The Guide To Surviving Apple's New Emoji Update

As some of you may or may not know Apple's new iOS 9.1 update includes 184 new emoji updates. That's right folks, our emoji vocabulary just expanded to exponential possibilities. In the midst of this chaos, I've decided to make a guide to help us novices use these new emojis to the full potential of their awesomeness. With that, let us begin with a few of my favorites.

The Nerd

Finally! An emoji for my people! This emoji is obviously meant for casual conversation. Netflix binge*nerd face, just saw a cute squirrel *nerd emoji, reading some Jane Austen *nerd emoji. Really, the possibilities are endless.

The Eye Roll

I'm all about this sass. This will most likely become the most used emoji in my conversations with my boyfriend. I noticed you didn't call me on your drive home from school *eye roll emoji. #highmaintenance4life

The Thinking Face

Trying to decide what's for dinner? What time to start that movie? To swipe left or right? This emoji's got you.

The Detective

When it comes time for some major Facebook stalking, this emoji is the perfect fit. We feel like freaking Sherlock Holmes when we uncover something in our best friend's sketchy boyfriend's page, and finally we have an emoji to express our excitement. Sketchy boyfriends everywhere beware.

The Middle Finger

Not sure why this has been one of the top requested emojis, but hey, y'all, it's here! Why do I have a feeling this is going to be a regular image in my roommate group chat?

The Taco

Also one of the top requested emojis. I mean, I love Mexican food as much as the next girl, but not sure I get the hype. The only acceptable way to use this emoji is to have it followed by a thousand hearts and a trip to Taco Bell.

The Unicorn

The most majestic of all the emojis. This can be used in place of the princess emoji. Requesting your man to bring you some pizza *insert unicorn emoji, needing a little love *insert unicorn emoji, describing your beautiful self *insert unicorn emoji.

Finally, I leave you with the most perplexing of all the new emojis. What does he mean? No one is sure. Is he a genie, or does he represent something larger like the power of the male-dominated workforce? Either way, you can throw this guy in the middle of any conversation to confuse the heck out of the person you are texting.

Happy texting, friends!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
