3. Ideas and things to think about.

1. You failing in codestates will also be a good lesson. In life, everyone fails in something and this time codestates is a potential success or failure to you. That is all into God. Remember that in the olympics, people strive hard for 4 years to achieve at least 'something' which is usually a medal. However, only three people or teams get the chance to succeed in that. You failing in codestates will be a failure to you but remember that even athletes try again for 4 years to get a medal again on the next olympics. A failure is always a new start and new chance to try something new. If you fail in codestates, you can go for another trial, try google data analytics certificate alongside your university studies, or you can try new paths you want to go for. You're final goal is to become a Doctor of Philosophy in some certain criteria. For now, its PhD in Data Science. So don't put codestates as if it is a life sentence. Just enjoy the ride and try to finish the daily requirements they require you to do so. Additional work is good but not a must. Your mental health really matters.
