Q: What are your thoughts about the personal project? What were some challenges you have faced so far? What are you working on?
A: For my personal project I’m making a video game, and one part about it is I get really unmotivated when I’m trying to fix or do something and it just doesn’t work. This causes me to get really unmotivated and turn off the project but when it finally does work I’m really happy.
Q: If you could change one thing from your freshman self, what would it be?
