The amount I&#8217;ve learned over the past 2-years is hard to believe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m really impressed with the variety of projects that the instructors have picked out. I&#8217;m even more impressed to see quite a few industry sponsors that will give students the opportunity to develop an application with real-life customers. It took quite a while to browse through each project and pick my top 6. If I&#8217;m able to land any of those 6, I think I&#8217;ll be satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main struggle I had with choosing projects was about how far out of my comfort zone I&#8217;m willing to go. There were many projects listed that I have no idea how to implement. Yet, there were also projects that I think I&#8217;d be very comfortable implementing. With only 10 weeks left and a full-time job, I don&#8217;t want to have to spend the majority of my time learning a new technology and leave little time for actually implementing the project. On the other hand, I want to make sure I&#8217;m actually learning something new. As a result, I picked projects that seemed like just enough of a stretch such that I would be able to balance my learning time with my implementation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My number one choice is a project with an industry sponsor. Luckily, my current skillset seems to fit what they&#8217;re looking for. Fingers crossed. Stay tuned for the next post where I&#8217;ll be discussing which project I landed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus photo of my cat to lighten things up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"422\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5944\/files\/2022\/09\/IMG_3705-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5944\/files\/2022\/09\/IMG_3705-1.jpg 422w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5944\/files\/2022\/09\/IMG_3705-1-300x269.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pretty exciting to finally be nearing the end of this journey at OSU.
