Project Townhouse: 1st Time Buyers
Hey I've got some advice/critique.

Both the window sill (ya got) and header (ya don't got) should have their own supports, and then outside of that, the studs go to the ceiling.  It looks like it may not be a supporting wall, but you still want those to be strong.  You also want vertically-oriented wood on the headers (two 2x's with plywood between them).

They have all sorts of names like cripple studs and king studs and stuff I don't know, but I know they're important.

It's also super convenient to have your studs spaced evenly (like 16") so you know where to nail your sheetrock to. Yours seem a little inconsistent.  Overlapping those top plates wouldn't be a bad idea either, to tie it all together instead of butting it.

Edit: if your flipper buddy didn’t know they made stud-length 2x4’s, reconsider. Not trying to be a dick but you learn that after one project.

Like so:
