SnapChat; A Step Closer To "The Entire History of You

"The Entire History"' of you is an incredible episode from a Sci-Fi TV Series "Black Mirror." (Its pretty damn good!)

So in this episode, Jessie Armstrong(writer) imagines an alternate reality of people able to save and replay videos of memories on either their eye balls or on a large TV screen. A "grain" implanted behind each person's ear allows the mind-blowing capability.

It's no surprise that "The entire history of you" quickly came to mind after reading about Snapchat's newest product; spectacles; a set of connected sunglasses that records 10 secs of video. According to the WSJ, Evan tested a prototype while on a hiking trip. He describes the experience as unbelievable. 'When I got the footage back and watched it, I could see my own memory, through my own eyes — it was unbelievable, It's one thing to see images of an experience you had, but it's another thing to have an experience of the experience. It was the closest I'd ever come to feeling like I was there again."

Along with the new product, the company has re-branded as Snap, Inc to match its vision of the future, implying that with the new name, users can expect several new products from the company since it will no longer just be a social media app.

Spectacles will release in slow numbers starting this fall, and is priced at $130.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
