Esp 01 void setup not working

[peiwastaken]

hi, first time using an esp board here, specifically the esp 01

here it seems that Serial.println() works in void loop() but not in void setup()

#include <HttpClient.h>
#include <WiFi.h>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
    Serial.begin(9600);

    Serial.println("connecting");
    Serial.println("connected succesfully!");
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Serial.println("test");
  delay(1000);
}

as you can see it prints out "test" every 1 second. but the first lines didnt print out "connecting" and "connected successfully!", instead its just gibberish

add delay(500) after Serial.begin

ive tried that and still nothing, i read somewhere that esp 01 always sends gibberish in the serial monitor when its booted, i dont exactly remember why though
