Yup. Now if you were a bit further along, and had a larger body of feedback from colleagues and peers suggesting you weren't picking up concepts as expected, then
maybe
.
I don't know your friend, but that's usually the kind of comment made by an extremely insecure person imo.
also tbh some stuff is just going to take time to develop. a lot of people do CS stuff as a hobby and therefore have some familiarity going in.
yeah i havent made it far enough to know if its for me or not
is it weird that CS isn't really a hobby to me? thats why i question if i really want to do it. but i do enjoy coding, and im 30 now, i have to do something at this point, because i dont know what else i would rather do.

I wouldn't take too much stock in what your friend is telling you. You've earned your place at your school, you've done the work and you've earned your grades through your own hard work and diligence. You're not expected to know every little thing right at the get go. You've said it yourself, you're still technically in the middle of your first semester. Don't beat yourself up over the things you don't know because in time you'll learn it anyways. It's normal to learn that you don't know anything at all as you expand your knowledge set.
that was a very fitting link lol. i never know if im being too hard on myself, or what im feeling is actually the reality. thats a shitty situation, you know?
