Introduction/Job Search

So for my first real post aside from the introduction, I'd like to explain a bit about my life right now. So I'm a recent graduate from the Stevens Institute of Technology with a bachelor's in Computer Science, and since then I've mostly just been job hunting. Currently, it seems to be rather difficult to even get to the interview phase, as a lot of entry-level positions require professional experience that I am having a lot of difficulty acquiring since there aren't too many positions that are looking for someone just getting started like me. I fully understand this is a competitive job market currently, so I'm trying my best to keep searching and be patient, but with student loans beginning now, it does leave me rather worried. However, I will continue to demonstrate my expertise with projects like this website, as well as branch out a little into new technologies I'm less familiar with so that I may not only increase my odds but perhaps find something new to enjoy as well. (p.s. If you are an employer/hiring manager reading this I implore you to reach out either via email or LinkedIn)

Current Lifestyle

So lately I've mostly been spending my time working on projects and job searching. While I do enjoy the work I do, I at the same time can get exhausted from time to time, especially after spending hours getting a project to work or spending hours submitting applications. I also have a few hobbies I try to keep up with as well, such as music and video editing. While I do feel pretty happy with my life at the moment, I still feel there is plenty of room to improve in terms of work-life balance. Sometimes it feels like I don't have time to cook myself a meal and would rather spend the time working on something, but I hope to sort this all out over time.

I also spend quite a bit of time taking care of my pet guinea pig, Mochi. He's in the room with me as I work so along with the usual care I also like to check up on him while I work on stuff as well, and he brightens up the mood whenever I feel out of it or tired.

Anyways, that's all I have for today. I'm still getting the hang of blogging so I hope this is at least decent so far. Also if there are any features that you'd like me to add to the blog, (I was thinking of possibly adding comments or reactions or something, but then again moderation for that may get out of hand) please feel free to reach out! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog for today, and I hope to post again soon!
