Because I need at least five ways to express any given emotion.

Emojis have become a core part of texting and communicating in the 21st-century, and are a big part of pop culture at the moment.

There are dozens of pillows, phone cases, stickers, clothing, and even a movie centered entirely around them. It's remarkable, really, the range of emotion just one little yellow circle can express, and for the most part, Apple has an emoji for nearly every situation.

With the latest iOS update, Apple introduced dozens more emojis into our repertoire, but it still isn't enough. So, here are some emojis I think we need to see in the next iOS update:

1. New dog emojis.

Let's be real for a second: dogs are adorable and we could always use more of them. Yeah, we have a poodle emoji and a generic dog emoji, but who wouldn't love to see a tiny little pug face pop up on their screen? Or yellow lab? Or even a chihuahua? I rest my case.

2. Different-colored balloons.

Ever since IT came out not too long ago, I can't help but associate the regular red balloon emoji with that walking nightmare of a clown. Don't get me wrong, I like to be festive and I like to be scary, but I would also like to have the option of being only one at a time. Even if they just gave us new balloon emojis in the other two primary colors it'd be appreciated.

3. Popular social network icons.

Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't done this yet. It seems like the kind of thing they'd jump right onto. Think of how quick it'd be to answer the question "where did you see that at?" with a mini Facebook logo.

4. New gemstones.

As I type this article, the only gemstone-related emoji is the diamond- which is nice, clean, classy even, but I'd still like to see more. Maybe it's the narcissist in me, but I'd love for Apple to make each of the birthstones an emoji.

5. Bring back the old gun emoji.

Yes, I'm still bitter about them changing the old gun emoji into the green little squirt gun it is today. If we can have a knife and a bomb emoji, why can't we have a gun emoji? They didn't even make it into a fun looking squirt gun; It just looks like the ones you get from the dollar store that break two hours later.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
