imposter syndrome is SO REAL! i think that ties back in a lot to your first question- all of us out here have imposter syndrome because we don't realize everyone else is working so hard!
Same. I’ve never been comfortable with my math, but I took Precal and did fairly good in freshman year of college. I used to feel like I had good logical skills since I played chess in highschool. When I took calculus 1 I wasn’t really doing the work, I wasn’t studying at all, and then I stopped attending class altogether. At the end of the semester the professor whom saw potential in me gave me another opportunity to complete the course and take the final test which was 70% of the class grade since it was a departmental final. I had over 4 months to prepare for the test and complete the remaining assignments for the course but I didn’t do anything because I thought I suck at math and wouldn’t be able to pass the test. I almost dropped out of college at that point, but I decided to continue and changed my major from computer science to healthcare administration. I graduated last year in may and to this day that is my biggest regret, that I didn’t work hard enough and goofed around, and I didn’t chase after my dreams. Always believe that you can and you will, that’s the biggest lesson I’ve learned from all of this.
Currently a bio major on a pre med track. COVID had me rethinking my career choices this past year and now looking at switching to computer science. This was some really good insight! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! If you’re on the fence about switching and haven’t taken a CS class, I’d highly recommend taking one just to see how you like it 🤗
@@WarmNapkin I switched majors two months ago from mathematics and am really excited. Everybody wants to switch to it though so the competition to get in is getting tighter. My school requires a 3.5 GPA between 6 prereq classes before you can do CS. Thankfully I was raising my GPA for the last 4 years from a 3.0 to a 3.53 so I switched just in time to finally feel like I have my place here. I'm incredibly smart, but with my ADHD and a lack of helpful hints, I starred college with a rocky start.
@@CrispPapa enjoyable? I'm switching from CSE to "multimedia and creative technology" next month. CSE gave me a lot of anxiety attacks ans breathing problem attacks and I don’t have asthma. The thought that it is enjoying to people shocks me. You guys are strong. i was always a straight A student I also got 84% here but it’s just messing with my mental health so I am thinking of changing it in a few days.
oh my goodness. I needed this video for years. I graduated 14 years ago. I have also struggled with imposter syndrome. In recent years I finally started vocalizing that I didn't enjoy coding. I felt like a rather intelligent person until I got into the deep coursework of my computer science degree. I love how honest and open you are about this and it's going to help so many students who are currently in the thick of this difficult degree.
Yes all the same sentiments!! it felt strange to admit that I didn't love coding as much as other cs majors did, but it's so important to recognize that it's completely normal! thank you for watching my videos 🥰
I appreciated this so much. The problem I'm having is knowing where to focus. I am a jack of all trades when it comes to most things I do and I feel so overwhelmed looking at job descriptions that require different skills all relating to computer science. There have been a couple things that I really enjoyed, but they didn't relate to coding as much which makes me question if this was right for me. All I can do is continue practicing in areas that interest me and look for a job that asks for that.
That was soo helpful thank you soo much. And I never knew this syndrome was a thing, but just you talking about it made me fear the major so much more knowing that ive gone through this so much during school and college, feeling like the dumbest one in class. Ill take your advice, and thanks for letting me know im not alone!
i dont think i have ever related more to a video than this one. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL. I always feel so worthless cause programming is so frustrating and i have these friends who are so much more experienced than me. But it is so imp to push forward
Glad you could relate to the video! It’s so crazy because a lot of people feel this way, but we just aren’t aware of it, so it may feel like you’re only person struggling at times. Coding is super frustrating, but you are more than capable of doing it! You got this! 🤗
im most nervous of imposter syndrome going into comp sci. I'm starting out at a community college with literally no computer science experience. I was always good at math and I love the opportunities that comp sci has so I just picked that going into my community college and eventually my transfer journey. I'm a middle eastern woman and I already know how that's gonna set me back on top of my zero experience. I know that college is about learning and growth but I don't know if I'll be able to get those doubts out my head
Things I should have known when entering college - Major in software engineering or some other computing field instead of Chemistry - Computing fields are so accessible and can be practiced anywhere (since I owned a laptop), unlike Chemical equipment - Coding on a regular basis is more enjoyable than I had expected - Optimize code while you can - you will run it over and over and over, so don't leave resource hungry loops or processes in there I've seen your second point a lot more on the job than in my personal apps. It can take over a couple hours to debug an issue, while actually modifying the code to fix the root cause takes maybe three minutes. Then, since my code is running against an app that is still in development, changes to that along the way break some of my tests and it's anyone's guess what gets deprecated and how to discover the refactoring needed.
