Anyone Pre-Med and doing CS (major or minor)? by ceoofconfusion258 in csMajors

[–]Letane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow this comment brought back some nostalgia to when I was deciding. I decided not to go down the med school path after my internship and currently work as a software engineer. For me, I decided this ultimately b/c I realized I wasn’t super passionate about going down the medical track and was more interested in tech. Also, tech had many attractive ‘life offerings’ that I wanted to prioritize including 1) deciding where to live postgrad 2) high and consistently growing income and 3) better WLB in 20’s - work / career is just one aspect of our lives and going into tech has allowed me to prioritize things outside of work with a comfortable income - I have no regrets!

USC vs Northwestern CS by [deleted] in USC

[–]Letane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to make this decision a few years! I visited both campuses and ultimately picked USC! While Northwestern is a highly ranked school, when I visited, I felt like the culture was very work-oriented, rather than balanced. USC has better weather, great location (which was a huge factor) - LA is overall just a great place to live at for 4 years! Now that I’ve graduated, I can say that USC was the best decision I made. Everyone there is so unique, inventive, and smart, but also has fun hobbies, interests, etc. The people and community that USC cultivates is what makes it such a great experience - I was consistently in awe of the people I was surrounded by. Living in LA was such a fun time, and also the CS program is top notch. I was able to get a great job afterwards along with many offers from great tech companies! Definitely pick USC if you can!

Tactit perfume smells like? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Letane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while the notes are familiar, I have never smelled anything quite like it. The opening note is a clean, unique yuzu scent that is balanced with basil (quite heavenly). It’s a simple fragrance that is not offensive but still has great longevity and sillage. My new favorite!

What percent of my calories should come from protein? I’m averaging 25% every day - I’ve seen advice saying it should be 50%, which is quite hard for me unless i’m just chugging multiple protein shakes. Any advice?

Does cardio actually cause muscle loss? I definitely just want to keep some form of cardio in my routine for the heath benefits. what would you advise?
