Insight From a College Student

Hello! I'm Sierra! 22. Currently working on earning my Bachelors of Science in CS! Hopefully this blog motivates you to study, as well as help myself!

Hey guys, so I’ve seen some posts around about daily routines so I thought I’d share my own. I consider myself to be great at being productive even early in the morning, and here’s how I achieve that. Hope this is helpful, and feel free to ask me questions if you have any!

12:44 PM // September 12, 2017 | Finally got my microeconomics workbook in after it being out of stock for so long! Spending my day off with some needed studying and getting this workbook filled in with a side of cucumbers and lemon. It's been hard finding time to study with my work schedule as I work practically every day except today.

9:15 AM // September 6, 2017 | Brainstorming for my discussion pertaining to International Trade or Opportunity Cost in Microeconomics in the media today before my CS class this morning. Hopefully I come up with something soon!

I can't believe I've worked at least 40 hours this week and am still on top of my courses....usually I'm last minute at getting my stuff done

Hello, I'm going to be starting a Computer Science degree this September and to be honest, i'm a little scared. Do you have any tips to get ready before university starts to prepare for the course? e.g. revise maths. Thank you.

Hiya!  😊 Don’t be scared, it’s going to be fine! You’ll be awesome! 

Hm, as for the tips:

💻  yeah, do revise math - we had mostly math during our first year and it was pretty intense, so if you know there are some topics you’re not sure how to do, then you should redo them :)  

💻  read about the clean code - there are some certain behaviors and /ways/ to code that can be hard to unlearn once you start doing them. You can read all about that in this book Clean Code by Robert C. Martin. Codeacademy courses or any other online courses are good tho, they will write about what to avoid so you can start with them if you want to code! :) 

💻  watch a movie - go watch some IT related movies, it’s your holidays after all. Eg.  Steve Jobs, The Social Network, Mr. Robot 

Well I haven’t really done much preparing to be honest and it worked out okay! So I guess just relax?  😊 Just pay attention to what the professors are saying from the very beginning and don’t be scared to go up to people and just start talking to them. Some people on computer science can be weird (like they might not answer right away or they might not answer at all). At least they seem weird, but once you get to know them, they can be really great! Honestly, though, you should be fine! Nobody expects you’re going to be a pro-coder already, they’re fully aware there will be people who haven’t coded before AT ALL, so do not be afraid!!

Hope it helped a bit, good luck x
