Consider studying a musical instrument. Music (as well as Mathematics and Language) has been proven to stimulate brain growth. Which probably couldn't be construed as a bad thing.

Do it! I took piano as an elective in college and loved it. I had taken lessons when I was a kid and was surprised at how much I retained after going years without playing much. Playing an instrument is a fantastic hobby and a great creative outlet. If you've got the opportunity to take lessons, you absolutely should.

I've thought about it, would be a great hobby to have, but I'm not sure I have the time or money just now, maybe in the future

I know this is true, but for the sake of everyone around me, I'm going to have to pass. I tried for years when I was younger to learn guitar and piano. I just don't have a musical bone in my body.

Depends on which type of music suits you, I'm super hype when listening to K-pop and drafting some presentation slides at the same time

Yes! That is a great hobby to get into!

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I finished up with final interviews on Monday. Is it a bad sign that I’m still waiting to hear back today? Don’t companies typically reach out almost immediately with an offer if they choose you?

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it.

So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
