The timezone by default on the server is UTC.
If you want to make it so that your shell prints out dates in localtime for you, run `tzselect`
to find the correct timezone name that you'll need to export as the `TZ` environment variable.
for example, if you're in eastern time, add something like this
`export TZ="America/Detroit"`
to your `.bashrc`
