Good afternoon, Early Risers!
Here’s what you need to know today
Tech
High stakes amateur photography. We’ve all done it. You’re out for dinner with a group of friends and you ask the waiter to snap your photo. After a tutorial on how to use your iPhone, the waiter snaps your photo, breathes a sigh of relief…Wait, your friends want photos too.

The Information Age in 7,600 volumes. Calling this the worst. summer. job. ever. would be an understatement.

I recommend reading Sarah’s latest article (Elite Daily) where she explains how to break down big tasks easily and why goals are limiting.

By now, you’ve probably heard The Donald announced a run for the republican nomination yesterday at Trump Tower, disclosing, “I’m really rich.” The media’s response was blunt, “Let’s make this very clear from the start: Donald Trump is not a serious candidate for president.” (The Atlantic). To save you time, here’s a reference on who’s running and if they’re legit or not. Also, if you haven’t heard of the man who’s taking Twitter by storm, this story should put a smile on your face 🙂
