iPhone 6: Yay or Nay?

Getting sick of the same old iPhone features that freeze, or half the time you don't have enough room to even download updates?

Apple recently unveiled the iPhone 6 and the technology world is buzzing with speculation of whether the newest model is a must-have or not.

The new iPhone 6 has a few key features that Apple fans are excited about. 

1. Bigger and Better Screen. Screen size matters to iPhone users. Ever since the development of the original few iPhone models, customers have always requested a larger screen. Apple listened to their customers and took their feedback into consideration when crafting the iPhone 6. The new iPhone features a 4.7 inch screen. The iPhone 6 Plus features a 5.5 inch screen. The screen also has a refreshed Retina display allowing for improved quality. 

2. Improved Look and Feel. The bigger body of the iPhone 6 also has curved glass edges for comfortable holding. The phone, of course, is super slim at 0.27-inch. Color is always an important aspect for the iPhone. We've seen gold, black, white, rose gold, silver, and then of course, the series of colors that were birthed through the iPhone 5c. The iPhone 6 comes in gold, silver, and space gray. The power button has also moved to the right side of the phone, for easier use. 

3. Camera. The new features of the camera help to take even better videos and photographs. Apple says that focus time is down. This means that you can take great quality pictures quicker than ever before. Also, colors are supposed to look more lifelike when flash is engaged on the iPhone 6. The HDR option is now automatically applied for all photos taken on the camera. 

4. Internals. The iPhone 6 has an A8 processor that allows for 50 percent faster graphics and 25 percent faster CPU. These features should make the phone more power efficient. Power efficiency is something important to iPhone users because in the past battery life has tended to be an issue. With support added in the WiFi standard means that the iPhone 6 will have WiFi speeds three times faster than in the iPhone 5S. 

The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus will be available in eight countries on September 19. However, pre-orders begin September 12 in the U.S. for those of you dying to get your paws on the bigger and better iPhone 6. The new iPhone starts at $199.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
