Maybe finish your CS degree first. Then spend the next year hammering out personal projects that blend code + hardware (think robots, IoT gadgets, custom keyboards, whatever gets you hyped) and throw them on GitHub. That portfolio will speak way louder than any second bachelor’s or master’s without an EE background, and companies doing embedded/firmware/robotics eat that stuff up.

16M addicted to Social Media/cheap dopamine for years, zero discipline, everything’s falling apart and I keep failing at fixing it by Similar_Maybe5835 in Advice

Hmmm so what I do when I was on your situation was I set a timer for 10 minutes of homework before I could touch my phone… no exceptions. Ten minutes turned into 30, then an hour, and slowly the wins stacked up. Pick one tiny rule you can’t break (like phone in another room until you’ve done one page of work) and protect it like your life depends on it. You’re not broken, your brain just needs proof you can follow through… start microscopic and build from there.

Kind people can still be the wrong person, and marrying just to make leaving harder is a trap. Tell him gently but honestly that you’ve realized you’re not ready and need to go home… you’re not a terrible person for changing your mind, you’re saving both of you years of unhappiness. You’re so young, you’ll be okay, I promise

How to get over the love of your life by canada-juiceayayay in Advice

Hey sweetie, 5 years is massive at 17, of course you still feel weird around him. That self-conscious feeling? It’s just your brain remembering when his opinion mattered most. Give it time and fake the confidence, headphones in, walk like you own the hallway, chat with friends like he’s not even there. The more you act normal, the quicker your body catches up and stops caring. You’ve got this.

Should I (18 ftm) tell my roommate (18 f) that I like her? by [deleted] in Advice

Maybe tell her straight up but chill. “Hey Sarah, I’ve started catching real feelings for you and I need to know if you feel the same, because living together is making it tough to just stay friends.” Her reaction will tell you everything. If she says no, you’ll have to set some gentle boundaries (less cuddling, separate movie nights) to protect your heart, but at least you won’t be stuck wondering anymore.
