me: WE OUTSIDE THIS SUMMER also me:

Just found out a former coworker from my college days passed away due to illness. He was so young and such a kind person. 😔 Life is short, y’all. A tough reminder to not let depression get the best of me—and to keep fighting, just like he did.

Eating while being in class 🧍‍♀️

Ignore the mess 😩 My room is also my office, and I’ve been reorganizing it while enjoying some delicious mango ice cream 🍦 during my Network Fundamentals class. Multitasking at its finest! 😅💻📚

My washer gave out mid-cycle while I was washing my dad’s clothes… have to hand wash what was stuck. 😮‍💨 The water was hot too — my arms are lowkey burning. 😪🔥 #LaundryStruggles

Asked ChatGPT to create an image of Dr Simi ® x El Chavo de Ocho headed to RenderATL 2025 | June 11 - June 13, 2025 because… why not? 😂 Culture, comfort, and conference drip all in one. With his torta ☺️ If you know, you know. #LatinxInTech #TechWithCultura #DrSimiGoesTech #RenderATL ☺️

Me and my Dr Simi ® plushie doing the Network Fundamentals videos 📚—he’s ahead of me like always 😩💀

I miss dancing to songs like: 🕺 El Caballito – Banda El Recodo 🤠 Payaso de Rodeo & No Rompas Más – Caballo Dorado 🦍 El Baile del Gorila – Melody 🐄 La Vaca, Macarena, Cupid Shuffle, Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide These songs raised me tbh 💃🔥

How did I almost forget these! 🎶 Bomba – King Africa 💃 Lambada 🌴 Coco Jamboo – Mr. President 💖 Believe – Cher 🎺 Mambo No. 5 + I Got a Girl – Lou Bega 🕺 Aserejé – Las Ketchup 🔥 Inténtalo – 3BallMTY The unlocked memories are wild 😭💿💃 #ThrowbackVibes

I’m a bit behind on Network Fundamentals bootcamp and trying to catch up before @renderatl 😅 A lot’s been happening—washer broke, roof leaked 💀 Ignore the mess lol. Yes, I still handwrite notes and use a whiteboard to sketch things out. I even use the neighbor analogy 🧠

Asked ChatGPT to make an image of Resilient Coders as a community partner for RenderATL 2025 | June 11 - June 13, 2025 —with a Pokémon twist. It turned out so cute I had to share it! 💖🔥

I asked ChatGPT to create an anime-style image of Leon Noel 🔥 & Danny Thompson podcast based on the reference image I provided—here’s what it came up with! 🎙️🎨 Sorry y’all, this study break really had me thinking 🥲

Let’s see 👀

Finished the first part of my Networking Fundamentals Bootcamp diagram 🧠🔧 Took a while since Lucidchart only gives 60 shapes, but freeform saved the day! I’m a bit behind, but making progress. Also yes—there is SpongeBob in the diagram 😂🧽 #Networking #SpongeBobTech

Today I went to my niece’s graduation 👩‍🎓 I haven’t seen some of my family members in years 😅

Tired but still heading to pick up my badge for RenderATL 2025 | June 11 - June 13, 2025 😅 Gonna come right back and finish my networking HW. My niece’s graduation ran late last night, and now it’s about to rain 🌧️ ngl I’m scared of driving in the rain—not ‘cause of me, but other folks tryna crash into me 😩

On my way, I grabbed some matcha before heading to Atlanta Tech Week | June 8 -13, 2025 ☁️ Met 2 amazing ladies and picked up my RenderATL 2025 | June 11 - June 13, 2025 badge 🎉 I dipped early tho—need rest fr and gotta finish my networking homework 😅📚 #TechWeek #RenderATL

One thing we talked about was how, as minorities, we’ve had such similar workplace experiences—heavy stuff. It’s honestly sad, y’all. Especially with how things are under this administration. 💔 #RealTalk #TechLife

Homework time for my Networking Fundamentals bootcamp ☺️ Just downloaded the latest Cisco Packet Tracer—time to knock out this lab! 💻📡 #Networking #Cisco #BootcampLife

Just finished my Packet Tracer lab 🧠📡 Used SpongeBob analogies to document what I did—mostly for myself, but maybe it helps someone else too 🌊 Hoping it makes the grading cutoff 🤞🏼 Open to feedback—that’s what learning in public is all about 💛📘
