A big part of fighting off imposter syndrome for me, as I have come to realize, is literally not taking myself too seriously and realizing I am a baby in a new space of information. I realize it’s ok and not ok to not be knowledgeable about everything…I have to continue to struggle to learn and be able to smart about realizing what environments are conducive to my learning and which are destructive. I sometimes am able to push myself and others times am not…I need to integrate myself better into the tech community; it seems like a giant entity that is hard to understand and find a spot into… I am too siloed off into my own little hole. Just take a look at this “blog”, what a joke…but is it working in my take in trying to be “authentic”, but not taking on a cut and paste bootstrap css website? I used it a bit…but using it for the entire website…then I’d really lose any sense of personalization.

I acknowledge that I write a lot of cringy stuff. Is it worth anything, any benefit to me, to write a blog like this? Is it going to help me get a job, make new interesting friends? Maybe, but probably not…not exactly a unique hobby as a CS student in 2022…

Anyways, happy holidays!
