I Want Bixby But Refuse To Give Up My Iphone

Why is this even an issue? How is Apple allowing Samsung one up Siri?

I Want Bixby But Refuse To Give Up My Iphone

I think most iPhone users would agree that Siri really sucks and is not helpful in the slightest. Yet, ( and I can't believe I'm saying this) I have a growing jealousy of my boyfriend's Samsung Galaxy and the virtual assistant Bixby.

I have spent hours scouring the App Store to find anything remotely close to the amazing alarm clock feature that Bixby has on the Galaxy phones and sadly, found nothing that works like Bixby.

Imagine, you awake from your slumber to soft music while a gentle voice says good morning, tells you the forecast for the day, and then reads off the top few headlines for the morning. Amazing.

As someone who hates waking up, I don't really mind this Bixby thing softly informing me of the weather while I lay there waking up. It's not harsh and abrupt like most alarm settings available on the iPhone. I mean there are softer options, but nothing gets the job done like

This feature is honestly the only thing I am interested in on the Samsung Galaxy, so not enough for me to give up my love of iPhone. Yet, the only thing Siri is good for is making jokes with her and making her call you funny names. I've never successfully utilized Siri for anything helpful. Now, here I sit, jealous of a Samsung phone.

Apple, do you see the problem with this? How can I be loyal to the brand when I can't find anything even close to the Bixby alarm feature for myself? Granted, I could pay 2 or 3 dollars and have something just as nice, but I refuse to do that too. Bixby is free on the Galaxy phone, so why would I pay to be like Samsung? Apple should just be like Samsung on its own.

I guess this is also a plea to any app creators out there, not just Apple. Make me a weather reporting alarm clock app that is free and I will be satisfied with life. Please. I need it. I refuse to let this coerce me into leaving the Apple life and turning Android. That would just be awful.

I want an alarm clock that talks to me nicely and gives me the weather updates in a pleasant voice, is that too much to ask?

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.
