I’ve been taking a bit of a social media break in an effort to break my phone addiction and it’s worked a little bit. Slow progress is still progress. Today I decided to do some self care and dilly dally at the bookstore and work on some writing I’ve been doing in my free time to reset my brain. Definitely helping. 📖💻
Happy pride month 🏳️🌈

Today went a little bit better than it has been lately. I managed to lock in over the weekend and finish quite a bit of problem sets for discrete math. Final exam this week 🤌
i love finding different sources and pages for what i'm studying because it makes me feel like i am investigating something. also, green notes.
a bit of a rant but why in the hell are technical information technology (not management) degrees in the business college at most four year unis in the US? as someone who is in the field and is getting a B.S in an IT related field, business classes & accounting are absolutely useless for troubleshooting infrastructure issues. the actual IT classes are so out of date that the technologies you learned about in school are end of life and obsolete once you're actually working. let's actually have relevant degrees for IT professionals that prepare them to support an ever expanding digital world. side note: i absolutely love my uni for having relevant degrees. it's helping so much with my career <3
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
it's exam day for Network+! I have been studying 2+ hours daily for this stupid cert for weeks on end.
I will pass this test because I am knowledgeable of all areas of the content.
I have the problem solving skills necessary to figure out the answers to the questions.
I prepared adequately for this and I will pass.
Worked for ~5h so far.
-Summarised 2 novels
-finished notes on economic theories
-currently taking notes on the EUs economic market
(-> ended up with ~7h in total and somehow managed to catch up on everything I didn’t do yesterday??)
this upcoming year, i'm focusing on my career goals, personal wellness, and my spirituality.
