Any intonation tips?

As the title says, I have some intonation problems, partially because I tense up which I don't know how to relax from, other than that I'm trying to improve my intonation with solfège exercises. I have attached a clip of me singing that should make things clearer. Any advice is welcome!

Feeling lost on terms of career

Hello, I'm a 21F lyric coloratura soprano, and I don't know if I should pursue opera. I love it more than anything, but I feel like I would have known if I was meant to have a career in it by now. My teacher is supportive because she thinks that my tone and sound are interesting and can get quite loud, but I am reluctant to go into massive debt for a masters I might not get into (need to work on intonation, so it would take me a year or two until I'm definitely ready to apply).

​

I feel like if I was meant to do this there would be more signs. Any advice on how to move forward?

Backpack/Messenger bag recommendations

Hello everyone!

Looking for some brand or website recommendations for a new everyday commute bag! Ideally I would like it to be durable and sleek. The bag I want to replace has been through hell with me for just under ten years now, and she's still in decent condition. It was an Eastpak, so I'm wondering if I should just repurchase from the same brand or branch out!

I'd also love some advice on whether it is best to buy a backpack or a messenger bag. I tend to stuff my bags, so I feel like although messenger bags are more stylish they're not the best option due to the weight distribution. Lmk!

Thanks in advance

Tldr; what the title says :)
