First blogpost

 The answer to the question “What are you going to be when you grow up?” has always been somewhat of a question mark for me. I have never had a clear vision about what I'm going to do next in life. But I’ve always known that I don’t want to just sit back and do nothing, I want to do something cool and interesting. I want to be successful in life. When I finished high school, I was quite lost because I didn’t know where to apply next. However, computers have always interested me and had a place in my heart. I was naturally good at solving problems with computers since I had spent a good amount of time with computers. I trusted my instincts and decided to apply for information processing at the university of Oulu. Now I’m 20 years old and a first-year student at the university of Oulu, studying information processing. So far it has been great, I’ve enjoyed the topics, and I feel like I am good at this. I still don’t have a clear vision about what I’m going to be doing in my future work life, but that doesn’t scare me. My instincts have already gotten me this far, so I'm sure that I will find a job in the future that is made just for me. 

This blog is the place where I share my thoughts and all the new things that I've learned and will learn about in the future during my studies. Although I’m new to blogging, I believe that having this blog will benefit me in many ways. It can help me to learn more, connect with other people but most importantly help me achieve my goals. By telling my story and goals here, I can also inspire or help others to solve their problems. Surely having this blog will also help me improve my writing skills and my English skills in general. Why not set my first goal right away. My first goal could be to notice the difference in my English skills now and after I’ve finished my English courses this period. To be more specific, I'm going to try to learn three new words every day. That may not seem like a lot, but in the long term it adds up. That is 21 new words a week, and almost 100 words a month! Goals don’t have to be enormous, the main thing is to actually have goals. By setting this goal, I’m certain that I will notice an improvement in my language skills by the end of this period.

    I can relate to not having a clear vision for the future. I knew I wanted to pursue this field but never had a specific profession in mind. It’s kind of nice though, because it gives you the freedom to explore different areas and see where your interests really lie.

    Really like your attitude not stressing too much about what you need to do, but still working hard.

    Don't worry about what's 200 meters away and a day later. This is a saying I like very much, in my opinion, enjoying the moment is the most important, because no one can predict what will happen in the next second. Thank you for your sharing about choosing this major, which also makes me further think about my view on it study. Good luck with your goal.

    Embracing uncertainty while trusting your instincts is a good approach to life. Setting consistent goals for language learning is beneficial, since progress comes from steady effort. Your enthusiasm for both your studies and self-improvement is great to see.

To comment or not to comment

  During our holiday week, we had a task to read a chapter of a book and summarize it. I chose a book called “Code complete ”. As indicated in the title, the book focuses on coding . I t focused precisely on the man y different stag es of coding . The book was quite long, 855 pages, so if you were to read the whole book, you would know all about coding and software development. Of course I did n ’t have the time to read the whole book, but I chose a single chapter that interested me. The chapter was called “to comment or not to comme nt ”. The chapter was presented as a dialogue, where ph ilosophers discusse d whether or n ot code comments are useful.     The arguments against it were that comments make the code harder to read due to the additional text. A good code should also be self-documenting and not require additional explanation . Others argued that comments make the code easier to read, especially if it’s someone else’s code. I totally agree ...

Best piece of advice

During the recent years, I've heard a few pieces of advice that have affected the way I go about my daily life. I’d like to share these thoughts, because someone might find these tips helpful. You’ve all heard the question, what do you want to do with your life? Usually, people answer that they want to get a job that they like and that pays you well, maybe travel the world and enjoy things. These answers are solid, but the question can be taken a step further to give you a different kind of perspective. Image a scenario where you win the lottery. Now you have unlimited money and can do everything you’ve ever dreamed of doing. Now imagine yourself 10 years after you have won the lottery. You have travelled every single place on earth that you ever wanted to visit, you’ve bought your dream cars and houses, you’ve acquired so many unique memories and experienced everything you ever wanted. Imagine there are no more places to travel, no more experiences to experience and no more things...
