20 Reasons Why We Can't Live Without Snapchat

“Do you have a snap? You should add me!” Let’s be real, we can pretend that Snapchat isn’t as prevalent in our lives as it is, but c’mon, you know how it is.

Here are 20 reasons as to why Snapchat is as great as it is.

1. The filters.

Everyone looks good as a dog, or a screaming bunny, or throwing up rainbows. They're all a good time.

2. The geotags.

What would snap be without a way to tell everyone where you are on top of what you’re doing?

3. It provides a basis for conversation.

“Oh my god, did you see her snap story last night?!”

4. It’s the perfect way to creep on people’s lives without actually feel like you’re creeping.

5. It’s selfie central, without the shame in double, triple, or quadruple posting.

6. You can see picture and video snippets from the majority of your favorite celebs.

7. You get a live-stream of what’s going on in your friends’ lives without actually having to be there.

8. It's a way to be goofy and document fun times with friends that are there.

9. The ability to reach another level of friendship through maintaining snap streaks.

But when the streak ends... so does your life.

10. Stories aren’t permanent, so you can document all you want, knowing it’ll be gone the next day… or you can delete what you don't want to be seen anymore.

11. It’s a way to be risky in ten seconds or less.

12. It lets you document the best food outings and “white girl moments” with your Starbucks or Panera.

Didn’t happen if you didn’t snap it.

13. It allows for the perfect blackmailing opportunities.

You and your friends send ugly snaps back and forth, and you already know a screenshot is coming.

14. It’s the perfect way have 10 second-long rap battles with your friends.

Don’t deny it, you’ve done it.

15. It’s a way to document the college life.

Did you even go to a party? Snaps or it didn’t happen.

16. You used to be able to see people’s “Best Friends” and tell who was snapping who most, allowing you to enter full snooping mode.

17. You can see what’s going on in the lives of people you know without having to maintain the friendship.

18. It lets you stay connected with people who are across the state, country, or world.

19. It has it's own messenger, along with being able to send pictures and video, all in one app!

20. It's a great source for entertainment.

Nothing to do? Always time to check out Snapchat.

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.
