The CS Degree Comparison Trap (And Why Struggling is Actually Cool)
In this post, I don't want to be overly professional or post some perfectly structured, AI-generated essay. I just want to be real about what it actually feels like to be a CS student.
🚨 The Comparison Trap
In a Computer Science degree, no matter how much work you put in, it always feels like someone else did it way before you. That demotivation is completely real, and it weighs on you.
⚡ Why Struggling is Cool
But there’s one thing everyone needs to remember:
- Struggling is cool.
- Putting in the effort is cool.
- Grinding is cool.
You just have to lock in. You aren't in a race against anyone else, and there is always plenty of time to catch up. So no matter how slow you feel you're moving, just keep going.
🎯 The Mindset Shift
Never stop doing what you need to do. Never stop failing, because failure is just proof that you actually tried.
Just don't make the same mistake twice, and always believe that you’re going to make it sooner or later.
