After my first technical interview, my dad gifted me a five year old juniper bonsai that he bought off Amazon. I wasn’t expecting a congratulatory gift and a bonsai wasn’t anything that I had asked for before, so I was quite surprised. I’m not gonna lie, it did stress me out a little bit to have to take care of a living thing. To give you an idea of how much I don’t trust myself with plants, my friend Julia bought me a DIY daisy months ago that I still haven’t planted it, because once I do, I’ll probably kill it. The idea of taking care of a daisy also stresses me out because daisies seem so delicate.