I really want to go into software engineering at my local university engineering program but I feel like I am too dumb. Looking at coding is intimidating and people make it look impossible.
@@masherieblackmon6074 if you go into software engineering (SE) there might not be as much math, if you have the option of going to CS and SE, pick SE. SE is more hands-on than CS, in SE they teach you more content you’d do at the job rather than all theory like in computer science. Good luck! :)
Thank you so much for sharing your insights into comp sci! I'm starting my degree this September, and your video definitely helped me prepare for what to expect.
Hi am Moses from Nigeria I just subscribe after watching your video, I really don't love maths, but am going for computer science, I think am the only guy on planet earth that build his electronics with little to no maths, pls I will be talking to u always when I have a problem, thanks for ur advise, let me go and be crying 😭😭😭😭
I’m kinda undecided on my major, I’ve thought about optometry but I don’t want to do 8 years of school. My mom and dad are software engineers but it’s never really been my passion, do you think a CS degree is worth it? Like especially with jobs and stuff after graduating, are you able to still enjoy or have free time?
Yes, absolutely! There are so many other career paths besides software engineering with a CS degree. I discuss some of them in my 'Why You Should Major in Computer Science" video, but some of them are product manager, data scientist, and UX/UI designer. A degree in CS opens up so many doors, and if you haven't taken a coding class yet, I'd recommend taking one just to see how you like it!
Thanks for stressing the point on the possibility of anyone having the possibility of falling into imposture syndrome, a very seemingly common thing you shd be aware of so that you can take precautions and look out for yourself.
Yes! I had never heard of it until college and once it was described to me, it made me feel better knowing that I wasn’t the only one feeling the same thing 🤗
I can relate to this. I expepriced imposter syndrome while in school. I was going for Architecture on a full ride academic scholarship but felt some type away around my peers. I went to a PWI...
I want to major in CS, but I’m very scared, that I would fail, since the breaking quote in Germany is 46%. 😭But I want to work to improve our lifes with coding.
@@adebs I am a electrical engineering junior year student with a 2.4 cumulative GPA and 3.0 electrical engineering GPA. I've been thinking of switching to cs major. How wold this GPA effect me and should I transfer?
I'm about to enroll in a CIS program. I wanted to know studying tips and useful tools to help me get better at coding and what I should expect to study. I really appreciate your help. I'm trying to be more confident and believe I can do this
CIS is defferent from CS. CIS or IT program they foucus on Network and cybersecurity administraion such as Cisco networking, windows/linux server best tools to learn these courses are Cisco packet tracer and VM workstation also CIS student they take application programming classes such as Html/CSS, java script, SQL and OOP with python or C#. If your are a beginner I highly recommend to start with basics of Computer networking, clouds and hardware/operating systems. If you wanna start with programming I recommand to start with basic python and SQL using Microsoft Visual Studio Code editor.
Hi first of all great video, i’m a freshman in my second semester of computer science and i’m kind of struggling, i definitely feel the imposter syndrome and i want to practice more but i’m not sure where to look. I’ve only learned a bit of java so far and i was going thru leet code and couldn’t really find anything for java. do u have any recommendations?
