Freshman Year of college was definitely a wake-up call for people straight out of high school that’s for sure lol. My first year of college definitely taught me that procrastination is definitely a no-no 😂.

Thank you! This video really eased my nerves a little bit. I’ll be a freshman in about a week and I’ve been having second thoughts about majoring in computer science. I took some classes in high school that I did very well in but I’m honesty scared and nervous for the rigorous coursework. There’s so many videos online that are very discouraging but I want to stick with it. The reoccurring thought that I’m not smart enough is weighing down on me :/

I love that you went straight to the points without a long intro. Were you able to find employment after graduation?

[webbytimes]

I'm transitioning from healthcare to STEM this Fall--classes begin in a week! I'm super excited to begin my computing journey alongside my peers. Thanks for creating amazing content. Be well!

[igyzsrt]

Gonna start as a freshman this year, thanks for this video very helpful it really made me feel relief and less stressed about it

[GoBears]

Love that i came acrostic your video! I'm 33 & decided that the Healthcare field is boring and i need a change! Registered and planned out my timberline for CS with a minor in computer technology & I'm sooo excited! Thank you for taking time to provide us with this info!

Im currently in highschool right now, a year before we graduate and Im taking computer science as my backup subject in case i didnt make it to medical school. I got a decent mark for comp sci about a C, nearly a B which I thought Im decent at comp sci. After quarantine hits for like 5 months, I forgot every little basic python and pseudocode and since we skipped the basics and proceeded the subject after 5 months of quarantine, I am the only student struggling and having to review back 5-7 months of basic notes on every question. Im crying I need help on my comp sci. The worst thing is I dont own ANY new exercise books for the entire extended lockdown so i wrote nothing for more than 5 months not knowing its affecting my grades ALOT. I would love to study and write notes but another issue comes from my family. My mom is the type who thinks house chores is more important than studying and nothing can change her mind till I move out which only happens AFTER high school. I prefer writing down on books and not on docs because I don’t absorb any information that way. School is starting in like 2 weeks and I havent get any job done because of family issued causing huge stress. My triple science and maths is also failing. Everything is failing but I dont want it to affect my future. Im currently writing this at 2am because I’ve seen your other videos and im sorry if this isnt related to the video. Sorry but im new here, is there any tips to learn back the basics ASAP before school starts? I really dont want to look like a bad student because i really want to pass all my subjects including comp sci

Im going to college in the fall as CS major without any previous experience. My parents are scared. I am hesitant. This helped relax me. I am currently taking an online class.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!! :)

ughh this is so helpful! I was nervous :, )

[ritachistyakova]

Omg thank you very much! I got a relief

[chastixx]

This is such a helpful video, thank you so much ❤

[misspsychoticbunny]

thank you, you make me feel better! I do know basic coding stuff, but I'm overwhelmed with anxiety feeling that I'm still not doing enough or I cannot write a code without looking it up.

CS classes aren’t just classes where u come in to class, listen and do homework. You need to make this a hobby and do it religiously in order to learn. I am going to school taking 4 classes while also working at a job for 32hrs a week. It is hard to learn and absorb the coding information if you’re not coding and practicing everyday.

[albeenajoseph]

hii enjoyed the video!! i have been watching your othe CS videos and tbh you did motivate be to take CS major for college. soo could u make a video what all subjects you chose, if any extra courses you did to highlight your resume, your recommendations and all other things like advices u would give a freshmen :) THANKS

[lifewithaleks]

[loucchiealexander]
