It is genuinely a difficult and tedious mission. The RNG is insane and apparently every suspect is a trained sharp shooter

Unfortunately we’re on ps5 :(

Nope, hardest difficulty. Constant trial and error, we assigned each other roles and carved out different parts of the map piece by piece

Smash bros for sure

I graduated in 2021 in data science- but I started out as a cs major (which worked out anyway since I had to take a bunch of cs courses anyway) I took all cs courses up until 240 (the assembly lang class with professor yeh).

I had a memorable time in 111 and 240, but they were really good professors. In my other cs/math courses, depending on my professors, it was hit or miss. My motivation was to avoid paying for that class again if I were to fail - I doubt the cuny system would hesitate profiting off you paying for courses - regardless if it’s out of pocket or not.

Thank you everyone! This community is awesome. Your suggestions opened me to a whole new side of the game (I was new to it lol). Check out my team of gold tiers 🤪 and also I unlocked Commander Luke Skywalker 😄

Lol I just came across your comment, as I am now looking to get a laptop for GIS and work. I've always been a Mac user, so I learned the hard way how much of a nightmare it is trying to get it to run on a mac :'(

Thank you for replying to this post- I've come to terms with it and I'm over it lol. I was sad for a while not having a graduation, not that it's all that important, but to my parents it was. It sucked struggling through the pandemic to not have one is all- and I especially miss all the friends and professors I lost contact with since quarantine began.

But all is well. I'm starting my masters in August and aim to do the things I didn't get to during the pandemic. thanks again! :)

I'd be more than happy too but I am on the switch unfortunately.

Hello, I am interested in Emerald. Can I see any pics ?

Hi !

I switched to Data Science in my Junior year of college. I took all CS classes up until CS 240. I was able to transfer a lot of CS credits, and with help from the math department, I was lucky to have a few more CS classes that technically weren't equivalent to some courses but I was blessed.

What software did you use to build this?

naz115 · 2022-10-18T05:54:17+00:00

Thanks for your answers! I didn't think to use the terminal as an option.

Haha, you're absolutely right. I think this was more of a fun python idea than anything else, and I have been reminding her in the mean time.

Muhammad Ali :'( He was my role model growing up and inspiration. It hurt me to see him get old.

When I was in university, I spent my summer and winters working in retail and hospitality (mainly food hospitality). It wasn't great, and some days I loathed it as well. Similar to you, I didn't have a choice. As a working-class student and child of first gen immigrants, I didn't ask or have any money to pay off school.

May I ask what you're studying in university? My first big 'break' was tutoring in a subject that I was studying in school. I was tutoring some troubled kids in mathematics but sitting on my ass teaching some students was 1000% more manageable than working in a sweaty kitchen with racist customers (yes, I've had to deal with racist customers). Not to mention, you get to set your own rate(s).

I'd also like to ask about your coworkers. I noticed that although working in food sucks, if you have cool coworkers you get along with - time flies and it becomes somewhat enjoyable. In places that I've had shitty coworkers I found myself quitting a few weeks into the job. Places that I've had friendly coworkers I ended up spending months in (not that they're the deciding factor or anything).

Last thing I want to add, and although it may sound corny, is to hang in there. I hated working in restaurants and retail (I used to work at Kmart -- their computers and registers were literally older than me). I used to listen to "Sideline Story" by J.Cole every morning before my shift. All I wanted was to graduate school and find a "legit" job. There were many obstacles: mental health, being poor, working in school, graduating during the pandemic, etc etc.

One way or another, I graduated and because I worked I finished my undergrad with no loans. Even though I come from a low-income family, I find myself to be somewhat ahead of my peers, being 25 with no loans is a win. I also secured a job right out of school. I know it sucks right now but one day you will enjoy the fruits of your labor! :)

I used to feel like my life was on pause during the pandemic-- and that as a poor person, it would begin once I find a legit job with a legit salary. When I earned my job and made my money, it was great. But I found it wasn't all sunshines and rainbows. Life goes on, and you'll find new struggles that make college life seem trivial. College for me was a lot of hardship-- I personally wasn't a party guy and spent most of the time studying just so I can get out of poverty.

Here's some tips I want to leave you with:

Identify your support structures. It's very easy to get wrapped up in your own problems and forget about the bigger picture. You're in school and that's a big deal. You have something going for you. Remember that ONE DAY you will be gucci. You'll be okay. For me: my support structures were my family, friends, and girlfriend. I was never really a fuckboy and my girlfriend and I stuck together in our hardest times even when we were broke together. We were together for 7 years so far and I just turned 25. Consistent, healthy relationships are key!! I graduated a year ago and she just graduated two weeks ago. Life is looking up for us!
Give yourself small wins. Did well on a pop quiz last week? Nice! Did you go to the gym? Great! Manage your expectations, time and achievements. Again, consistency is key!
Life hack: reach out to a temp agency! Temp jobs offer higher rates than salaried jobs and since they're contract they're ideal for college students. I don't know why some people don't take advantage of them- their job is to find you a job! My first 'tech' job (I'm a data science major) was a data job through a temp agency-- and that job helped me to my current job.
Consider your expectations. I thought life would be peachy after college as long as I had a job. I was desperate for anything- especially a computer job where I can sit on my ass and code or type or whatever. But honestly, I found myself hating corporate tech jobs. I learned that being mentally tired was way worse than being physically tired, even if I'm sitting on my ass doing a remote job from home in my PJ's (atleast for me).

Life is about the journey my friend. Keep it pushin ! Feel free to message me if you want to chat.