Hey! I would definitely recommend talking to your professor or TA for extra guidance on how to learn Java better. They would have more information on what you are struggling with and could probably either give you extra practice work or suggest specific websites.
when you say it’s a lot of math did you have to take a lot of math/stats prereqs? i’m ok with doing math in comp sci but 1st year uni math courses almost killed me 😅
Yes, it depends on your concentration though! I had to take calc 1-3, linear algebra, discrete math, statistics, and combinatorics! Then because I had an AI concentration, I had to take upper level math courses related to that! Outside of your CS courses, you’ll probably be taking math courses most. I had trouble with one of my math classes freshman year, so don’t worry too much about it 🤗
I'm here to talk, and give information and not waste your time! Love it, great video! I would get a better mic for a better audio, but I love that you didn't take 10 years, to get into the topic, and tell me about how you met with the queen! I do not care, I want to the bread and butter, and you did just that! So great work!
I have never done anything computer related in my life but I’m thinking abt studying computer science at university. Will I require any past experience?
My cousin Sydney is a Freshman at Providence College to play Lacrosse and major in Computer Science she loves it there and the best part is she was in a different state then me so we couldn’t fight like usual
Great video! Thanks for the info. My son is considering the major. There is no reason to have imposter syndrome if you put in the work.... you sound like an intelligent young lady. Best of luck to you!
Hi. Your video was quite informative! My son is studying CS this fall, specifically cybersecurity which falls under CS. He is really good at math. He has no coding experience. Will he have coding classes? Thanks!
I would definitely say computer science! CS would give you more background in coding than IT would, as IT is usually a combination of business and technology 🤗
I’ve never coded in my life and know a little bit about how to use a computer thanks to distance learning this year, I graduate in like 5 months from high school, do you need to know about coding and computers in order to enter the program, so like in conclusion are computer science majors coders before they even enter the program or is it to possible to learn from like the very beginning and actually succeed in this major?
Hey thank you so much for this video! May i know if computer science and IT is the same? I am a science student(highschool) currently thinking of going into this field but i feel lost.Can i have some help as a starter?Do you think the maths will burn me out (i only know the basic calculus)?
Okay so, I'm a senior highschool student and well obviously i was figuring out which career to study at college. CS really called my attention but i I'm still unsure, if you know any careers related to it and you could just tell me a bit about so then i can have more options to really choose what i want i would be so grateful
With the first option, you could become a Software engineer, Product or Program Manager, Business analyst, Data Scientist (with a higher degree), Dats analyst…the list goes on! As for the second option, I don’t know too much about security, but the options would be relatively similar, just with more of a security/networking focus. With the second one, you may have the potential to be more IT focused (business + technology)
“I know nothing about computers or CS!” “I’m going to major in CS!” Why do people do things they aren’t passionate about. As they say, find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. I guess finances are more important than your mental health though.
Can I go to college for a bachelors degree with the Computer Science degree and still make quite a bit of money with the degree or do I have to go to college for more than 4 yeara for that.
Nope, you really just need a bachelors degree for most careers! Some roles like a data scientist or user researcher might require a higher degree, but for SWE, you would just need a bachelors!
You’re so pretty! I just discovered your youtube channel, and I’m a new subscriber! I’d love it if we could support each other and be youtube friends 💞💞

Okay so, I'm a senior highschool student and well obviously i was figuring out which career to study at college. CS really called my attention but i I'm still unsure, if you know any careers related to it and you could just tell me a bit about so then i can have more options to really choose what i want i would be so grateful
Btw, my two options rn, by rank are 1.Computer science technology - programming
2.Computer science technology - Network and Security management.
With the first option, you could become a Software engineer, Product or Program Manager, Business analyst, Data Scientist (with a higher degree), Dats analyst…the list goes on! As for the second option, I don’t know too much about security, but the options would be relatively similar, just with more of a security/networking focus.

Why do people do things they aren’t passionate about. As they say, find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. I guess finances are more important than your mental health though.
Can I go to college for a bachelors degree with the Computer Science degree and still make quite a bit of money with the degree or do I have to go to college for more than 4 yeara for that.
Nope, you really just need a bachelors degree for most careers! Some roles like a data scientist or user researcher might require a higher degree, but for SWE, you would just need a bachelors!
