A typical day for me begins with two hours of classes, followed by breakfast. I then dedicate my time to working on research projects and assignments until lunch. This involves reading recommended research papers, programming, and data analysis. Afterward, I have another two-hour class session. Additionally, I am actively involved in several leadership positions at UC San Diego, such as computer science and engineering undergraduate advising representative, Triton Quantitative Trading President, and Computer Science and Engineering Society Vice President, where I plan and host events. I conclude my day with some light entertainment.
