An honest reality check: developer ambition vs. university exam schedules. 😅
With my first exam coming up on June 3rd, I had to accept that I couldn't cross everything off my chaotic pre-exam checklist. Turns out, timeboxing is real.
But I’m still walking away with some solid wins before I completely pivot to the syllabus:
🚀 What got done:
Next.js Backend: Pushed through the Udemy series and completed everything up to the backend architecture and API routes. The full-stack foundation is feeling incredibly solid now.
Bugs Squashed: Finally jumped into the code and resolved those nagging bugs in my BookMyShow clone. The app is running smoothly, and there’s no better feeling than a clean console.
The Redis playlist and mobile dev assignments will have to take a backseat for a quick minute. It's officially time to pause the compiler, close VS Code, and open the textbooks for the next few days.
To anyone else currently trying to balance building projects with passing finals—priorities are tough, but we've got this. See you on the other side of exam season! 📚✍️
