Now that the I am nearing closer to my start date, I find myself needing to be ready for my upcoming job, from refreshing on technologies to getting ready to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5441\/files\/2022\/04\/React_logo_wordmark-1024x344.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5441\/files\/2022\/04\/React_logo_wordmark-1024x344.png 1024w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5441\/files\/2022\/04\/React_logo_wordmark-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5441\/files\/2022\/04\/React_logo_wordmark-768x258.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5441\/files\/2022\/04\/React_logo_wordmark-1536x516.png 1536w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5441\/files\/2022\/04\/React_logo_wordmark-2048x688.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the frameworks that my company uses would be React. Since it has been a while since I have used React, I asked my teammates that I mainly focus on Front-End development for the capstone project so that I can refresh my knowledge of React before I start my job. It has been at least 6 months since I last touched React and I am rusty to say the least. Even so, I will turn to the best source of free information available on the internet: YouTube! Along with YouTube videos, rereading the React official documentation will be a must for me and will help me greatly.But it is not just refreshing my technical knowledge that I am worried about. Relocating across the US has also become a priority as I near my start date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newcitymovers.com\/content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/moving-boxes.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From looking at apartments to figuring out what I plan on bringing with me and leaving behind, there is much to consider! I found one of most difficult things when looking for apartments is the distance. Unfortunately, I don&#8217;t have the liberty to simply drive out and look around. Much of my research has been reading up on reviews online and making as accurate of a judgement call as I can. Fortunately, I have at least planned a small trip about month prior to my relocation date so I can properly scout out apartments and come to a decision. Before then, I will be doing as much research as possible so that I can narrow down my choices when I arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few things I need to be prepped for by the end of the semester! Despite worrying out the future, I find myself even more excited to learn and relearn all these things! So much to do, so little time! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a lot of luck and a moderate amount of work, I managed to land a software engineering job for after I graduate this Spring 2022 semester at Oregon State University!
