if you are seeing this, you are going to prosper. you are experiencing a new part of your life where you will bloom into a better version of yourself and flourish. abundance is coming your way; love is coming your way; peace and clarity are coming your way. you have nothing to fear and even less to worry about. the darkness around you has been the soil and you are now getting ready to sprout. you are going to prosper
It gets a little bit easier once you realize you can accomplish things at your own pace and thatβs okay

I apologize if I ever was a toxic person in your life, Iβm maturing more everyday, correcting my wrongs and slowly but surely becoming a better version of me.
Planning pro tip: spreadsheets.
Most days have been productive days in a while because exam szn is almost upon us. Reminding myself to get back and relax without Netflix or quick study breaks. I hope you're all doing well!!!
Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer.Β
Weβre saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old.Β
An America hero, Johnsonβs legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.
Once a βhuman computerβ, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.
And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that heβd trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.
As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.
With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnsonβs brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.
βWe will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.β - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020Β
May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come!Β What does Katherine Johnsonβs legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.Β

βThe most important thing Iβve accomplished, other than building the compiler, is training young people. They come to me, you know, and say, βDo you think we can do this?β I say, βTry it.β And I back βem up. They need that. I keep track of them as they get older and I stir βem up at intervals so they donβt forget to take chances.β

Hello dearies!!!
I just got the forest app, and I am loving it. I was wondering who else uses it because I want to join rooms.
Let me know if you are also keen on joining my rooms as well, thanks in advance.π
Happy Studying!!! π
YAY!Β

hey guys, hope your skin is clear and you get a text from someone you like real soon.
also that your lunch tastes good, you find twenty dollars on the ground, and that thing coming up that you were dreading turns out not so bad
Passing this good karma
I reblogged this 3 days ago and my skin got clear and I got a message from a guy who refers to me as queen yesterday. Good karma vibes all around.
This better be working!!
I get a message, about once a month, from a random person (or perhaps friend) for advice in computer science, be it about motivation or how hard it is, or whatever else.
I will say this once, and a million times over after that: do computer science outside of class. Do more than just your homework. Come up with a cool project. Learn Perl. Learn Python. Learn Linux. Learn git. Learn bash scripting. DoΒ somethingΒ beyond what youβre just learning in class.
This teaches you how to teach yourself things, and it teaches you how to love your discipline, which is so ridiculously important as a computer science student and a computer scientist in the field.Β
huh that seemingly unpleasant task only ended up taking eight minutes to complete and was surprisingly satisfying, I may have erred in putting it off for two weeks.
