Rocket League is an arcade based game of flying cars playing soccer. I have been playing this game since it was free on PlayStation Plus. Ever since then, I have continued to play it and the game has continued to grow and added modes to keep it fun.

1) Competitive

An aspect of the game that keeps me entertained is competitive. Rocket League has 4 competitive modes, duels, doubles, standard and solo standard. Duels are 1v1 and doubles are 2v2. Standard is 3v3 but players can be partied with friends while solo standard doesn't allow any partied or teamed players. My favorite game mode is solo standard, which is an unpopular opinion. The sole standard is notorious within the community as being a mode that frustrates others. As you play competitively you either go up ranks or go down. The current ranks from bottom to top are Bronze I-III, Silver I-III, Gold I-III, Platinum I-III, Diamond I-III, Champ I-III and finally Grand Champion. Each competitive season lasts 3-4 months, So far, there have been 7 seasons and season 8 will commence soon. At the end of each season, players receive rewards for the highest rank they achieved and the reward ranks that are below their highest rank. An example, if my highest rank that I achieved in a season is diamond then, I would receive diamond rewards, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum rewards.

2) Increasing Skill Change









One that thing about Rocket League that I love is the increasing skill gap between players. As the game got older, people started to get better as new mechanics was discovered and used by players into their game style. This makes it fun because you have to adapt to the new play style that is used. If you cannot adapt then you're rank will decrease as you'll be left in the dust.

3) New modes

Rocket League has added new modes in the past like Rumble, Hoops, Hockey and Dropshot. With these modes, it keeps the players interested in the game. These modes usually, have a lot of people playing in them for the first few months it comes out before there is a significant drop in players. However, tournaments were recently added to the game and it enables players to create their own tournaments. This led to various players creating and setting up their own tournaments with their own rules. This leads to a different variety that players can choose.

4) Workshops

Workshops are something that only PC players can use as it is connected to Steam workshops. This allows players to create maps or courses that others can download to either improve their skills or play with others. It's good because it allows players to add and display their creativity.

Ever since it's release Rocket League, has become an addicting game, winning awards and being fun. It can be addicting and these are the reasons why if find it fun. Maybe it's something that you also, will enjoy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
