Is this what college is really like?

Transferring to FIT from a community college back home, I made assumptions on what a “real college experience” was like. Move-in day seemed as typical as every opening scene in a college movie. The sad overbearing mom, the unloading of the car, and the excitement I felt at the start…

Do people actually remember that stuff?

I can uncomfortably and self-consciously say that I don’t remember much from my childhood. However, I do remember slowly drawing some parallels between my daily meals and the furry, fluffy Webkinz that I had scattered all around my bed. Was I really eating that?

AI: As biased as the humans who created it.

AI is slowly being integrated into our lives and the overall consensus is positive. This advance in technology promises a more efficient life and a life with equal opportunity and zero biases.
