10 Thoughts When Getting A New Phone
red bubble

Nothing says you're "having a good day" like getting a new phone! Whether your old phone broke or you're getting a new one as a present, it is always a happy day. No matter what, we all have the same thoughts as we leave the store.


1. YAY!

The initial excitement feels like it will last forever. Having the latest phone, or even a phone that just isn't cracked makes you feel on top of the world.


2. This camera is amazing

New phone=new camera=better selfies. The math is pretty simple. Your Snapchat game will be better than ever.


3. So many new features!

If you even miss one generation of a phone, you seem to be five software updates behind everyone else. You won't want to put your phone down until you know the in's and out's of all of the new apps.


4. Everyone's going to be so jealous

You know everyone's going to want to play with your new phone and compare it to theirs as soon as you have the hottest new one.


5. Who should I text first?

The first move always seems critical. Do you text your BFF and let them know or hit up the whole group chat?


6. Which case should I get?

This may be one of the most important parts. The last thing you would want is your new phone getting scratched up, but you want to keep your style.


7. My favorite part!

It becomes officially official as soon as you peel off that plastic coating. New products never felt so good.


8. Now I have to download all of my apps

Half of the time, we have apps on our phone we forgot were even there. Getting a new phone is a fresh start.


9. S#!%, I forget my password for [insert social media]!

Unfortunately, you will have to log back into your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. When we are so accustom to being automatically logged in it is frustrating to remember the passwords.


10. How long have I been staring at this?

Since your phone is with you everywhere you go, the first few days it is glued to your face. Everyone of your friends and family will be begging you to put it down.

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.
