The CS Degree Honeymoon Phase

Ah, the classic tale of CS degree expectations vs. reality. That first panel shows the innocent joy of someone who thinks "Hello World" is the hardest thing they'll ever code. Meanwhile, the second panel captures that sinister knowledge that Data Structures is lurking around the corner like a final boss with seventeen health bars.

It's that beautiful moment when you realize you've basically invited your friend to a party where the appetizers are cupcakes but the main course is existential dread served with a side of recursive binary tree traversals.
