You Can't Zoom On Instagram

Parents Technologically Challenged ?

Parents in todays technology is true entertainment. Our generation has grown up with technology and figuring out how it works. As kids we were the starting generating of kids toys that were electronic. Our parents on the other hand have been raised old school...no phone, no computers. Watching them today can be sight to see. Most parents do certain action so you know that they are technically challenged.

5. Using Siri to text.

Parents do this quite often to text. If your mom is anything life mine, she will hit the microphone but and yell "WHERE ARE YOU", as if Siri didn't hear her...

4.Trying to zoom in on Instagram.

You may be showing one of your parents a picture of an old friend or some cool food you found and they try to zoom. Everyone knows you can't zoom on Instagram. Or even worse they like the picture...Should send help.

3. Holding the phone up close and having to readjust it because they can't see.

Most parents do this more times then not. You see them grab the phone with 2 hands and squint at the picture then bring it out in front of them again to readjust the picture... Personal Favorite.

2. When one family member gets a new phone and the parents assume they know as much a the manual.

Parents come in to your room with a question about an email...Okay not a problem. Then it becomes two and three and before you know it they are asking you why Apple is an apple. Just keep it simple for them.

1. "Accidentally" hanging up on you.

The red button is there for a reason...

So If you can agree that your parents do any of the actions of above, just know you aren't alone. Most parents will still keep coming to you to ask questions just be patience and slow with them. We are the masters and they re the grasshoppers.

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.
