace these parts of me. I love data science after almost finishing now. It’s never been linear, and I never want it to be linear and predictable, just like the stock market. That’s what gets people invested and enjoying the thrill, just as much as I enjoy chaos. Good chaos, of course.
