Group messages get a little too crazy sometimes.

10 Annoying Things About GroupMe Conversations

As an Odyssey creator, I rarely have too much to complain about when it comes down to how we communicate and the programs we use. But, for one moment, I'd like to vent about the funniest and most inconvenient app that exists: GroupMe. Most of this will be sarcastic, because I do love using it, but I have a few complaints.

1. No one has a filter

I love you guys, really, but wow. Sometimes you learn more than you expect and the honesty can be a bit surprising. But no filter means no secrets.

2. The notifications

If I leave my phone alone for ten minutes, there is a possibility I will have at least twenty notifications from a conversation. Some times I want to turn notifications off.

3. Lack of privacy

Simply: someone is watching your every comment, and it is a problem sometimes. I just wanted to get opinions in peace.

4. GIF sprees

Sometimes my day cannot be described in a GIF, but I try. There's just so many of them. And a lot of people use similar ones, which can be insane.

5. On going conversations

Y'all are still talking at one am? Really? This is ridiculous. How long can one conversation go on?

6. Scrolling

Geez, my thumb gets a workout trying to catch up on what everyone is talking about. This app is at least makes one part of my hand strong.

7. Lost comments

I'm aware someone said something funny, but now I can't find it. Why? Just, why?

8. Freaking notifications

Yes, this deserves distant points. There's just too many.

9. The amount of emojis used

How many "crying" faces does it take to make a joke funny? I'm unsure at this point.

10. How quickly people reply

I asked one question, and now I can't even answer the first reply. Wow.


Yes, everyone, I love the app. I just thought a mostly satirical list would brighten up someone's day. Maybe I do have a messed up sense of humor, who knows.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
