8 Reasons Snapchat Is Taking Over

Why do we spend so much time on social media? Why do we care how we look? Our ancestors never had this technology and they were fine without it, we on the other hand would collapse. With all of the new filters, Snapchat is taking over lives by storm. Here are some reasons why:

1. You want people to think you have an amazing/ interesting life.

2. Spending hours on picking the right filter so you can send it to the boy you think is cute.

3. The new filters are so entertaining and are always changing!

It is time to check on which filter was added today!

4. Screenshots.

I think this speaks for itself, that notification we get makes our stomachs drop.

5. People think it is cool to Snapchat their speed while driving.

People have actually died from this. It is not safe and there should be no Snapchatting and driving or even texting.

6. Trying to get your pet's face recognized with the filters.

7. The new update that has everyone clicking on stories they didn't want to watch.

No thank you, I didn't want to watch her story at the moment but thanks for the option, not.

8. Procrastination.

People love to snap events from their entire day which can distract others.

Without social media the world would be so different. There would be no competition between teens with the amount of followers and likes they get. There would be no retweets or Snapchats. There would be no sitting there trying to get your pet to cooperate and get the filter on. There would be no cyberbullying. But there would also be a lack of communication between peers.

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.
