Parse simple dates

pandas does not infer that columns contain datetime data; it interprets them as object or string data unless told otherwise. Correctly modeling datetimes is easy when they are in a standard format -- we can use the parse_dates argument to tell read_excel() to read columns as datetime data.

The New Developer Survey responses contain some columns with easy-to-parse timestamps. In this exercise, you'll make sure they're the right data type.

pandas has been loaded as pd.
