12 Dos And Don'ts Of Snapchat Stories

We all have that one friend who doesn't understand the rules of Snapchat. Every time you open their story, you know it's going to be cringe-worthy.

These are the unwritten rules of Snapchat that all users need to understand:

1. Do use filters.

They make the whole Snapchat look so much better!

2. Don't double Snap.


When you have three people Snapping the same thing, it gets a little old.

3. Do Snap interesting/funny things that other people will enjoy.


Entertain your audience.

4. Don't expect everyone to look at it.


Odds are people are just going to tap to make the notifications go away.

5. Don't take a selfie Snapchat.


Save it for Instagram.

6. Do put up your drunk escapades.


It's an easy way to remember what you did last night!

7. Don't go over 100 seconds on your story.


We get it! You're excited about your concert, but 260 seconds is excessive.

8. Do set a lower-second Snapchat.


Unless there's a lot of writing, there's no need for a 10-second picture.

9. Don't talk to the people that follow you on Snapchat.


Pro tip: try Vine.

10. Do use geotags.


They're pretty cool!

11. Don't just Snapchat inside jokes.


Send it to the people who will get it.

12. Don't send individual Snapchats that you also put on your story.


Just, no ...

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.
