Congratulations to me!

Yesterday I received my bachelor's degree in cybersecurity.
It's been a long and hard road for me. I've had to leave the university twice and come back to study with the need to recover the difference in my degree program. But yesterday that journey was completed. I didn't get the highest score for my work, but I'm very happy with my "good" score. Hopefully this will open up a good path for me in life (naively)) Maybe in a year I'll apply for a master's degree. But I'm not sure yet. I don't know how life will turn out. I never thought I'd be getting a degree during the war.
About plans - I'm going to take some time off soon (a week or less) to see my parents (we haven't seen each other since the war started). And then - to start painting most intensely. Sorry, because of the war and my studies I've been very distracted here. But I hope that I will get my work back on track quickly.
Since the war, firing my boyfriend and studying have wiped out all my savings, I'll post a Ko-fi link here (a paypal in my boyfriend's name, I have some issues with the bank right now).
You can send any donation and if you want, send me a screenshot and a reference of your character. I'll try to do a simple sketch for you for that

As someone who got my bach’s degree in IT engineering very recently, I understand the struggles you’ve gone through. It was super rough for me too. ;-;
Make sure to get some rest. A lot of rest. You’ll need it. 🤗
Breaking on through despite the hurdles and chaos... Here's hoping things will trend upward from here. ^^
It's great hearing from you again with such positive news!
That error message is typical for Ko-fi accounts that are connected to Ukrainian PayPal accounts. If it is a Ukrainian PayPal account, people should still be able to donate if they have the PayPal email address and log in to PayPal and send money to it (the only option available will be "as a friend", with a limited selection of currencies).
