Is the iPhone 6s Worth Going Crazy Over?

Apple users, it may be time for an upgrade...or perhaps not. As fall tradition goes, Apple dropped the newest addition to the iPhone smartphone series, the iPhone 6s, which although looking extremely similar to its predecessor, has new features.

The iPhone 6s's star feature is its 3D Touch. The new iPhones are able to recognize and perform actions based on the amount of pressure applied with a tap. The phone also comes with motion wallpapers and a newer rose gold color. Besides the stated, iPhone 6s also comes with improvements to some of it's previous features such as picture quality and Touch ID, among other performance improvements.

So the question that is burning in everyone's head—is it worth spending another hundred dollars for? In my opinion, unless you have an older generation iPhone, I would save your money. The phone is extremely similar in many ways to its predecessor and the improvements are not worth ditching it just yet. If you are a fan of taking better quality photos and the like, the quality is better, of course, on the newer phone. However, if it were up to me, for that feature I would stick with an iPhone 6 Plus, which an cater to both size and quality of pictures (although it is a lot more of a heavy load to carry for those not used to a bigger phone.) The 3D Touch is a newer feature that may appeal to fans of the iPad philosophy. The touch and pressure feature is neat, but it isn't essential if you're an everyday iPhone user who just uses your phone for everyday purposes. Unless you are dying to have the feature (which you have survived without it until now, so you don't) I would hold off.

The nifty little features might appeal to hardcore fans, but to the average user, it isn't worth the switch just yet. If it were up to me, I would wait until the iPhone 7 comes out, which is more than likely promised to feature something completely new and worth it. As a current iPhone 5 user, if I had the option to switch, I would go with the iPhone 6 or just wait for the 7.

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.
