Hello! It’s a miracle that you’ve found my blog out of over 1 billion websites on the internet, and I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Ellen Sun, I studied at the University of Waterloo (class of 2023) and I have been living in San Francisco for approximately 1 year, working as a Software Engineer at LinkedIn. This year was one of trying new things; it’s been fulfilling yet lonely at times, hectic yet monotonous other times, and lots of fun. I realized that life and work is a marathon not a sprint, and being out of the school system with pre-set goals has given me the chance to reflect deeper on what matters to me and what I want out of life 🤔
I created this blog for the purpose of documenting my thoughts and feelings, and to push myself to grow in various ways. I also hope to practice my writing skills 🌱
Some topics that I may write about (no promises though) include:
- book reviews
- career reflections and software engineering learnings
- my hobbies and travels
- mental health, mindset shifts, and the practice of mindfulness
If you’re interested in these topics please do stick around! Also, check out these other blogs that inspired me:
Have a great day!
