I'm sure you have seen the commercials announcing Amazon.com's new product named "Alexa." I'm sure you have already bought the product as well, and that it's lying in your house. If you have not, these few commercials explain why you should! The fact is that since it was announced by Amazon.com, everybody now wants this great, cheap product! She's a personal assistant! All you do is talk to her! So without further ado... here ...

So, they sell these huge ones, but Amazon also released a similar commercial that has echo's that are thinner and smaller! The technology on this is just AMAZING!

Meet Echo Dot!

So, it's just this adorable little thing! It's cheaper so everybody can afford one! She is a personal assistant who can LITERALLY change the thermostat in your apartment and can LITERALLY shut off the lights for you! How incredible!

So now that we have seen these... let's see some honest reviews!

So, you don't need an Echo to have an Echo dot! That's pretty cool! And you can get them in black or white. Also, Best Buy has it. Again, really cool! This is something that this guy above mentioned. Apparently, one is better than the other, but that's with all products!

Now, I have heard personally that this product is only available in the US and the UK. Not cool for people living in other countries! You can read more about that though at this link- https://www.cnet.com/news/amazon-alexa-smart-home-... which inspired me to write this article!

Ultimately, it is your choice whether or not to buy this product. Tell me what you think below! It's nice to know everyone in the US and UK can have a personal assistant. Perhaps Alexa will take over the world? Happy reading!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
