The Pros and Cons of Snapchat

You would think that an app that helps take pictures at parties would be the best thing in the entire world. WRONG. I believe that Snapchat should never be able to be used while at a concert, party or any type of social gathering.

First of all, Snapchat was created so you could take the most hideous selfies and your BFF whom you sent it to could not judge you. But when you're drunk and post an extremely ugly selfie on your Story on accident, there's a problem.

Secondly, you wake up the next morning to see the God-awful number of Snaps you put up. I will admit, mine has come close to 500 seconds. It's absolutely horrible because then you have to re-live your night in fear that you posted something horrible and it has to be deleted. It's a never-ending cycle!

Thirdly, you always have to look good for the opposite sex on Snapchat. You have to look the best you can be no matter what, which is super stressful at times. I take so long to get ready at times just so I can look so amazing on Snapchat. It's super hard for us!

Snapchat is an amazing thing as well because I able to send some of the funniest things in the world to my best friends at Miami of Ohio and Virginia which is always a plus. It's certainly hard being away from them, but Snapchat has helped me in so many ways.

Snapchat defines how we look at ourselves in today's world and will always be that way. It helps me create the most amazing memories with some of my friends at parties, as well as some really ratchet moments that always happen when I go out.

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.
