Peer pressure is real. You’ve got to learn to set boundaries — especially now.
People will say, “boundaries are for old folks,” but that’s false. The life you’re building today will shape your future and affect the people around you.
Be conscious of who you let close.
Be picky — that’s not ego, that’s self-respect.
If someone’s moving in the opposite direction of who you want to be — especially if they have no ambition — I’ve got nothing but the Gospel for them. That’s it.
And please, don’t befriend people just to avoid being alone. That’s worse than being alone.
If you want solid friends, be the kind of person you’d want to have in your life.

When giving excuses becomes the norm in your head, you'll find an excuse for your incompetence instead of admitting it and trying to improve.
I wish I could tell y’all to hit the gym — but I’m not even going myself (yet).
I need to tho. At this point, it’s not even an option it's a necessity.

Finally watch this movie.
Movie name: Whiplash — I’ll drop it in the comments.
Rant over. Sorry if I yapped too much, just couldn’t leave without saying this.

Be me.
- Got registered for the ETEX hackathon.
- Got the email, joined the meeting, opened the hackathon website.
- Chose "Military and Security" as the problem statement—thought I’d build some cool stuff.
- Quit the hackathon 5 minutes later after realizing it was basically a CTF.
I don’t know who else got fooled like I did. But a hackathon is very different from a CTF, wegen.. A hackathon to a hacker is like a car to a carpenter.
