#cs studyblr

hi studyblr!

my name's yara (she/her), im 19, and im a second year computer science student from the US.

i've been a lurker on here for years at this point, but since i've largely quit all other social media ive been craving engagement from this app. so im hoping to get to posting my own content on here and engaging a bit more with the studyblr community!

some of my hobbies and interests:

listening to music - i am huge alt/indie music fan. some of my fav artists are paramore, björk, charli xcx, and phoebe bridgers, but im always keeping up with current releases and looking for new stuff

reading

journaling

visual art - ive been experimenting with digital art lately, but my heart lies with traditional mediums tbh

currently studying Japanese in college, so expect some japanese study content!

i do a lot of tutoring work on the side, and i especially like to work with underprivileged kids - educational inequality is an issue very close to my heart

currently im on winter break, so im studying in preparation for the next semester. it's not something i normally do, but i want to take a course on AI next semester so im taking an udemy course on object oriented programming which will (hopefully) prepare me for that. and i need to keep up with my japanese as well.
