Marie graduated from software engineering!

In her own words:

“I wrote a blog post about my experience in undergrad studying software engineering and also shared some tips for new engineering students.”




Officially graduating from software engineering in two days 😳👩‍🎓 I loved being an undergrad at @etsmtl more than I ever thought possible. ⠀ ⠀ During my 4 years at #etsmtl, my personality completely changed. ⠀ ⠀ University changed me so much, in ways I probably don’t realize yet. ⠀ ⠀ Even if I'm still shy at times, I don't hesitate to go after what I want. 🙋‍♀️⠀ ⠀ I constantly go out of my comfort zone every time I can.⠀ ⠀ I talked in front of crowds and participated in countless panels. ⠀ ⠀ In a room full of strangers, I don't stay alone in a corner. I go to people and introduce myself. ⠀ ⠀ I go to events alone because nothing will stop me from doing what I want 🙊⠀ ⠀ I learned time management and priorities. An essential skill at uni when juggling a student club, a successful blog/IG/YouTube channel, social life, and studies. ⠀ ⠀ I discovered how hard I can work to reach my goals.⠀ ⠀ I’m proud of me! 😁❤️
