Struggling in the beginning with the Full Stack Javascript techdegree

So I just started the FSJS techdegree a week ago, and I'm struggling with a few basic concepts. I noticed it first when I was struggling with the object challenges at the ent of the lesson. I have a hard time figuring out where and when I should use a variable, or having near the exact code I need to complete a question, but I'm off by a word or two. It's like I almost have it, but I'm missing an important key word or not adding a variable somewhere. I know its just the first week and I shouldn't feel like an expert yet, but these small mess ups are really getting my confidence down because I feel like I should know a good handful of what was covered at this point.

If you would like help with a specific issue, show your code here and provide a link to the course page you are working with. There are plenty other students who are happy to help.

Welcome to coding! You're going to find that you always feel like you have no idea what's happening in the code, it's apart of the job. Posting your question on Reddit, Googling YouTube videos, Stack Overflow, or even here are good ways to get help or answers on specific questions you have.

Good luck!
