Even though my coding bootcamp was pretty shitty, I did make friends with the person seated next to me on the first day. We were assigned seats next to each other. We bonded over our thoughts of “we’re adults wtf is up with assigned seats” and “I would never sit at the back of the classroom.”

She really helped me out when I didn’t understand some things in class. I helped her with notes on days when she was absent.

Even though we don’t socialize much after bootcamp, I still consider her a great friend.