Hi .. For UK universities, is Triple Science compulsory subject if you r majoring in CS?
What laptops do u recommend
What do you reccommend and why?
Computer Science or Software engineering?
My major is finance, I want to take a minor in CS but I'm not sure if I could do it.
I would definitely recommend taking a CS course and seeing how you like it!
I just switched from Finance to CS. Going all in
@@Derbb How was the transition into CS
@@Derbb please how did you like it?
Congratulations on graduating!
This is sooo accurate😭😭literally 70% maths/applied maths and 30% cs, lol...The frustration??The imposter syndrome??absolutely hectic🚮
if you are ok in math is it still possible to pursue computer science
@@______yawn6419 what do you mean “okay”?😂
@@tshiamomadikgetla931 like you usually get Bs or Cs
@@______yawn6419 ohh yea, that’s perfectly fine
thanks im really on the fence about doing this
I suck at math. Should I switch my major I start college in a month .. now I’m rethinking
No! Definitely give your intro CS and math class a try this semester & see how you like it 🤗
Update??? Is there a lot of math or😭
Can I do a computer science diploma and not a degree and will I still be able to make money without a degree?
Hmmmm I’m actually not too sure! Most jobs I’ve seen want a degree, but I’m sure there are jobs out there that are fine with just a diploma
How much coding do I need to know before starting a cs major
Hey! I’m currently a freshman student taking Computer Science. May I ask for any laptop brand recommendations to use? 🥺 This is a big help for me.
I just posted a video called “Freshman Guide to Computer Science” and gave a few laptop recommendations in the video! 🤗
@@adebs oh, I’m going to check it out now. Thank you so much! ♥️🥰
loved this :)=)
🤗🤗
I like math and enjoyed my stat class, but how much math is done on the job?
Honestly not that much, unless you go into data science!
Quick question; did they teach you guys the basics? Like can I study that major with little or no prior knowledge?
Yes! Lots of people come into the major without any prior knowledge of CS!!
If I want to go the hardware route in CS, will I be fine without coding experience?
Yes! You will mainly learn how to do lower level programming if you choose to major in computer engineering!
How did you pass precalcus
do you have to take chemistry and physics classes/modules?
I had to take one semester of physics, but I didn’t need to take chem!
do i need to study physics do get better job opportunities, im more interested in software engineering and coding
Nope! I only took 1 physics class, and I didn’t really apply the knowledge I learned from that class in too man other clasess
How many years did it take to finish majoring in CS?
4 years!
Thank you for responding, also, I heard that they make ALOT of money. Is that true?
Girl, I go to Georgia Tech 🐝😁
Woooo THWG!! 🐝🐝
Was covid 🙏☺️
Gg
Do i have to be passionate about it?
Not passionate necessarily, but you do you have to at least somewhat enjoy it because it’s even more difficult if you don’t!
@@adebs good to know been eyeing CS major i dropped out because i didnt just want to get a useless degree
9:11 😂
You’re so pretty! I just discovered your youtube channel, and I’m a new subscriber! I’d love it if we could support each other and be youtube friends 💞💞
Thank you! 🥰 will def check out your channel 🤗
1 thing I wish I knew before doing RUclips videos: Add a static noise filter so viewers don't get annoyed 0.1 seconds into the video
thanks for the feedback, it’s one of my older videos when i had just gotten my new camera
Why you are so beautiful 🌹
How much math is it?
Depends on what your concentration is, but I would say at least a third of your courses will be math courses!
@@adebs Can you do a video talking about the pre-calculus topics that you need to know to do well in math courses in software engineering/computer science?
1. Discrete math
2. Calculus 1-2( sometimes 3)
3. Probability & Statistics
4. Linear Algebra
@@stevens7622 How important is pre-calculus for these courses?
@@user-qy6tu9ip9v honestly precalc is not important at all tbh. You won't use much of precalc for calc 1 at least
Suggestion…. Move the camera up I could see your brain 🧠 lol
hahaha
