This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Retro’ing and Debugging 2024.

New year — a new chapter, new verse, or just the same old story? Ultimately we write it. The choice is ours.
— Alex Morritt

2O24 has been the great year for me, as I stepped into college to pursue my bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering. Missing those school days a lot 🫠. Anyway, I got to learn and experience many futuristic things. Yes!!
