Sony held its "Future of Gaming" Event Thursday to give viewers a first look at the PlayStation 5 console. The new console has a sleek and fresh white design that is PlayStation's "most striking design yet." Before the console reveal, fans viewed snippets of a bundle of games coming to the PS5 that include some familiar titles and as well as brand new ones, some of which looked incredible.

Let's get into the design of the console:

The device is tall and thin and is white on the front and back, with blue and black accent colors in the middle. Many viewers were surprised by the design because of many different photos floating around on the internet and boy were they off by a longshot!

During the event, more than two dozen game trailers were shown alongside the new look for the PS5. Some familiar titles include "Spider-Man: Miles Morales", "Gran Turismo 7" and "Rachet & Clank: Rift Apart." Smaller game studios are on the list as well to bring games like "Stray", "Destruction AllStars" and "Kena: Bridge of Spirits" to the console.

To add to the big news, the company also announced that there will be an all-digital console without a disc drive. This is a huge step for console gaming.

The big question viewers were curious about: When is the launch date and how much is it?

Sony stated that the company will reveal a price and launch date for the PS5 later. Fans will still have to hold out and wait for the big news.

Overall, Sony executed a great event that fans seemed to enjoy. Not only do fans know what the console looks like and what games they're getting, but they also know a lot of what they can expect in the future as PlayStation continues to evolve.


Here's a look at Sony's official hardware reveal trailer.

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.

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.
