Meet Devonte, a first-year Computer Science student struggling to keep up with the demanding coursework of CS135. With a passion for coding since he was a child, he was excited to dive into university life at Waterloo, but the intense pace and expectations have left him feeling overwhelmed. Despite his attempts to catch up, he often turns to Reddit for both support and a bit of venting, and this comment reflects his frustration with himself and his peers in the competitive environment of his program.
