Messaging Do's And Dont's

Sometimes people are more comfortable talking through social media. Nowadays, texting, Facebooking and other types of social networking can leave a conversation feeling lost, confusing or even annoying. And let's not forget creepy.

In an article about the do's and don'ts of instant messaging your crush, there are many things to consider before hitting send.

What category do you fall under? Look at your messages. Are you a do, or a don't? Bum BUM BUM!

My examples:

To give you an up close and personal look at my digital social life, I am going to share with you my experiences with the do's and don'ts of texting your crush.

Not only will I show you what I have written, but I will also share what someone sent through my Facebook Messenger. I am the dark blue conversation bubble. The do's are examples of my crush conversation. The don'ts are examples of the guy who had tried talking to me often.


1. Do be silly and have fun! Flirting should be fun, right?


2. Don't overuse emojis. After a while, the faces start to look creepier and creepier.


3. Do start a conversation. (If you want to talk, just talk.) Share ideas, likes, dislikes and everything in between. But be careful not to share too much, you'll want to do more of that in person.


4. Don't keep messaging. If someone doesn't respond after the first two, they probably don't want to talk. Some things are better left unsaid.


5. Do care! Share thoughts, be motivating! There are two parts to a conversation, you know.


6. Don't be creepy. Seriously, just don't.


These examples display two different guys. A do and a don't. It is important to make sure that you are communicating effectively and efficiently. Think about what you are posting before you click send.

However, not every emoji, question or picture falls under don't. It really just depends on your perspective. Do you like the person who is crushing on you? Or, do you try to avoid these people? But remember, be careful. Sometimes the don'ts are hard to get rid of.

Look out for the do's and don'ts!

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.

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.
