While I should be studying for my semesters, I was building this instead.

Surprises
This journey came with more than a few unexpected surprises. But what are surprises, if not learning lessons? Here are some of the things I encountered — and what I learnt along the way:
Learning Never Stops
You don’t learn, then start. You start, and then learn.
I thought this would be a quick and easy project. Setting things up seemed like the hardest part. But once that was done, new problems kept popping up.
For example — after publishing the site, I couldn’t get the tags to work. Turns out, it was because of how the pages were being redirected. That was just one of many rabbit holes I didn’t expect to fall into.
Journal Everything
You learn more about yourself when you journal.
Sounds cliché and… ugh — but when I started recalling and writing about past experiences, it helped me see the moments that really mattered to me and stood out.
It also showed me how much I’ve grown.
Moral of the story: document everything.
