Since their release, emojis have taken the world by storm.

While more conservative elders may claim that emojis are detrimental incorporations to the English language, it is surely hard to deny that these captivating figures have not sparked a unparalleled language of their own. In fact, it is not solely teens and young adults who are avidly using this form of communication, parents and grandparents have now hopped aboard this trend, sending their younger loved ones every emoji under the sun as a response.

Being that emojis are now deeply integrated in society, it is essential that improvements be made to this very basic form of articulation, and with World Emoji Day approaching on July 17, new advancements have been reported that can now make this possible.

It has been announced that The Unicode Emoji Subcommittee has approved eleven new female characters that support gender equality.

These emojis will feature women in the professions of: rockstars, teaching, biology, computer technology, construction, agriculture, culinary arts and medicine.

This improvement seeks to lessen the disparities in gender that were previously evident in various emojis. Whereas before, there were only male basketball players and weightlifters, now users with be able to chose between using male or female characters.

Additionally, individuals can now also have the option to change the skin tone of more characters.

In an effort to further eradicate any inequalities, there are currently demands to release disabled people and athlete emojis as well.

With so much violence and hate ensuing in the world, it is imperative that large companies do all they can to promote love and equality amongst all human beings.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons.

When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.
