What do you call this Hairstyle? Could I do it with shorter hair?

I want to try a style like the first two pictures but I don’t know what I’d tell my barber. I know it’s not just a mid taper because the hair flares out more in these pics than the gradual angle i’ve had with just a mid taper. Pic of my current hair on the last slide, I want my hair to start a lot higher up in general too. Any thoughts/advice on if this would work or look right?

[0 YoE] Rising Senior, haven't been able to land an internship yet. Is there hope for me to get entry-level positions or Summer 2027 Internships post-graduation? How can I improve in my situation?

https://preview.redd.it/su7gyepvknah1.png?width=5100&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbd7020258f6e24007540e5f5b0684550be3ee41

Rising senior Aerospace Engineering student with a 3.7 GPA. I haven't managed secured an internship yet, but I have research and project experience. However, due to my Spring 2027 graduation and my upcoming capstone project, I'm unable to do fall or spring internships this coming year, or else I have to push back my graduation an entire year.

Ideally, I planned to pursue internships or careers in Huntsville, as that seems to be a giant ideal tech hub for my field, so I've targeted mainly roles there. I've had little to no luck (only 5 interviews since I've been in college in total). I haven't been picky applying to roles either, as I've applied to multiple mechanical, test, systems, and design roles and anywhere where my experience and college classification align with the posting, however I will admit my resume looked much weaker and less ATS-friendly than this previously.

Is there anything I can do to improve this no-internship situation? Am I a moderately viable candidate for entry-level applying or late-stage summer 2027 internships post-graduation, or is there not much hope for me?

Entry-Level Engineering Jobs

I’m a rising Aerospace Engineering senior at Auburn University planning to live and work in Huntsville after graduating with my bachelor’s degree as well as possibly getting a masters at UAH at some point. I’m trying to figure out which companies I should realistically target after graduation for entry level roles paying at least $70k. I’ve been told to start applying for these roles late August.

For context, I have a 3.73 GPA, undergraduate research experience in composites and material testing & analysis, club involvement, and several academic and personal engineering projects, but I do not have internship experience.

For those working in Huntsville aerospace/defense, what companies or specific entry level roles would you recommend targeting? Are there any companies where my background would still make me a competitive realistic candidate despite lacking internship experience?

No Internship , what to do this summer?

I’m a now senior aerospace engineering student at an ABET college with a 3.70 GPA and research/project experience, however I haven’t managed to land an internship throughout my time in college, despite being located in an engineering heavy city (Huntsville, AL). I’ve been constantly applying up to this point but it’s looking bleak and I’ve only ever gotten 3 interviews.

I told myself at some point (June-ish) if I genuinely had nothing then I’d just work retail, or some unrelated part time job. Does anyone have any guidance on what I could/should do over the summer? Whether that be a job or project or some valuable related experience? Is it worth it to get a job or should I dedicate all my time to a possible project? Any help is appreciated.

Need help/job suggestions for a senior engineering student

I'm currently a senior Aerospace Engineering student at Auburn University but I'm from Huntsville. I've applied to countless jobs and internships in the Huntsville-Madison-Decatur area throughout college, but have only managed to get 2-3 interviews ever, despite having relevant research, club, job, and project experience, as well as a good GPA (3.7), so naturally I've been very bummed out. I was wondering if there were any last-minute internship opportunities for this summer, and if not, what would be a good, decent-paying summer job that I could take up for the 10-12 weeks I'll be here?

AITAH for struggling after abrupt intimacy changes and emotional distance?

I (21M) started dating someone (21F) about 6 months ago after we clicked really quickly. Early on, she was the one who introduced a lot of sexual energy and intimacy into the relationship, and it felt healthy, loving, and emotionally connecting for both of us. We later had to go long distance because of school.

A few months in, she told me right before my birthday that she had gotten high in a closet, and that while in the closet she got a “vision from God” telling her to change her life. After that, she abruptly quit vaping, weed, all sexual things between us, piercings, and even stopped her medication cold turkey. I genuinely tried to respect her decisions and adapt because I cared about her and wanted the relationship to work as well as being a Christian myself. She seemed very upset that I wasn’t happier over it and that I was sad about something that “wasn’t such a big deal” and just kept saying that “this wasn’t the reaction she thought would happen” and it was a rough conversation.

The issue wasn’t just “no sex.” Physical intimacy had become one of the main ways I felt emotional closeness from her, especially because she already struggled with verbal affection/reassurance due to trauma and mental health issues. So when intimacy disappeared, I tried communicating that I needed more emotional reassurance and affection to still feel connected and wanted, especially in a long distance relationship.

From my perspective, whenever I brought up possibly filling in the gap left by the lack of physical/sexual intimacy, she’d either get defensive or say she was trying, but I never really felt or saw much change. Over time she felt more emotionally distant, our FaceTime calls became quieter, and I started feeling lonely inside the relationship. Even in person, she stopped things like kissing longer than 5 seconds or physical closeness because “it feels like lust”. What confused me more was that she would still occasionally initiate sexual things herself, but afterward would express intense guilt and say things like “I’m weak” or “we need to do better,” which left me feeling guilty and dirty too. I also noticed that she was much more expressive and verbally affectionate before her decision as well, leaving me missing what things were like before immensely.

I’ll admit I became more visibly anxious and insecure as time went on, but the issue felt deeper than just sex to me. I really did try to respect her choices and make things work. The relationship recently ended a few weeks back after I initiated the breakup idea (I didn’t want to but I didn’t think i had a choice) and I’ve been hung up over it and blaming myself for a lot.

AITA for struggling with this situation and feeling hurt by the sudden change in intimacy and affection?

Senior Year and still no Internship, how cooked am I and what should I do? (Aerospace Engineering)

I’m an Aerospace Engineering student at Auburn University with a 3.7 GPA, undergraduate research experience, and multiple engineering projects, but I still haven’t been able to land an internship despite applying to countless positions, especially around Huntsville. I’ve revised my resume through workshops, networked, and cold-emailed professors for research opportunities, but I’ve only gotten 3 interviews throughout college. At this point I’m feeling pretty defeated and would appreciate advice on what I should do this summer to stay competitive or find any last-minute opportunities.
