People in America are so obsessed with staying home that they miss out on so much in life, it’s okay to not spend hundreds on a dinner but don’t constantly miss out on an occasional coffee or quick simple meal with friends and loved ones. Relationships are very important but it doesn’t mean your life has to be void of every thing.

[@leslymejia99]

But life is so expensive in america

[@kayflip2233]

I like that you have the discipline to keep everything clean and sleek. Makes you more organized and productive.

[@360life_interiordesigntopi3]

Congrats for being real and that you don't pose in something fake and/ ot ideal - don't change that! 🤜🤛

[@JulianSteve]

As a New Yorker from The Bronx, I have to be very cautious how much I spend in the city. It all depends on the week, going in person to work, and how much I go outside to be honest. Thank you for being transparent. You do spend a reasonable amount. It’s still a lot, but welcome to NYC, especially in the tourist areas🥲!

[@chicks2516]

We even shop at the same target 😂 I’m not sure if you’ve done a neighborhood tour so I’ll keep the area to myself. If you have though, I’m always looking for new places to check out!

For sushi 🍱 that is expensive but typical. In Atlanta, you get two more pieces for 17.00 🤷🏽‍♀️. First thing I thought was “why is sushi so expensive? there’s nothing expensive in it.” 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hey youtube subscriber here. I was just wondering if you could give me tips or pointers going into tech I am 18 years old, in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I will be starting university in September studying computer science. Do you have any tips in general for that specific first 1-2 years while studying that area? Also down the line I want to transition into cyber security. My main goals are to get really good in that cyber area, and to earn lots and lots of money. Would you have any tips for me so I can get ahead of the field, or achieve these goals the early as possible. Many thanks, aaron

[@samross8060]

I’m just coming to the end of my cs degree in the UK and finishing the top of my course. If I could do one thing different, I’d apply for a summer internship for the summer between year 1 and 2. The FAANG internships open around 12 months before you’d be due to start, i.e. if you wanted to apply for one for summer 2024, you’d have to apply this summer. Other than that, master your main procedural programming and object oriented programming modules in first year and that will set you up well. Bonus: if you have a placement year, apply for a company you’d like to work at as a graduate because they’ll probably give you a grad offer. You got this mate 👊

The branded KZbin we want. Although I never know what to say about the social infrastructure for African American s in stem and pathways that are sustainable for them throughout their lifespan. Like I had to look and it seems like not enough. Like from my limited understanding of web2 and web3 like in the med space where are the doctors, pharmacist, conglomerates for black Americans. I found i believe jasmine green md or phd. And that took years. And also dr. Dorothy e. Roberts. But even as i navigate mental health space it’s difficult to find mental health professional s who are African American.
