As my first blog post, I’ll begin with why I started studying in CS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be completely honest, it was on a whim. After graduating with my Biology degree, I was hit with the post-grad blues and felt lost with my next step in life. Having the pandemic occur during this time didn’t really help either. I’m sure this was a universal experience during the pandemic but I had way too much time on hand and wanted to be more productive. Seeing that all my friends where already in the CS field and enjoy their careers, I figured why not? With little knowledge of coding and CS in general, I signed up to the OSU program with my naive logic being that if my friends enjoy CS then I would too. Eventually I did grow to appreciate and enjoy my journey with this program even if I did hit some turbulence at the beginning (turns out not knowing anything about coding makes it harder for you to code). Now that I’m close to the finish line, I plan on finding a career in this field to continue my pursuit in learning more (I feel like there’s still so much more to learn!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
