Do you guys in college trade your own PA

For those in college right now, are you guys trading your own PA? Like Options, Trump trades, Crypto, individual names etc. None of my other friends are degenerate gamblers, so I am keen to here some input from other prospective market participants

Those working can also respond, but I understand there are heavy compliance issues with trading single names
