hi! i'm michelle, rising sophomore studying computer science and chemistry at the university of illinois at urbana champaign!
some things about me: -i'm originally from northern virginia, about 30 mins from dc. i graduated from thomas jefferson high school for science and technology in june of 2022 (you can find some old hs videos if you scroll down far enough ;)). -i started my channel end of senior year to capture fun memories such as prom and graduation, but i've honestly been vlogging on my phone for longer than i can remember
anyways yea hope u guys like the content! i am a rather sporadic poster but im working on it fr! my main content is vlogs but i honestly like to document everything so stay tuned for more content :) love u guys
haha such a valid question, i went mainly because of the CS + Chemistry degree they have here because i'm super interested in both computer science and chem and no other school really has blended majors like that!!!
i would say just try to be really authentic in your essays and try to do STEM related extracurriculars in middle school to give you more things to talk about! also 8th period is really big at TJ so research some 8th period clubs you'd be interested in. hope this helps!
i do research that involves image processing and running lots of code (plus for my cs classes) so i wanted to play it safe. i probably won't upgrade to macbook air m3 since i just got my m2 a few months ago and i upgraded it so it'd last me longer but i'm def curious to see how m3 performs over time in comparison to m2!!
Looking back with the work that you do, would the 16GB have been fine ? Or does your ram activity tend to run to 24GB? And how long do you intend to keep this device for? Thanks
@@cloudyair7395 soo there have been two times where i'm running heavy image processing and i ran out of storage...but to be fair i wasn't keeping track of what i had open and i had A LOT open. so for that reason i'm glad i got 24. i plan on keeping this one for a LONG time (for context i had a 2018 macbook pro with 128 gb storage and 8 gb ram that i used for 4 whole years and i squeezed every last drop out of it) so that's why i'm glad i invested a little more. but to answer your question i do think 16 would have been fine i just feel a bit better with 24.
@@michelleru do you think this macbook would last you more than the 4 years you had with the pro? and why didn't you choose a pro instead of the air? has there been times where either your pro laptop or macbook air get warm? if so, what sort of applications were you running? i want to do either software engineering next semester, or computer, data science on this laptop also thanks for responding😄
I deciding between 16GB or 24. How much difference does it make on your device? And what you you usually run on your computer to use up the 24GB? Thankksss
tbh my dad works in cs (which is what im trying to go to) and he said to upgrade/prioritize ram over ssd since unlike ssd (which u can like use a harddrive) u can't rly do much once ur out...when i had my old macbook w 8 gb ram i would run out DAILY so when i got this one i knew i wanted to play it safe
@@michelleru i'm also into the cs industry and your dad was right about prioritizing ram over ssd, but with how big the jumps are between ram increments (8gb, 16gb, 24gb, etc.) I understand that 8gb wasn't enough but 24gb was probably overkill. But, to be honest as long if you have the money for it, 24gb would definitely keep you worry-free. To any one else possibly reading this, if you're worried about ram, just upgrade to 16gb and you should be a-okay!
More I love it. Go to a pool or a beach and give a thing to a new person love you ❤. I hope you have a great college ❤ miss you from Eirvin and nice watch 😮.love it and I went to LB miss you☹️☹️☹️☹️I hope you have this 🧋🍔🍟🍕🥩🍗
About the notifications during sleep: You can set up a sleep schedule in the clock or health app on iPhone to set an alarm in the morning and not let any notifications through during sleep time. You’ll be surprised how different the watch looks with the new watchOS 10 that most likely will be released in September. I already have it on my Apple Watch and I’ve been loving it. It just makes the watch more beautiful!
You are smart not to share your recordings with Apple. These companies have been caught recording private conversations as well as people having sex, and I'm not kidding. Snowden was not a trader. He was an American hero.
