What To Expect At E3 2017
E3

E3 or Electronic Entertainment Expo is a yearly thing that gathers thousands of game developers and players in one place. E3 take place June 14 - 17 this year. Its a time where game developers and producers reveal what they have cooking up in their studios. This year makes E3 so much better though, for the first time ever they are allowing the public to attend the event. In the past is was only ever press and game developers, but E3 has opened it to everyone. This allows the players to have a hands on experience with the games they are exited for in the near future. Tickets for the public have already gone on sale.

E3 is centered in the summer making it a refreshing experience for gamers. Very few major games release during the summer making it the "dry season." The dry season is where most gamers pick up games they missed around holiday season or crack down on some indie games. E3 lets those gamers take a break from playing those games and preview what the future of gaming has to offer. The event is streamed over all kinds of social media outlets and news outlets. Xbox specifically has an app you are able to download for free to watch their E3 press conference.

Each major game producer have their own conferences that are packed full of games. Producers such as Electronic Arts, Sony, Microsoft and Bethesda reveal what they have planned for the future. Sony and Microsoft will specifically detail what they want to do for their consoles. Xbox will go into more detail about Project Skorpio and the future of Xbox consoles. They will also update fans on exclusive games and content for Xbox. Sony will do the same, revealing a large line up of exclusive games ready for release in the near future.

E3 has always been a big event and some of the larger producers like Electronic Arts host their own events the Sunday before E3 begins. Electronic Arts will be hosting their EA Play event the day before E3 officially starts on Wednesday. This event allows Electronic Arts to get their game news out before any of the other game developers do. This makes EA's games the first impression of the 2017 E3 expereince. Although this year year, they have some competition.

Xbox announced that they will be moving their annual E3 Press Conference to Sunday, June 11. This may bring some competition between the two conferences, but it all depends on when the conferences are slated time wise. E3 is setting up to a big one this year with many exciting titles being teased and some not even announced yet.

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.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
