Call of Duty

For those who play video games, and even those who don't, Call of Duty is one of the biggest console games on the market. Not only does COD dominate the markets, it also has had a strong cult following ever since 2007's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," the fourth game in the series.

Since 2014's "Advanced Warfare," the series has added eco-suits and other forms of assisted motions that take the game in an entire new direction.

Due to those changes, sales of the franchise have dipped with the main consensus being that the last few installments have been stale.


Although it was a fun spin, every game since then has included this extra feature. This essentially allows the players to fly or jump around the map excessively, which to many players is very unpleasant.

This year is huge for the franchise, "Call of Duty: WWII" releases November, 3rd leaving the community with high hopes. This game is reverting back to "boots on the ground" style gameplay, and is finally moving away from the high tech realm of past titles. This will be the second COD game to be set during WWII, with the first being "Call of Duty: World at War" which was released in 2008.

For the fans who have been disappointed in years past, this game is make or break for the franchise.


Sledgehammer games and Raven Software worked together with Activision to produce this years COD. Even though the standards have been set high, recent beta testings of the game have shown mostly positive results. Besides minor complaints, the test runs of the game have shown it to be what true fans are hoping for— a gritty, fast paced, and fun "Call of Duty" that some players have been missing for years.

The beta has been also been a great way for players to tell the developers what needs fixed in the game. By doing this the developers can ensure the game will be as good as it can be this November. Until then, we must anxiously wait for what is hopefully one of the best COD's in recent years.

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.
