I'm 25 years old and my parents still pay my bills and rent, which is a big help as I'm in grad school. My parents cover my bills because I'm still in schoolI graduated from Chapman University with a bachelor of arts in psychology in 2023. AdvertisementMy parents still pay most of my bills because I'm a student. One of the main reasons I had to move out of my parent's house was that I didn't want to commute from Los Angeles to Orange County daily during undergrad. I also can't wait to be able to help my parents retire early because they've worked so hard and long.

I was accepted into Duke, Columbia, and Yale, so I had to choose which one was right for me. Serious deliberation removed Columbia; it took a coin flip and following my gut to make up my mind. Being from a somewhat well-off family, I received substantial aid from Yale, Duke, and Columbia, but none offered me a full ride. Trust me, the coin flip worksI know it sounds stupid, but a coin flip is the best method for figuring out what school to go with if you've done everything you could but can't decide. You shouldn't follow through on what the coin flip says, but you should act like you will.

The company Bhargava claimed to be taking over was so poorly run that he questioned the intelligence of those in the meeting.

Because of my less-than-stellar college experience, I wasn’t expecting much from graduate school, which I attended about five years after receiving my Bachelor’s degree. But I found that graduate school was incredibly fulfilling. My graduate school program also allowed me to teach a college course to undergraduate students. AdvertisementWhile college had me burning the candle at both ends, graduate school allowed me to be more intentional with my time. Graduate school ended up being better than I could have imagined because of various unexpected pluses, and I’ll always think fondly of that period.

But never had one come this early — one year and eight months ahead of said internship’s start date. While it has always been competitive, the investment banking summer internship process has gotten increasingly premature. As a result, wannabe financiers may want to start getting ready for the process as early as their freshman year. The Internship movieNetwork with upperclassmen firstNetworking is one of the most important aspects of getting a competitive investment banking internship. “A lot of kids don't realize they don't want to do it until they’ve done it for 10 weeks after the internship,” Sibley said.

Twenty years after its launch, social media giant Facebook continues to show unprecedented staying power after burying early competitors like MySpace and Friendster and establishing a distinct foothold in the burgeoning social media landscape. Daniel Acker/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesStrong social connection was the linchpin of Facebook, differentiating it from other primordial social media sites. MySpace’s monthly active users had trickled down to an estimated 35 million in mid-2011, according to a Comscore report at the time. In contrast, by September of that year, Facebook was seeing almost 800 million monthly active users. In April 2012, the company acquired photo-centric social media platform Instagram for about $1 billion.

As an undergrad serving on Berkeley's student government, Robinson grew passionate about building more affordable student housing in the notoriously expensive city. Meanwhile, the university is facing a severe student housing shortage amid a broader affordability crisis. But Robinson's advocacy for housing in People's Park was met with a wave of harassment from residents who wanted to keep the park as is.

The study relied on AI's discovery of similarities between different fingers belonging to the same person to argue that each fingerprint is, in fact, not totally unique. Some of the pairs came from two different fingers belonging to the same person, while other pairs were two different people's fingers. The AI system discovered that fingerprints from different fingers belonging to the same person were incredibly similar. Researchers honed in on the angles and curvatures at the center of the fingerprint to find these similarities, Guo told CNN. "I think this study is just the first domino in a huge sequence of these things," Guo told CNN.
