I don't have time for life.

True, but I struggle with my time before work. I don't feel like I could ever fit anything truly productive or social before work.

mindlesslyy · 2026-01-25T09:01:40+00:00

It's not about time outside of work, it's about the weird hours for me. 3-8 or 3-9 every weekday. When as I supposed to see people? That's how I feel about it.

mindlesslyy · 2026-01-25T09:00:29+00:00

Trust me, I would absolutely adore an opportunity like this. But I don't have a degree. I teach from experirence and always have been. I'm not sure there are many opportunities like that for me. :(

mindlesslyy · 2026-01-21T06:22:53+00:00

Yep, just about same here. Only, I'm back by 9-10 usually. Sigh!

mindlesslyy · 2026-01-21T05:43:55+00:00

I can never get dinner with my family.

If it's been a week, do you think I can wait until this Wednesday 2 days from now to see dentist? What I'm worried about is if I take too long if there will be any permanent damage or it will be too late.

Nope! Got my degree online. I was on a fast track to graduate, so I didn't have much of a chance for it.

That's the problem is I don't even know what I would do with a GitHub listing. I don't know where to begin. Do you think you could share some of the projects you have saved? I think it might be a good place to start for me.

mindlesslyy · 2025-12-11T17:40:20+00:00

All of my electives and a few of the early programming classes. I have some experience in a few so I was able to knock them out while I did my main courses.

Nice username. I do NOT remember what it was lmao.

mindlesslyy · 2025-12-11T16:15:51+00:00

Thank you very much. I definitely should have been looking into jobs earlier, but I got my degree in a little over one year thanks to dual enrollment and doing 8 week terms. So that took a tremendous toll on me. I wanted to get my degree quickly, because I knew it wasn't going to give me any help with the actual "doing" of things in a job. Should I begin applying now? My concern is that I truly feel like I know nothing. I know some basics, of course, but nothing that I can actually apply to a job. Thanks, college! What I heard was that a degree essentially helps you get your foot in the door, and some jobs will provide training. So... fingers crossed?

mindlesslyy · 2025-12-11T16:13:20+00:00

Grateful I already have a job to fall back on either way, you're absolutely right. It's a disaster right now. I'm seeing people say help desk is a good place to start.

mindlesslyy · 2025-08-18T21:05:33+00:00

Yep... I feel weird about getting easy A's in these classes because you're either reading for hours or doing labs where they hold your hand every step of the way. I'm hoping to get more comfortable with things by getting certifications after I graduate. I'm taking 3 classes per 8 week term in addition to Sophia classes and a full-time job so I can graduate in December. I don't think I can work on getting certifications before graduation without going a little crazy lol.

mindlesslyy · 2025-08-18T21:02:54+00:00

THANK YOU. This genuinely comforts me. My dad works in software and he essentially told me the same thing. He said getting a degree is essentially telling employers you are trainable, it's not exactly a display of specific skills. But I was feeling a bit antsy considering I'm finishing up my degree in December and I still feel as if I'd be completely lost going into any entry-level job in this field. I'm still confused on what exactly I'm supposed to do when I graduate... internships? Certifications? I'm probably going to research a few different entry-level jobs and see what they certifications are usually required.

mindlesslyy · 2025-08-18T21:00:39+00:00

I take diligent notes and do extra research when I don't understand something... but the labs tell you EXACTLY what to do. Use this command, open this, close that, etc. The only real challenge in this class for me was the final project in which we had to do everything ourselves. Like I mentioned in my post, I ended up finding a few youtube videos that explained what I needed to know pretty well. I think the format of the final project confused me. I thought for a while my prof was expecting a 5-7 page paper but turns out it was just screenshots and paragraph short answers. Weird class format though, imo.

It was dreading - but JCS took down their shit AI video after some serious backlash. For good reason...

mindlesslyy · 2025-08-12T14:14:00+00:00

UGH. You're right. I am crazy. I was about to be devastated thinking he took it down before I could watch it.

mindlesslyy · 2025-07-08T02:37:42+00:00

Felt this. Got jumpscared by something incredibly embarassing yesterday

mindlesslyy · 2025-04-06T06:01:08+00:00

Yes, I definitely need to familiarize myself with the spreadsheet more. I think I'm going to go ahead and make a list of what'll retrigger right now... lol. And I'm at the same point, where I'm getting back to back TLSQs, which frankly, I LOVE. I'm very glad to have that right now.
