Ndilly’s Life Journal

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lHhL2Cj1zSY/maxresdefault.jpg Everyone loves to discuss the perks of studying Computer Science — six-figure salaries, travel opportunities, free food, and endless networking events. But behind the scenes, it’s a different story. Those rewards come at the cost of hard work, sleepless nights, and a complete overhaul of your daily routine. Over time, it can take a serious toll, leading to mental health struggles, chronic stress, and even major health problems. This is the Survival Diary of a Computer Science student — a glimpse into the real journey behind the glamorous surface. HOW TO SURVIVE CS "What do you mean, surviving CS? I don't care — as long as I get that six-figure salary, that's all that matters." This mindset is more common than you think. Many students prioritize landing the "six-figure job" over caring for their mental and physical health. As a result, they sacrifice sleep, skip regular health check-ups, and abandon any s...

Is It Really Worth All This Draining? YES ! Let me just say that by the time I was in 6th grade, I was already 100% sure I wanted to major in Computer Science. And I had three solid reasons: 1. I had been doing Computer Science since middle school. 2. Computers fascinated me. 3. I was really good at it. WHY CS? So… here’s the thing: I’d been doing Computer Science since 6th grade. And let me just say that it was pretty interesting, for someone that wasn't really interested in technology from a younger age I would say that I was really fascinated by it once I got to learn everything about a computer- from the basics like hardware and software - I became fascinated. Fast forward to high school... I kept pursuing Computer Science and learned something ...

From a student that has been there Let me just say, the first few weeks of Uni are the most productive weeks throughout your whole semester. In those first weeks, you're likely to stay on top of lectures and assignments. Unfortunately, as time goes on, you’ll most likely start missing classes. SO... DOES GPA EVEN MATTER? So, does your GPA really matter? The answer is both no and yes. Your grades don't really matter in the sense of, if you're in a STEM based field recruiters/hiring managers don't focus much on your transcript, rather on your level of experience; projects you've worked on outside school, the impact, leadership roles as well as how fast you're to adapt and how keen you're on learning to be great within your domain. Yes. Your Grades Do MATTER! Apart from just your experience, your academics also sets you apart and that's because it showcas...
