11 Reactions Facebook Should Have Added

Facebook has recently added a new feature along with their "like" option. Supposedly, if you hold down the like button while "liking" a post, you can show a new reaction — a happy face, angry face or a surprised face. While this might be a fun new addition, Facebook has definitely left out some pretty significant reactions that a lot of us have IRL.


1. The winky face

They should have added this to bring a little bit more flirty-ness to it all. It would also be hilarious and fun to just send a cute little winky face.

2. A puppy face

Because there are those people who always post about their dog and, honestly, we all love it. I love it when I see an adorable pooch on my timeline.

3. A cat face

To tag along with the dog emoji, because we all have some cat people on our timelines too. Usually it is me.

4. The dislike button

Facebook users have been begging and screaming from the rooftops that we all want a dislike button. While it could possibly go very bad if we got one, can't Mark Zuckerberg just give the people what they want?

5. The baby face

Some people also like to constantly post about their children. It is only cute if you personally know the person, but I would definitely use this one the next time my friend posts a picture of her child.

6. The peace sign/flower

This is for all of those flower child/hippies out there. All they are doing is just trying to spread the love and peace through the world, man.

7. The sick face

You know the emoji that has the face mask on? I see people who post stuff from "Dr. Pimple Popper," and I do not enjoy those things at all. It doesn't help if I sometimes am scrolling through my feed while I am eating. Please keep the gross stuff to yourself.

8. An "I don't care" button

This goes along with the dislike button, but it is the honest truth. So many times I might see something and wonder, why would this remotely be something you would want to post? This was made for the people who post their entire life story on their page.

9. A "where did you get that outfit" button

While scrolling through our feed, we honestly see an outfit that we fall in love with. The next time someone posts their "OOTD," I would love to know where she got the pants she was wearing.

10. A food button

For all the people who still post their food on social media. Also, when people post about their pizza, it always makes me hungry and want pizza. Oh who am I kidding; I always want pizza.

11. Something to keep everything political off my timeline

I know this isn't a button or a reaction, but it honestly is something I wish I had. I don't want to be asked if I am "Feeling the Bern," and I also don't enjoy watching Trump make a fool out of himself, no matter how much I also don't like him. I just go to Facebook to catch up with friends and watch funny animal videos my friends post. Isn't that the point of Facebook anyway?

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.
