Finally told my parents I changed my major from pre-med to psychology. The conversation was hard but they're slowly coming around. It took months. Hold on to yourselves, everyone.

The imposter syndrome in my CS program is no joke. Half my cohort seems to have known how to code since age 8. I'm first-gen and sometimes it feels like everyone got a memo I didn't.

First year of grad school and the pressure is real. My parents sacrificed so much for me to be here but some days I can barely get out of bed. Anyone else navigating this?
