Can you believe that the Xbox One and Playstation 4 came out three years ago? It is safe to say we are in the middle of the console gaming generation, with amazing technological upgrades to the Xbox and PlayStation systems over the years. But I believe if you want the best video game experience, Sony's PlayStation 4 reigns supreme. I have played every type of PlayStation console since the late 90's to early 2000's. No other console has given me a better gaming experience than PlayStation. Here are five reason why PlayStation is better than Xbox:

5. PlayStation Vue

Yes, Microsoft's Xbox One offers applications where you can watch sports, movies, television shows. For example Netflix, Hulu, Watch ESPN, etc. But the PlayStation 4 offers a reliable and affordable cable service, that can be downloaded on the console. From Cartoon Network, CBS, TNT and TBS, depending on your subscription, PlayStation Vue offers countless channels you can enjoy. If you are sports fan like myself, it is a definite must have. I only pay $34.99 per month for 80+ plus channels and sport network like ESPN, Fox Sports, NFL Network and NBA TV. It also allows you to record your favorite shows. Pretty awesome right? It's way better than these expensive cable packages these days.

4. The Console is Smaller

Compared to the Xbox One the PlayStation 4 is a heck of a lot smaller. Which is a good thing. It's fits perfecting in my home entertainment setup and easier to travel with if I want to visit my parents house. People may find this size argument to be irrelevant because usually your game system stays on a cabinet or a entertainment set. However, with more and more entertainment devices for the living room, more households are finding it extremely difficult to fit everything in their television cabinet. But the PS4 is small enough where finding space should not be a problem, opposed to the Xbox One, which is pretty bulky.

3. Games, Games and more Games

There is no better reason to get a gaming console other than its games library. Since 2013, PlayStation 4's game library has grown tremendously. Their exclusive games that can't find on Xbox One either. Games like " Ratchet and Clank" and " Street Fighter V" have got nothing but praise and are only available for PS4 systems. You can't go wrong with PS4 games.

2. Built in Controller Headphone-Jack

The DualShock 4 controller comes in with a built in audio jack, which comes in handy for those online gamers out there. This allows gamers to hear all of the system’s sound through the headphones of their choice without having to go out to buy anything extra. You can do the same for Xbox One but you have to buy the equipment that allows this function to work. Personally, I can put in my Beats by Dre headphones in the controller and enjoy a night of peaceful gaming.

1. Cost

While the PS4 cost $399, the Xbox One has a price tag of $499. This substantial price difference will go a long way in attracting gamers who are getting the same specs at a much lower price in the PS4. This in turn will provide a huge boost to the sales of the PS4 at launch as gamers will definitely prefer the cheaper version. Prices always matter and $100 difference cannot be ignored. Sony also offers bundles for the PS4 console. That offers the console, controller and a brand new game that run up to $350. Can't beat that right?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
