A glimpse of the future

Snapchat On the GO?

Woah! Snapchat’s new device “ Spectacles” , is making history. This new device has interesting features that the entire nation would soon take advantage of. Let’s start with Augmented Reality. Augmented Reality overlays digital information onto the visual world. Which means it turns the imagination into a reality , that we can see to the human eye. Spectacles are glasses that can record video clips that will save to your Snapchat Memories. They are equipped with a 115- degree lens, which is manufactures the same way that humans actually see. Spectacles are currently being sold for $130. Lenses are the actual overlay used to add the special effects/ features that the snapchat users see. Lenses distort the visual reality of what the user gets to see. Specs are designed to do both capture images and record videos , that you can later view on your snapchat . The ages that will be using Specs the most , range from 18-25 years old. Microsoft's HoloLens or ODG’s smart glasses were another company that tried to make a similar product. Snapchat has indirectly promoted “social-awkwardness”. As people get more accustomed to using their phones they will use it as a crutch to rely on. The trends that i notice is that once one company makes a device others copy . Also they try to point out the negative things that the company before them has with their product.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
