Post-grad life – June 2025 Edition vol. 2

Happy Juneteenth! It’s been 2 weeks-ish since my last post-grad blog.

What’s happened since then?

Learning

I finally obtained my course completion certification for the AWS Cloud Architecture course!!

I’m watching a lot of Personal Finance videos as I become a full-time employee very soon (D-25)! Biggest takeaways so far:

  • Compound interest is gonna be my best friend
  • Do the 401k match + Roth IRA

Staying up to date on current events…

Side Hustles

  1. Amazon Affiliate is still on pause… Reading books are still happening, just trying to prioritize the merch 🙂
  2. With trading simulator, I have decided that options and day trading are not for me. They seem to require a lot of knowledge on the economy, industry, specific companies and trying to do options are too risky for my personal investment profile.
  3. Merch! I received my sample order and have had to adjust the type of shirts/sweatshirts I’ll be selling, but I’ll be recording some videos to showcase my merch with some fun dance videos so look forward to them!!
