The adventures of Lara Croft continue in a new game by Square Enix, in a trailer that released last month. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is currently set to release in full on September 14, 2018.

Fans of the series have been with Lara for a long time now, watching her shape into the "tomb raider" she is meant to be. The new game will follow her on what could possibly be her final journey to save the world from a Mayan apocalypse, which will prove to be her biggest feat yet.

If you are a fan of grueling puzzles, discovering hidden cities and survival gameplay then you are in luck with Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The game will encompass everything you loved about past tomb raider games while adding new elements like tombs that will be harder to master than ever before. This time you will have to be a true Tomb Raider to discover the secrets of the past.

Online mode is one aspect of the Tomb Raider games that has not been explored in the past. However, studio head at Eidos Montreal, David Anfossi, says that gamers may be able to expect an online gaming experience. He did also state that the online mode wouldn't necessarily mean multiplayer.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider cost over a whopping $100 million to make and promote, which is one reason the studio may be looking to add new elements into the game. Online mode will not only bring in fans of the old games but new fans who wish to experience the hype, as well.

When asked about the studio's direction for the game, Anfossi said they would be sticking to the focus they have always had for Tomb Raider, Lara Croft. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is going to be all about Lara and her evolution.

Gameplay has always looked into Lara's life, her emotions and her past; showing players how she got to be where she is. Through this, we've gotten to know Lara as though she is a friend. With Shadow of the Tomb Raider following this trend, it is likely we will get to learn more about Lara's past and possibly learn some of her secrets.

Anfossi also hinted at some crazy new puzzles throughout the game. We all know Tomb Raider has its fair share of puzzles. I'll be the first to admit that the puzzles in Tomb Raider have never compared to the puzzles featured throughout a similar game, Uncharted.

In an interview, Anfossi stated that the puzzles created for the new game will be crazier than ever before. Not only are the puzzles going to be more intricate, but they will also all be physically possible in the real world. So remember when you are playing, every single puzzle could be reality.

Tomb Raider games are popular not only for their terrific storyline, but because of the love for Lara Croft. With Eidos Montreal behind the wheel of her story now, it seems she is in good hands.

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.
