People Are Talking About The New iPhone SE
Martin Hajek

Greg Joswiak, the VP of Product Marketing for Apple, says, “Some people simply love smaller phones. And the four inch phone is often their first iPhone. Some people asked and pleaded with us. So we’re calling it the iPhone SE. Our most powerful four-inch phone ever.”

This statement seems to be true. People are loving the new, smaller iPhone.

Maura Anderson, a freshman at Ohio University, is all about it. She said that she has a 6S and loves it, but still thinks that it is too big. This model of the iPhone was unveiled on March 21, along with a new iPad Pro, and new versions of Apple Watch bands.

This new model of the iPhone has similar traits of its older generation, the 5S, which was released three years ago in 2013. It has a four-inch screen, a metal body, touch ID fingerprint scanning, a flush camera (which the newer generations do not have) and it still comes in black, white, rose gold and gold. Although these external factors are more similar to the 5S, the internal characteristics are more similar to the 6S. It has double the processing power of the 5S, four times the graphic performance and overall a better battery life. In addition, it will be using Apple's A9 processor, an NFC chip to support Apple Pay and a better 12 megapixel camera.

One of the biggest marketing points of this iPhone is it's size and price. The Apple marketing team says that about 60 percent of iPhone users still haven't upgraded to a 6/6S meaning they still have the smaller generation of iPhone. Many of these people haven't upgraded due to the size of the 6/6S, Audrey York, freshman at Miami University says "I'm glad I won't have to change the size of my phone which was a huge turnoff with the 6/6S. Its inevitable that I'l need a new phone and I wouldn't choose anything other than an iPhone so its nice not to feel forced into an expensive phone." This is how many people feel especially concerning the price range.

These new iPhone SE models only cost about $145 during the pre-order, compared to the 6/6S models which are costing about $300 to 350 depending on the amount of data you purchase. Pre-orders start on March 24, 2016 in the United Kingdom. Release dates within the United States have not come out yet, but everyone eagerly awaits the pre-order.

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.
