Everything You Need To Know About iOS 10
Apple

This past week, Apple revealed the beta form of the upcoming iOS 10 software during their annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco. This latest update is full of redesigns and ways to make iPhone and iPad use all the easier. Of course, the milestone software number lives up to its potential, with all the new features all available for free download.

So far, iOS 10 comes with over 20 new features, which includes one to [finally] remove those pesky, unused apps from your home screen. Apple Software Chief Craig Federighi has confirmed that you can only remove the apps from your home screen -- not your phone. It will only remove the icon, user data and all other things related to the removed app. However, it's not really a big deal as the total amount of space combined (Stocks, Newsstand, iBooks, etc.) only equates to about 150 megabytes (MB). Meaning that if you accidentally remove an app from your home screen, you can retrieve it by going to the App Store and tap the Get button to restore it.

As far as new features are concerned, iOS 10 will now give you the ability to type in two different languages without having to switch keyboards. In addition, you will also be able to use Siri in other third-party apps like transportation app Lyft. Apple Maps has also improved greatly as you will also have the leisure of making reservations to restaurants via the OpenTable app as well as making car reservations using Uber. Apple also plans to roll-out an iMessage app store where you can access your favorite iMessage apps to share content, make payments and more all while staying in iMessage. Plus, Apple Pay will now be available for web use, making shopping all the easier. The home and lock screen will also see their first significant revamp in almost ten years, including the removal of the ‘slide to unlock’ feature which will be replaced by a ‘press home to open’ button.

So far, iOS 10 is only available for developers and won’t be in beta for the general public until July. The software is slated for a Fall release, and will only be available for the iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later and the 6th generation of the iPod touch. The question still remains as to what happens if you try to access a feature for an app that has been ‘removed.’ For now, it’s unclear, but with the beta version coming out soon, it’s safe to say that the possible bug will be fixed in time for the Fall release.

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.
