Fornite by Epic Games has taken the world by storm. The battle royale game peaked at 3.4 million concurrent players back in February. Since then the lead up to the game's fourth season has driven the internet mad. Talks about the Comet set to impact the map have taken over discussion boards. Well, now that the fourth season is here I'll tell you why you shouldn't give a damn.


I'll start with the biggest point, the Comet. People thought that the Comet was set to take out Tilted Towers, a major source of conflict in the game. However, Epic had other ideas. Instead of destroying Tilted Towers they chose to destroy this little, nothing spot called Dusty Depot. It is now known as Dusty Divot, though you won't have time think that when you get sniped while looking at it.

The location has little to offer, it is just a massive crater with plenty of angles to get shot at from. There is a small bonus it gives. There are small crystals out in the open, that when consumed increase your jump height temporarily. A temporary boost to my jump does not seem like a good reward for running out into the open and standing there for 5 seconds. Might as well set up a neon sign saying "Shoot me". There are other locations like the prison that got affected but overall the map changed little and the crystals are just an invitation to get shot.


Besides that, they only added cosmetics. More skins, melee weapon skins, gliders, and dumb dances. Something more overt is the addition of the season 4 Battle Pass. The battle pass is something that rewards players every time they enter a new tier. There are two problems with this system.

First, players have to buy the Battle Pass with V-Bucks, the in-game currency that must be purchased with real money. Second, the non-Battle Pass option is a joke. The Battle Pass system rewards the player every time they enter a new tier, but the non-Battle Pass option rewards the player every four tiers starting at tier two and ending at tier 54.

While the Battle Pass players get things like XP increases and new outfits for their characters, the average joes are getting profile icons and loading screens. Loading screens don't seem like appropriate rewards for reaching tier 30 honestly.


Overall, season 4 of Fortnite might be the bomb for the 10-year-olds of the world, but for those of us who know better, this update was an overhyped massive waste of time. if there ever were 5 words to describe Fortnite overhyped massive waste of time would surely be they.

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.

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.

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.
