SnapChat; A Step Closer To "The Entire History of You

"The Entire History"' of you is an incredible episode from a Sci-Fi TV Series "Black Mirror." (Its pretty damn good!)

So in this episode, Jessie Armstrong(writer) imagines an alternate reality of people able to save and replay videos of memories on either their eye balls or on a large TV screen. A "grain" implanted behind each person's ear allows the mind-blowing capability.

It's no surprise that "The entire history of you" quickly came to mind after reading about Snapchat's newest product; spectacles; a set of connected sunglasses that records 10 secs of video. According to the WSJ, Evan tested a prototype while on a hiking trip. He describes the experience as unbelievable. 'When I got the footage back and watched it, I could see my own memory, through my own eyes — it was unbelievable, It's one thing to see images of an experience you had, but it's another thing to have an experience of the experience. It was the closest I'd ever come to feeling like I was there again."

Along with the new product, the company has re-branded as Snap, Inc to match its vision of the future, implying that with the new name, users can expect several new products from the company since it will no longer just be a social media app.

Spectacles will release in slow numbers starting this fall, and is priced at $130.

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?
