The 14 Types Of Friends You Have On Snapchat

Unless you don't like to have fun, you definitely have Snapchat. You have it synced with all the contacts in your phone even though you probably only communicate with a handful of them. It's evolved into a great app to chat with friends, and now with live stories, you can indulge in the world around you. Much like other social networks, each user has his or her unique usage style. That's what brings us here today. We all have at least one friend in our recently snapped list living one of the following Snapchat lifestyles:

1. The Android user.

If you're one of these friends, I respect you and your Droid. Whatever floats your boat, my man. However, I'm team Apple all the way. If you are an avid Snapchat videographer via Droid, then you are doing the art of Snap videos a huge disservice. Your video never quite meets anyone's expectations. Stick to the pics.

2. The Picasso of our generation.

They don't have to be great artists, but these friends are huge fans of the paint tool. I am definitely a paint supporter. It can enhance any Snap and take it from zero to 100 real quick. There's the opportunity to display wit and creativity that the camera can't capture on its own. Of course, its main purpose is to finish a clever caption when the width of your phone screen misses the mark.

3. The dog whisperer*.

I'm even guilty of the occasional "dog snap." I strategically send them to my dog-loving friends so that I don't disappoint my large Snapchat fan base. I do this out of love to avoid the repercussions of inappropriate Snapchat etiquette. But there are also the people who solely send Snaps of their dogs playing fetch, staring at them in the kitchen, running in a circle, eating food, etc. and maybe it's cute on occasion. However, there are more exciting sights to be snapped in the world.

*Dog is interchangeable with cat, bird, snake, hamster, hermit crab, plant, etc.

4. The illegible name that consists of 14 random consonants.

They are known for sending you what looks like mediocre clip art snaps with a caption congratulating you for winning a $50 McDonald's gift card. I don't know what I ever did to you, ydkljqpjdclkzv, but thanks for teasing me and my McChicken addiction.

5. The 300-second My Story offender.

I have nothing nice to say to you. I don't even know why we're friends. If it's a one time fluke, I can maybe understand. But until you Snapchat your entire NASA trip to the moon, I am not interested in your four minute My Story about you doing your laundry.

6. The next in line on the liver transplant list.

Everyone is friends with one. It may even be you, and if that's the case, I commend you for your wild lifestyle. This person might be a little bit of every Snapchatter. If he or she had a really good night, there may even be a 300-second My Story involved. These ones are doing something insane while going out every single night, but of course they're smart enough to only document their festivities for 24 hours.

7. The concert goer.

This special person has you asking yourself, “Wait there was a concert in town last night?” You either love them or you hate them; there's no in between. These are sometimes worth watching depending on the show because, as an avid music lover, you never know what you're going to see at a concert. Still, I'd say 99 percent of these Snaps are a bust. The sound quality is an absolute nightmare. If this is you, live in the moment at a show! Snapchats come and go, but memories last forever.

8. The screenshotter.

This friend is just plain dirty. You can't trust him or her despite it probably being one of your closest buddies. You've had to resort to measures such as shooting one-second Snaps or even taking them out of your usual Snapchat realm altogether. Remember you can always give them a taste of their own medicine. Payback's a bitch, but in a world where pictures aren't meant to be permanent, it may be necessary.


9. The friend without a face.

I still don't really understand this one. They refuse to take selfies, show their faces, and use the front-facing camera. All we know about them is what the inside of their houses and cubicles look like. And while I'm all for watching TV, I will do that on my own television, not on yours over Snapchat.

10. The lip sync superstar.

Alright, "superstar" is a loose term. In fact, it may be completely false. I don't know that the Snapchat world wants to see poorly sung songs while people jam out in their cars, but as long as these people don't two-time as 300-second My Story Snapchatters, then I'm okay with it.

11. The one-hit wonder.

This person, no matter what, without fail, "even if there's a fire," will always respond with the same exact facial expression. It's their signature Snapchat look, and nothing is going to change it. Maybe it's a weird teethy smile. Maybe it's “Blue Steel." There is no anticipation because we all know what's going to happen when we open your Snap: definitely not “Magnum.”

12. The world traveler.

These people really grind my gears. It's pure jealousy, really. One day, they're in front of the Eiffel Tower, and the next day, they're touring the Colosseum. I only ever want to respond asking them how much money they make and why I didn't get invited.

13. The mass Snapchatter.

As if we didn't already lose respect for them from their mass texting antics, then they go and mass Snapchat all their friends! Usually a member of your friend group, he or she will send everyone else in the friend group the same exact Snap. They should just go ahead and make it their My Story. It saves them the scrolling and selecting time, not to mention the shade you'll snap back to them when you find out they're a phony.

14. The worst kind of Snapchatter.

The issue with Snapchat is its read receipts; it's a bittersweet feature. It lets you know when the Snap exchange ends, but it also gives you mad anxiety. One of the worst Snapchat infringements you can make is not responding to a message. No one likes to associate themselves with an offender. There's nothing worse than sending an embarrassing Snapchat to the wrong friend – a friend with very capable hands (see “the screenshotter”). Maybe they'll respond, or maybe they won't. Whichever they choose, you will be fully aware of when they have opened your humiliating Snap.

Even though Snapchat took away its Best Friends feature, otherwise known as the best stalking tool in history, it will forever be last on the list of apps to delete when my phone runs out of storage space. Do us all a favor, Snapchatters, find a happy medium. Balance your style and get creative. Keep sending dog videos and nudes if that's really what you're into, but please don't send them to me.

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.
