Finally got to process and sit down to write the summary of the third year at uni -the last leg of this great, life-changing journey that university has became. After graduating I jumped into full-time employment, which with addition to being a parent, leaves no room for much more extra activities. Although I was super happy to finally see the finish line, some part of me was a bit sad that this part of my life is ending.

And here it is, crème de la crème project summarising my three years at the university- a final major project (FMP).

My first React web app has been created for one of my university units. Whilst I have the most experience in Vue, this project shows that once you get the hang of one framework ( and obviously have understanding of vanilla JS), the knowledge is easily transferable to other frameworks. Of course, syntax will be different, but the logic is pretty much the same.

Another year of being a student has come to an end. 2/3 years complete. I remember thinking three years is a long time, but honestly, time seems to be going a lot quicker nowadays.

According to Contactually, “your brain processes what it’s seeing on video 60,000 times faster than it processes text.” Sending a gif or a meme can also help improve communication between co-workers and is a great way to tighten the relationships.

Since most of my days are now split between inventing things we can do while locked inside the house, and which will satisfy a short-attention-span of a three-year-old, and finishing all my uni assignments, I have literally no time (or power) for any extra-curriculum learning. Sad, but that’s how it is sometimes. After all, we are all just humans, right?
Anyway, I thought I will tell u a little story of how I got into Uni after I thought I never would be able to. I wanted to write this post for a long time to shine some light on my past and maybe to inspire someone in a similar situation to mine.
