Project Apollo Archives

If you have not heard of the "Project Apollo Archives" then you definitely need to check this out (LINK HERE). This project was created and done by NASA's Johnson Center as they scanned the High-Resolution images as it now consists of every photo taken by NASA Astronauts during the Apollo missions. With over 14 thousand images (14,406 to be exact) these images are must see material as the website has collected over 1 billion views since being completed.

The Apollo missions resulted in 12 Astronauts landing on the surface of the moon, as this project shows pictures from missions 7 all the way through to missions 17. Included in this project are the most famous pictures taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, as they were the first humans to land on the Moon in July of 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission.

As you're browsing through the images, there will be a few that you recognize, like the famous picture of Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon, and the American flag alone on the barren landscape of the Moon. Some of the more famous pictures include the images the Astronauts took of our home planet. One of my favorite pictures is the image that shows an "Earthrise", which shows our planet from the surface of the moon.

Even if you're not a big space nerd like me you still definitely should take the time to look through some of these images. What makes these photos even more special is the fact that all of these photos are completely unedited. The photos being unedited is cool because since these are the raw photos from the astronauts, it gives a cool insight into these missions from the astronauts perspectives.

It's definitely something that you should check out when you have some downtime, you'll definitely be shocked by some of the images, enjoy!

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.
