What Your Favorite Snapchat Filters Say About You
queenslodge.blogspot.com

The year was 2016. People young and old became obsessed with their primitive electronic devices known as, "smart phones."

I've always found it entertaining to wonder how future societies may study and/or judge us. Honestly, future people or even present day haters who bemoan the influence current technology has on our culture can take a seat, because I think it's pretty rad (for the most part).

We communicate in ways that even people a decade ago wouldn't believe! For instance, five years ago (on this very month), we were given SNAPCHAT, which is now one of the most popular apps to-date.

It seems like everybody and their momma (not a figure of speech, I know a crazy amount of moms who frequent the app) has a Snapchat, and what better way to celebrate its' success than to attribute it to various personality types? Here's what your favorite snapchat filters say about YOU:

(Author's Note to internet trolls/fact police: Obviously, I am a human woman who has no way of knowing if the following judgements are accurate and understands no two people are alike etc. etc. , so just loosen up and have a little fun, ok?)


1. The Sponsored Filter(s)

From restaurants to the newest summer flick, these shameless plugs are fun for most everyone, but if they're your favorite filters, then you are a true fanboy/girl. Your heart skips a beat when you see a "Walking Dead" filter because you have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Daryl Dixon, and that's totally understandable. You might have even geeked out when you saw Slimer promoting the "Ghostbusters" reboot, because you've retweeted every Melissa McCarthy gif ever and you loath the fact that the movie was SERIOUSLY UNDERAPPRECIATED!


2. The Dog Filter

Haha on you if you thought I'd skip this one! But in all seriousness, ignore the Twitter haters and Mansplainers on this one, because if the dog filter is your favorite one, it in no way has any negative implications. If you absolultely adore the dog filter, you are a selfie QUEEN/KING! You are hesitant to let anyone borrow your phone because you're afraid they'll see your multitude of selfies, but honestly, just OWN IT! There's nothing wrong with feelin' yourself and manifesting that confidence into a mini passenger-side photoshoot a la Kendall Jenner is completely fine. YOU BETTER WERKK.


3. The Other Animal Filters

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict there is a 99% chance you're someone's mom or dad--if not, then you're the "mom" your group of friends. You just got a Snapchat maybe a week or two ago after your child and/or more tech-savvy friend taught you how to "do" it (a decision they would come to regret). You either send/post nothing for weeks at a time or flood your friends and families with snaps of your chipmuck-pitched voice. You are having too much fun with your on the "Chapsnap," "Snappapp," or whatever the kids call it. (And the Bee one is your FAAAVE!)


4. The Flower/Heart/Butterfly Crown Filter

If you love the crown filters, you are the coolest friend ever! You're the supportive friend; the one who makes sure no one feels left out during any group hangout. If any members of your squad are having a tough time, you're the one who will swoop in mid-netflix binge and send supportive snaps and texts. You may be a softie on the regular, but if anyone hurts any of your ride-or-dies, you go into full momma-bear mode! Of course, if there's any opportunity for a fierce group selfie, YOU TAKE IT!


5. The Face-Contortion Filter(s)

Without a doubt, you're a complete goofball if you love the chubby-cheeked filters! You've always had a penchant for comedy, and you aren't afraid to step in during an awkward conversation lull with a joke or even the occasional arm fart (an oldie, but goody). You might have even been voted class clown back in high school and to this day, you don't take that superlative for granted. Your cleverly scripted snaps are guarenteed to make someone smile during their lunch break, and that's a pretty amazing talent. GO YOU!


6. The Geofilters

Everyone knows at least one person who constantly sends you/posts geofilters on their Snapchat story. If you can't get enough of letting people know where in the world you are today, you are probably a travel-addict, a jet-setter, if you will. You love going to new places and exploring their culture, people and food! Humblebragging has become habitual to you, and your Instagram is most likely chock-full of wide city/landscape shots, food porn, and selfies in front of art walls. Hey,no hate on my end, you do your thing! (Low-key jealous of you, though.)


7. The "Draw Your Own" Filter

I think you already know where this is going but I'll drop my knowledge on you anyway! If you find yourself bored with the normal filters and frequently create your own, you're definitely the art aficionado of your friend group. As a creative-type, you frequently doodle whenever you get the chance and find excitement in each new graffiti wall you find. Your preferred hangout is a quiet coffeehouse because you love coffee and the renewed energy it brings to your original way of seeing the world. (P.S. Jared Leto is an angel and you should add him on Snapchat.)


Did I absolutely nail you guys with my Snapspicions, or did I get it completely wrong? Feel free to let me know!

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.
