A Definitive Ranking Of The New iPhone Emojis

With the new iOS update, Apple has rolled out many additions to its standard emojis. After nearly a week of use, here is my list of the best of these conversation-enhancing emojis.

1.) The squirrel emoji. My college experience had so far been incompletely expressed without an emoji version of this furry creature. Now, I will be able to tell and illustrate to my friends about the next time that I see a squirrel eating chicken wings outside of an off-campus house.

2.) The nerd-face emoji. Let's face it, at a school like Penn, we all have those moments where we will geek out over one thing or another and this perfectly acknowledges those instances of undeniable nerdiness.

3.) The cheese emoji. As a lover of cheese, this emoji represents pretty much a food group for me. It also can be used for pointing about particularly cheesy lines in the conversation.

4.) The smiley face with jazz hands. I don't know if it is supposed to be hugging someone, or if those are jazz just adding more enthusiasm to the smiley face; but this smiley face is truly adorable.

5.) The pondering, chin-scratching emoji. Yes, thank you emoji creators. You understand that there needs to be an emoji for when you're still attempting to think of which emoji you want to use in the first place.

6.) The levitating businessman. Yes, this emoji seems to serve no purpose, but sometimes you just need a levitating businessman to lighten up the conversation a little bit.

7.) The middle finger emoji. Not that I plan on using this emoji, but it is nice to have that more than passive aggressive option available in case of emergency.

In the world of texting, emojis can sometimes be more effective than words in communicating the true sentiment of your message. And now with these new emojis, you can feel free to geek out, ponder, break out the jazz hands, and even levitate.

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.
