TL;DR For CES 2017
Straits Times

The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, is a yearly mecca for tech fans, where companies new and old show off their latest tech. Taking place every January, CES allows big companies to show off their latest products that they will be releasing to the public later in the year, or even some R&D tech that they are still working on. Of course, with such a big conference, there are so many new things that you can't keep track of all of them. So here is a TL;DR for CES 2017.

LG's OLED W7

Described as the "lightest, thinnest, and most beautiful TV on the planet" and they aren't being brash. The W7 is 2.57mm thick and comes in 65 in and 77 in.

NVIDIA's Shield TV

NVIDIA released their own streaming box, competing with the Chromecast and Apple TV. The Shield comes with 4K streaming for Netflix, Youtube, Google Play Movies, Amazon Video and even game streaming (if your PC is powerful enough). The Shield is available to buy now and is priced at $189 for the 16GB model and $279 for the 50 GB model.

Honor 6X: the new iPhone "killer"?

Huawei showed off its new phone, the Honor 6X, which is set to sell for $250, and has average specs with one exception – a dual-camera configuration. The only other phone that has a configuration similar to that is the iPhone 7 Plus, which goes for $649 on retail. A budget phone that makes sure that your Insta photos look good?!? Who wouldn't get it?

Dell's New XPS 13

After its initial release in 2016, Dell decided to press the refresh button to release its new Kaby Lake processor based 2-in-1 XPS 13. This may the best tech showed off in CES and is setting a new standard on what laptops should be like. Make sure you keep this on your radar when you think you need a new laptop that's ultraportable and pleasing to look at.

2 TB Storage – Kingston, why?

Unlike the other sleek and elegant items on this list, Kingston announced a USB stick. A 2TB USB stick, for that matter. No more having to carry multiple USBs around. The DataTraveler Ultimate GT is a YUGE USB stick and can carry 70 hours of 4K resolution or 19,000,000 term papers. No need to delete anything anymore.

This TL;DR didn't cover everything about CES 2017. Be sure to check out the other gadgets and electronics in CES 2017. Also be on the lookout for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in March, for those new smartphones that we'll be getting.

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.

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.
