7 Benefits of Using Tinder

In this new technologically advanced world, even our relationships have become electronically motivated. One of the biggest and most well-known platforms for online dating is Tinder. Although it gets a lot of hate, Tinder has become extremely popular among people of all age groups so it must be doing something right.

1. It will reduce the chances of you texting your ex.

We all know those moments of weakness when all we want to do is pick up our phone and text our ex saying, "Hello, it's me" (Adele is bae). Having Tinder will make sure that in those moments of weakness, you can channel your energy towards swiping left or right on pictures of strangers instead of doing things you will regret later.

2. It will boost your ego.

If you ever feel like there is something wrong with you, or you don't think you are good looking, just open Tinder and let the matches come at you like positive vibes, boosting your ego to the point of no return.

3. It eliminates the small talk

Some people do not enjoy the thrill of the chase, and for centuries, there was nothing they could do to avoid that awkward beginning of a potential relationship. If this sounds like you, Tinder is the perfect way to get to the point and skip the small talk.

4. It allows you to practice your pick-up lines

With Tinder, not only can you use pick up lines and not have it haunt you if they fail, you can also test which ones work and which ones are based on strangers' responses to them.

5. It lets you meet people outside your social circle

It is difficult to have a life outside your friends group, school or college. Tinder allows you to meet people are not in your social circle and sometimes, if things don't seem like they will work out in terms of a relationship, you can just stay friends, meet their friends, and expand your social horizons.

6. It improves your analytical skills

You have to find out as much as you can about a stranger just by the little information they have put up on their Tinder profile. This means you will become quite observant, focusing on what is in the background when it comes to pictures and analyzing the implications of what they have shared in their bio.

7. It allows you to remain stable even if things don't work out

Since the person you meet on Tinder will probably not know your friends or family, if things don't work out between you guys, you don't have to face the horror of hanging out with them even after you break up or having people you know ask about them. It can be your little secret.

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.
