Nintendo Is Switching Up The Game

A few days ago, Nintendo released a video showing their new gaming system and I can not be more excited.

From the Nintendo 64, to the DS, to the Wii U, they have always been great with coming out with new consoles and gaming platforms. Now, they are introducing the Nintendo Switch - a console that certainly lives up to the name.

From the looks of it, the Nintendo Switch is a console and handheld system in which you can switch between the two.

In the picture above, you can see the set up for when you want to use it as just a console, and play it on your television. You can place the device into the Nintendo Switch Dock and it will go onto the big screen. From there, you can use the controller to play whatever the game may be.


The handheld side of the system seems like a mix between the Nintendo DS and the Wii U, which is a great way to game while on the go. You can switch by taking off the controls, called the Joy-Con, from the Joy-Con Grip and sliding them onto each side of the console, making it portable.

Not only that, but the Joy-Con controllers can be detached and connect wirelessly to the device, which is great for multiplayer games such as Mario Kart. The device also comes with a stand, which is useful when it comes down to those intense games with friends.

This device is amazing and definitely one to be loved in 2017. It gives the users a chance to game however they please, whether that's in a car, in the comfort of their home, or practically anywhere else. There are several ways to use this device, which is unlike anything before. It brings a new and refreshing twist to gaming.

The Nintendo Switch is to be released worldwide March 2017, and there will be more detail and information along the way.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
