Gremlin Blog!

I'm well aware that the chances of anyone actually reading or keeping up with this but me- and possibly not even me- are pretty slim. Nontheless, while I'm proud of my graphics hoards, I wanted to add a little piece that's uniquely my own contribution to the world wide web! I like the idea that with my own blog, I don't have to fight an algorithm just to be seen; if someone is interested in my stuff, they can seek it out. It's fun to have my own corner of the internet that advertising and politics can't touch unless I explicitly put it there myself. I used to think all social media had lots of customization as a kid but, after taking a single coding class in high school, I discovered how you can really customize a website!

I'm still learning HTML, so be patient with any bugs or janky layout bits you might find. I'll have a functioning guestbook soon enough, I hope, but in the meantime, just leave a comment on my site's neocities profile!

I graduated my college class! My certificate arrived today and we framed it and everything! I clawed my way through this course but I'm proud to say that I'm finally a proud owner of a Certificate of Information Assurance and Security from the University of Phoenix online. I honestly thought about quitting several times but I figured, if I quit this time, I'll have anxiety about school things for the rest of my life, and I genuinely don't think I could handle that.

If I finished at least one degree or certificate's-worth of higher education, I don't have to feel guilty about never having finished something after high school.
