6 Hacks For Your iPhone

1. Lock your camera's focal point.

Isn't it so annoying how you have to keep tapping the screen to make your camera focus? Well by pressing and holding down your screen for 3-4 seconds you can place an "AF Lock" on your focal point. Then your camera will not lose focus while taking your next picture.

2. Gently shake your phone to delete an entire message.

Don't want to hit the back button to have to delete your entire text message that you know you'll regret sending? Just shake your phone and then hit "Undo." Simple as that.

3. Charge your battery faster by turning on Airplane Mode.

It normally takes an hour or two to fully charge an iPhone to 100%. But by simply putting it on airplane, it'll charge in half the time

4. There is no need to finish the rest of your URL.

While on any screen with the keyboard open, simply push and holding down the "." will open up a series of pre-created URL endings.

5. Swipe left on a text to see the timestamp.

You can see the exact time that you texted someone back and how long it actually took them to reply to your message as well. In a text message, simply swipe to the left to see the timestamp of an exact text.

6. Save battery life by turning off your Location Services.

If you're not using maps at a certain time, why not just turn it off completely to save that much-needed energy on your phone? To do this go to Settings> Privacy> Location Services, then choose which app's location you want to turn off.

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.
