As a college student, it is essential to have a hobby to keep you well balanced and active outside of your studies. This can be achieved by participating in one or more of your university's clubs or organizations. One of the best things about NC State University is that there are many clubs for students to partake in. There are actually over 700 student organizations to participate in.

One of these clubs is the Esports club at NCSU. It is a place for students to meet up and hang out while playing video games. Esports is a great club because you can have fun by playing video games and hanging out with like-minded people, but it is also an electronic "sports" club. This means that you can compete in tournaments for multiplayer games with your friends against other teams. This can help to keep your mind and reflexes sharp, much like more traditional sports such as football.

The Esports club at NCSU is actually competing in the upcoming Triangle Esports Championship in Durham, NC! This is an amazing event as it not only is giving gamers an opportunity to show off their skills and compete against friends, but it is also a charity event. The Triangle Esports Tournament is donating all proceeds to fund digital inclusion and literacy efforts in the Triangle offered by local non-profit organizations Kramden Institute and the Triangle Literacy Council.

The non-profits plan to use the proceeds to "provide basic digital literacy training to communities in need, provide basic literacy, life skills, and workforce development services, provide refurbished computers and computing technology, and to offer STEM education programs to underserved students". The Esports club is sending some of its members to compete in the event's solo Fortnite tournament. This event has a prize pool of $1,000.

The Triangle Esports Championship is open to the public. Anyone can attend the event and watch the tournaments and participate in games throughout the day. With the purchase of a general admission ticket, you can have access to viewing the tournaments, special PlayStation Showcase, any exhibits or vendors, and can compete in the Rocket League and Fortnite tournaments. You can purchase tickets and learn more about the event by going to their website at: https://triangleesportschampionship.com.

The event is taking place at the Durham Armory in Durham, NC. Be sure, if you attend, to root for the Esports club members to win!

To get involved with the Esports club at NCSU, you can check them out online at: https://getinvolved.ncsu.edu/organization/esports.

The club has a Discord server for you to chat with other members and to play video games with friends; https://discord.gg/PaFYsph.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
