Apple Is SO Cocky

Cockiest organization on the planet earth.

So Apple released the iPhone 7 specs today, and it looks like it's going to be another amazing phone, which isn't surprising. We've come to expect nothing less than perfection from Apple. However, they did make one change that made me absolutely furious.

Apple took away the headphone jack.

I know this was a rumor for a long time leading up to this release, but I am so disappointed that it actually went through. Don't get me wrong, I love Apple, I will always buy Apple, but this is just such a drastic thing Apple has done. Honestly, it might be the cockiest move I have ever seen from an organization.

Up until now, every smart phone has had the same headphone jack. That 3.5mm input where you listen to all your music. That has been a constant and, like I said, everyone uses it, for either headphones, aux cords or the like. Now Apple has gotten rid of this constant. They have made the iPhone 7 thinner, lighter, faster, and stronger. These are all great things, but they got rid of our constant and through it all in our faces.

What is going to happen to aux cords and wired headphones? Well, they're going to go extinct. Probably within the next 5 year everything will be wireless. This is where the cockiness of this move comes into play. Apple is SO sure that people will still buy their products that they decided to do one of the most unpopular moves ever. Were they worried that this might tank their market value? Not at all. Are they worried they won't sell as many phones? Not at all. Apple still thinks that they will be the king of the phone game, and they are right.

Honestly though, like I'm still going to buy the iPhone. I'm going to be so mad when I lose those crappy little headphones, and have to spend boatloads of money making sure I have all the bluetooth gear I need in order to always be able to play music, but I will still buy Apple. It's incredible. Apple did the same thing when they switched the lightning cables a couple years back. Everyone was so mad that they had to go and switch all their gear, but it stopped no one from buying Apple. That was a test run for Apple, they saw it succeed, and now they're pulling the real deal on us. One of the cockiest moves I have ever seen by a company, and I love every second of it. So much respect and hate for Apple.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
