There are two main types of cameras: DSLR cameras and mirrorless cameras.

In a DSLR, a mirror inside the camera body reflects the light coming in from the lens up to a prism, and into the viewfinder so you can preview your shot. As the name suggests, a mirrorless camera does not contain a mirror, but rather allows light to pass through the lens and right onto the image sensor. This then captures a preview of the image on the viewfinder. So, which one is the best to buy for your purposes?

DSLR

Giphy

This specific camera is best for solely photography. If you want to take high quality photos for a cheaper price, this is definitely the better camera for you. As you progress your photography skills, you can buy more lenses to improve the quality of your pictures, but do not have to get another camera body, making this a beneficial selection. The best DSLR camera for a cheaper price is the Canon EOS Rebel T6, but there are others depending on what you need it for. However, these cameras are larger than mirrorless, so these would not be ideal for traveling, as it would be bulky.

Mirrorless

This camera is best for videography but is also decent for photography. Because there is no mirror in the camera body, this allows for the camera to be smaller. This is better for traveling and moving around a lot with your camera. I personally own a Sony alpha a6000, that I use for vlogging, travel videography, and taking pictures.

Overall, you should select a camera based off of mobility. If you want a camera to take on vacation or to take videos with, definitely get a mirrorless camera, and if you want a standard camera for daily photography, get a DSLR camera. Both are great in their own regards, but choose wisely when it comes to your needs and your budget.

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.
