What if my code is too low level ? What if I can't even find a project ? Basically thinking my knowledge was too less to actually 'contribute' but Hacktober proved me wrong in everyway. I found some amazing repos here --&gt; <a href="https://discord.gg/hacktoberfest">https://discord.gg/hacktoberfest</a> (official hacktober discord server) and did whatever I had learnt from YouTube and my college's DSC community. </p> <p>Funny thing is I could not even properly pull my first request but somehow figured out everything, so what I want to say is give it a try. </p> <p>You can watch some videos (do not watch a lot you will get confused) and then just dive straight into it. What's the worst that can happen ? You simply won't be able to pull your request but you can always ask for help so basically you do not need to worry if you are an absolute beginner.</p> <p>The society is there to help ONLY if you are willing to ask for it.</p> <p>P.S. - I would have loved to include the photos of my prizes but they aren't shipped yet lol.</p> <ul> <li>Rishika</li> <li><a href="mailto:rishika150802@gmail.com">rishika150802@gmail.com</a></li> </ul> hacktoberfest
