I am studying algorithms in college and after struggling with it I finally grasped some fundamental concepts.

Great job, Dean! I'll be taking an algorithms course next semester, and seeing you post this is inspiring, reminds me it's possible to get through the struggle.

Thanks for the nice comment! This semester hasn't been that great for me so far but it's getting better gradually and I think I will become a better computer scientist after all this struggle. Are you a first year?

Yes! I'm about to finish my first semester of intro to C++. I'm doing it part time while I work, and I keep telling myself the same, that this will make me better!

That's great that you can gain experience while studying! I'm studying full time sadly and schoolwork is just a bit too much for me take on an internship rn.

I can't imagine working while studying full time! I'm lucky to be able to do it in parts, once class at a time.
