How College Students Really Afford Rent And Groceries Now

Many college students say that rent and basic food costs feel harder to manage than any other part of school. It's not unusual for students to work, budget, and still feel short at the end of the month. This leaves a lot of them unsure of how to cover the gap without taking on too much stress.

Food businesses rely on cold rooms and process chillers to keep products safe from farm to fork. When cooling systems fail or behave unpredictably, the result can be spoilage, recalls, or subtle quality drift that emerges only when products reach consumers.

Peking University, January 2, 2026: A coordinated observation campaign using space- and ground-based telescopes has yielded the first precise mass measurement of a rogue planet, confirming that one long-standing candidate is indeed a planet. Unlike planets in the Solar System, rogue planets travel through space without orbiting a host star.

A team using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has identified a new type of astronomical object, a starless gas-rich dark-matter cloud considered a relic of early galaxy formation and nicknamed "Cloud-9." The object is the first confirmed example of a Reionization-Limited H I Cloud, or RELHIC, a neutral hydrogen cloud from the early universe that never formed stars.

The sun rotates about once every 28 days, so active regions on its surface are usually visible from Earth for only around two weeks before they move out of view behind the limb.
