Added a small if statement to check if the user has typed in a valid @ucla.edu email address. If not, it delivers an error message telling them to use their @ucla.edu email.
Implimented timestamps, which were already stored in the messages object. Each timestamp looks at the timestamp above it and only displays itself if there has been at least a 5 minute gap in-between messages.
Added some comments to help better explain the functionality of the timestamps within the code.

Full implementation of timestamps in the chat. Each timestamp is added during the cell generation process of each chat cell. The timestamp info is grabbed from the already existing information and is applied as gray text next to the chat bubbles. The function decideToDisplayTimestamp() then decides whether to display the timestamp depending on whether the previous message in the chat has a timestamp at least 300 seconds prior (Thus meaning that a timestamp is not displayed for every single message but only messages after a period of no interaction)
