My Advice for the First Semester


If I were to go back a full semester, I would first tell myself to relax. I would elaborate on how welcoming the ASU West campus is, especially to transfer students. Along with that, I would also inform him that it takes study time and hard work to continue to get good grades. These two key points, I feel, are the only two that really need to be said to a nervous transfer student about to enter a big-time university. There was a level of uncertainty with how the transfer process would pan out, but in the end, I felt it went smoothly. All that time worrying about the unknown changes brought by the transfer were a complete waste of mental energy. This is my second semester at ASU West Campus and I feel about the same level of comfort as if I were there for years.

The Growth Mindset: My Experience

       I often considered myself to be of a growth mindset, seeing each challenge as an opportunity to improve. Those of us who have a growth mindset hold that any person can learn or become successful in any subject provided they have said mindset. In their book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success , Carol Dweck notes that those who have a growth mindset are not always slated for success, but are not failures when they fail. Those who have this mindset see failure as an opportunity to improve and better themselves in that subject. After reading and discussing this book in class I found that there was a time where I lost sight of this mindset.        Last semester I gradually slipped into a fixed mindset in a philosophy class when I got back my grade for the midterm. I looked at the less than optimal grade and thought that "I will definitely not be getting an A in this class." As the semester went on, I noticed that my grades were doing quite well except for one class. I p

Dream Job

I would say that my dream job would likely fall under the software development career category. Ideally, I would want a job that allows me to work with a team to create something that serves a notable purpose. Recently, I came into contact with a representative of Amazon who heavily encouraged me to apply for an internship. Following that, I suppose my dream job would be to develop applications for Amazon. Going off of my last blog, I suppose that the reason for why this would be my dream job would be that I simply enjoy creating/developing a product to solve a problem or to make life easier. This has been my goal in general, to find a job that allows me to create products that solve problems.

Advice for My "Freshman Self"

If I were to go back in time to talk to my freshman self I would first tell him to relax. There were a number of new things that made me nervous upon starting at a college, but none of them truly worth worrying too much about. I would also tell him to maintain his organizational standards and to keep using the journal method. Every semester I keep a calendar/organizational journal to keep track of assignments and test dates. While I could use an application to keep track of these things, I found that handwriting them down simply felt better and more reliable in the long-term. I would also be sure to tell them to practice programming over summer breaks. During my last summer break I took the opportunity to practice programming with an experienced Applied Computing graduate in preparation for joining Professor Feng Wang's research team. I learned a lot in the span of just a month and found myself regretting not practicing my programming skills over previous summer breaks.
