I’ve been going hard on studying to be a data analyst. To be honest, I still don’t really know what I’m doing but I feel like as long as I’m doing something, then I’m actually doing something. Because I usually think about doing a lot of things but don’t end up doing anything because I’m too busy thinking about what could go wrong and maybe I’m not good enough to do it. I’ve been trying to just do things instead of overthinking it to death. The more I learn about data, the more I like it. I know the basics of coding in python and SQL but I haven’t had enough practice to be good at it. I’ve been trying to answer coding questions that they might ask at the interviews but it is hard as fuck. Like I spent a week trying to answer 1 question that should take only take 30 minutes. Maybe I’m too hard on myself but I was really frustrated at myself when I couldn’t figure it out. I felt like I spent so much time learning to code and still don’t know shit. I got over it and decided to pretend like I do know what I’m doing and keep trying because I don’t really got shit else to do. It’s never a straight shot to a destination right? There’s usually a few hiccups along the way; it’s what makes the journey worthwhile. Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up.
