"The new iPhone isn't that great," they said

Since the new iPhone 7 and 7+ were officially announced, I've heard a variety of opinions. These opinions ranged anywhere from "there's not that many new features" to "this iPhone is going to suck because they took the headphone jack out" to "this is going to be the best iPhone yet." Well, since the new iPhone has actually been released, we've finally got some real reviews from users. Let's just say: everybody is freaking out about the new iPhone.

In short, the iPhone press conference announced the following new features:

• Splash, water, and dust resistant

•This includes falling into a pool

• Better camera

•For the iPhone 7+, this includes a dual camera to provide better zoom

•Professional photographers have given the "thumbs up" on the new camera

• Better flash

•They have provide a quad-LED "true tone" flash which includes two cool tones and two warm tones to make the flash better and brighter

• Improved home button

•The home button does not click anymore and just needs a touch to operate

• Improved design

•They have removed the headphone jack (the less holes on the phone, the less places for water to get in). They also removed the designs on the back so the back of the phone is now a sleek design.

• Longer battery

•Apple is priding itself with how much longer the battery lasts on the new iPhone 7 and 7+. If you had the most recent iPhone, you'll get an extra hour of batter. If you had an even older version of the iPhone, you'll get 2+ extra hours of battery life.

Now, many people didn't really care about these new features. Very minimal updates and not that spectacular. But now that the new phone is out, everybody is really noticing these features. Just take a look at the following youtube videos:

First, The Water Test:


This youtuber decided to take the phone to the test. It's water resistant, but how water resistant is it actually? Well, if you watch this video, you can find out!

He doesn't just stop there, though. In his next video he took the phone to the next level. He compared the iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 to see which phone would die first, and at which depths both phones die at. The results are shocking, the videos are a little long, but both videos are worth the watch!

Next, the Drop Test:


Since these phones are just as durable as the other ones (not very), I think it would still be smart to get a case to protect the glass screen.

Then, the Bend... and SCRATCH! Test


Get it? The bend and snap? This youtuber gives us a little science behind scratches and he also addresses the rumor that the home button and the camera might be made of sapphire crystal.

The Boiling Water Test


Yep, you heard that right! This youtuber puts the new iPhone 7 in boiling water.

Freezing Test


That same youtuber took it another step further and soaked the phone in coke and then froze it for 17 hours. Check out the results in the video!

Last, but not least: The Microwave Test


Yes. He is microwaving the new iPhone 7. Crazy, right?

After watching these videos, I think it's safe to say that the new iPhone 7 can withstand just about anything. Does that mean we should test it? Probably not. But isn't that really cool? Heck yes! Which is why everybody is freaking out about the new iPhone 7!

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.
