This is my code for the challenge, and it seemed to work for me on the first try (which is saying something, as I am still grasping at certain fundamentals).
const secsPerMin = 60; const minsPerHour = 60; const hoursPerDay = 24; const daysPerWeek = 7; const weeksPerYear = 52;
const secondsPerDay = secsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay;
console.log(There are ${secondsPerDay} seconds in a day.);
const yearsAlive = secsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear * 38;
console.log(I've been alive for more than ${yearsAlive} seconds!)
Did anyone else have any other solutions for this challenge? I'd love to see any alternate ways to get to the same solution.

const yearsAlive = secondsPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear * 38;
