Technology Is Getting Really Advanced...And It's Awesome!

Can I get a second to breathe and catch up on the tech I have now?

Last week, I was in a lecture and my professor went on to discuss the invention of 8k TVs. Automatically, I thought, "Wait a second. 8k? Didn't we just commercialize 4k?" Well, guess what, ladies and gentlemen, I did a little bit of research and yes! 8k TVs have been invented and tested and it is absolutely stunning!

You might be thinking, "Hold up. It can't look that much better, right? 8k is only two times better than 4k." Wrong! Your standard 1080p HD television has over 2 million pixels (2,073,600 to be exact). 4k has four times that amount which makes 4k TVs have over 8 million pixels! I won't do any more math in this article so I'll just cut to the chase.

8k TVs have over 33 million pixels!

That is an insane amount of pixels compared to just over 10 years ago when most TVs only had over 300,000 pixels.

Anothe recent bit of tech news is currently freaking out the internet community is a video of a robot dog opening a door... what??? I'll admit that I don't like these robots slowly and surely getting able to do more and more stuff. This story, especially, makes me think of "Black Mirror" and if you haven't seen "Black Mirror" just know that it will mess with your mind and you will never look at anything the same.

Technology has come so far even in the last 10 years. It's getting super-advanced and it's beautiful and almost terrifying in a way. How far will technology go in the next ten years even? I'm really crossing my fingers for flying cars and shoes that tie themselves! Will it happen? Looks like all we can do is sit back and wait for those brilliant minds to do their thing.

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.
