The day I got into my major at UT, I remember running around my house screaming and crying. The fam thought someone had died. I had my Econ final the next day and I bombed it because I didn’t study the night before. Not a single regret.
8 months later, on my first class day at UT, I lost my wallet and keys. College life started off on the wrong foot. Later that night, I broke down on the floor of my sisters apartment because I was convinced that I wasn’t cut out to be a CS major.
I finished my coursework in Dec. 2019 with no honors, no distinctions, but with depression! Those 3.5 years of school took the life out of me, so I was determined to rebuild myself during this first half of 2020.
And here I am, rebuilt. Very little of my college career went according to the vision that materialized in my head the day I got my acceptance. I never expected to learn this much about being resilient. I’ll rely on those lessons for the rest of my life.
So I guess all I have to say is that even though it was rough and I’d never do it again, I’m so thankful for @UTAustin and @UTCompSci. I have everything to look forward to and so much to be grateful for! Hook em horns baby.
