If Literary Characters Had Tinder Profiles
Casey Ouellette

By now, it's likely that you've either heard of Tinder, or have a Tinder yourself. With this new way of "dating" in the 21 century, it's hard not to wonder how fictional characters might have used this app if they had the chance. Here are some Tinder bios from your favorite literary characters:

Romeo

“Looking for my one true love, the kind of girl who I would rather die for than live without. If you are that girl, swipe right.

P.S. I’m not too young for this app."

Mr. Darcy

“This app is so dumb. I’m only on here because my friend made this profile. Most of you girls on here are boring anyway. Swipe right to prove me wrong.”

Jay Gatsby

“Downloaded this app to get over my ex, but I don’t think it’s working. I still have some of her clothes. OK, I think I’ve already said too much.

Swipe right to come to one of my famous parties.”

Katniss Everdeen

“Not looking for love, looking for supporters against the Capitol. Swipe right to help win this fight. #DownWithSnow”

Lizzie Bennet

“Pretty. Single. In desperate need of a husband.

Please ignore that. Mom wrote it. She also made me download this app.”

Hester Prynne

“My whole town hates me, so I live by myself with my daughter. Swipe right only if you want to risk being hated by the whole town too.”

Scarlett O’Hara

“Looking for a real man, preferably one with money. If you are that man, please swipe right.”

Ponyboy Curtis

“Hey girl, swipe right if you’re looking for something that’s not gonna be so serious. #StayGolden”

Boo Radley

“Single. Living in my parents’ house. No pic because I can’t show my face. If you swipe right and want to meet up first you need to leave something in the tree outside my house, so I can make sure you’re legit.”

Augustus Waters

"I downloaded this app as a metaphor. I downloaded it, but I’m not giving it the power. Do you get it? Swipe right if you do.”

Charlie

"I know that there’s a lot of pain in the world, but I’m here to not feel anything. To feel infinite. Swipe right if you just want to figure out life with me. I’m warning you though; there’s this girl at my school whom I’m kind of in love with so we may end up just being friends.”

Holden Caulfield

“Young kid looking for cheap and easy love. And someone to get me into bars.”

Oedipus

“Swipe right if you’re my mom.”

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
