Well, I did it. I graduated! Actually, it’s been about 2 months since I’ve graduated. It’s a different experience than my undergrad graduation.

I’m spending most of my days now applying for jobs. It has been a TOUGH search, to be honest. I’ll keep it light here and will note that I’ve stumbled upon some roles that really ignite excitement. Based off of some of these, I had ChatGPT write me a job description which was kinda fun.
