This is the second article in my series: Milestones for computer science enthusiasts. These are things that helped me in my sophomore year and some lessons I learned along the way. Hopefully, I’ll have more pearls of wisdom to share by the end of this semester. For all the rising juniors out there, stay tuned for the third part of the series!
Transitioning from school to work life
I completed my first internship last summer and I’ve come to realize that there are a lot of differences between college and work life. Even though they’re fundamentally different in nature, there are some qualities that can become habits to ensure a smooth transition.
Acing My Hardest Class
I took a chemistry class my freshman year, and that’s been my hardest class so far. What was the hardest class you ever took and how did you get through it?
Undergraduate Research Experience
As a freshman, I was very reserved about going into research. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, and I wasn’t sure if it was the right path for me. And, to be honest, I still haven’t figured out what I want to specialize in, but here’s how my research experience has helped me so far.
5 things I wish I’d known when applying to Texas A&M
I didn’t grow up in Texas so before coming to college, I had no idea what Texas A&M was like. I had never been on campus visits before and I didn’t know people who went here. So the moment I landed in College Station, surprises started unraveling.
5 milestones for computer science enthusiasts during freshman year
Many freshmen come in knowing what they want to major in; however, most utilize their freshman year to find their passion. I always knew that I wanted to pursue computer science (CS). This post is not about why I love this engineering major, but about how Texas A&M makes me love it even more. So if you’re a freshman coming into Texas A&M next semester and you don’t yet know which island in the vast ocean of engineering you want to inhabit, I hope this article enlightens you about most of the opportunities in computer science.
Away from Aggieland
This year, everyone across the globe has witnessed unanticipated circumstances and sudden unwelcome changes to lifestyle. People from all walks of life had to face these challenges. As a Texas A&M student, I would say that one of the most disheartening things that happened last semester was that students couldn’t return to Aggieland. This article is my attempt to describe the indescribable.
