I hate computer science
I hate computer science. There, I said it. I know that might sound strange coming from someone who has spent years studying it, but it’s true. I’ve always been good with computers, and I’ve always been fascinated by the way they work. But when it comes to actually studying computer science, I can’t help but feel like I’m banging my head against a wall.
Computer science is a field that is highly valued and respected, with a wide range of job opportunities and high earning potential. So, why would anyone hate computer science? Well, I’m here to tell you that I do. I’ve studied computer science for several years now, and while I’ve always been interested in technology and good with computers, my experience with computer science has been anything but positive.
Some Reasons Why I hate computer science

- There are a few reasons why I hate computer science. For one, it’s incredibly frustrating. No matter how much I study or how hard I try, there always seems to be something new to learn. It’s like trying to climb a never-ending mountain. I’ll reach the top of one peak, only to find another one looming in the distance. It’s exhausting.
- Another reason I hate computer science is that it’s so abstract. I understand that computers are incredibly complex machines, but I feel like the way we study them is so removed from reality. We spend hours upon hours learning about algorithms and data structures, but when it comes to actually creating something with computers, it feels like nothing I’ve learned applies. It’s like trying to build a house with a hammer and a saw, but no nails or screws.
- Finally, I hate computer science because it’s so lonely. I’ve always been a social person, and I thrive in environments where I can collaborate and share ideas with others. But when it comes to computer science, it often feels like I’m working in a vacuum. Sure, I have classmates and professors, but when it comes to actually working on a project or solving a problem, it’s just me and my computer. And my computer doesn’t talk back.
- I know that I sound like a bit of a whiner, but I promise you, I’m not. I’ve tried to push through my frustration and loneliness, but they always seem to creep back in. I’ve been attempting to find joy in computer science, but it always seems to elude me. And so, I’ve come to the conclusion that I hate computer science.
- I know that this might come as a surprise to some of you. After all, computer science is one of the most in-demand fields today. There are countless job opportunities and the pay is usually pretty good. But for me, the potential rewards just aren’t enough to outweigh the frustration and loneliness that I feel every day.
- Now, I know that some of you might be thinking, “well, if you hate computer science so much, why don’t you just change your major?” And to be honest, I’ve considered it. But the thing is, I don’t hate computers. I don’t hate programming. I don’t hate technology. I just hate the way that computer science is taught and the way that it’s been presented to me.
- So, what am I going to do? I’m not entirely sure. But I do know that I’m not going to give up on computer science just yet. I’m going to keep pushing through the frustration and the loneliness because deep down, I know that there’s something there that I love. I just haven’t found it yet.
Conclusion
- In conclusion, I hate computer science, but I don’t hate computers, programming, or technology. It’s just that the way computer science is taught and presented to me is not something that I find interesting or fulfilling. I’m going to keep pushing through it and I hope to find my passion in it.
