Reasons You Should Hate Pinterest

Even though all those pins look like good ideas.

Majority of girls can have at least an hour long conversation about Pinterest. It is possibly one of the best apps that has been invented. There is an endless amount of ideas a person can find on Pinterest ranging from food, DIY projects, to planning your wedding. Pinterest has the ability to hold a person's attention span for several hours. Also, Pinterest gives a person the confidence to bake or make anything they see on there, not necessarily the best thing in the world.

1. The ability to make anything

Majority of the time when I get on Pinterest, I see a cute canvas to make and think to myself,"I can replicate this exact canvas." So then you go to Michael's to buy the canvas, paint and paint brushes to make this cute canvas. Then I think to myself, "Boy was I wrong about that idea". Then you also see this recipe to make these adorable bunnies out of rolls. That seems to be a fail as well. Some of these ideas that I have seen must have been done by professionals because quite a few of ideas I have seen seem to fail.

2. Capturing your time for hours

There are so many things to see when on PInterest. I am pretty sure, if you can think of it, it has to be on there. There is endless things to look up from what you need to make a certain recipe, a popular baby name, popular outfits for the summer, quotes from your favorite "Grey's Anatomy" episode to the best exercises for your waist. I believe that if you can think of something, you will find it plus 10 million other ideas to go along with it. I can sit on the couch looking at Pinterest for hours on end and leave the app on something completely different than what I originally got on there for.

3. Private boards

I am pretty sure that most women that have a Pinterest have a secret board dedicated to their dream wedding. I am not going to lie, I have a secret board from my dream gown to the location of the wedding. As young girls, we pretty much have dreamed of that special day and now we have the ability to look at ideas of what we want and "pin" them. Maybe even have a secret board for their future children. They can look up and dream how the room will look like, what the name will be, decorations for the room, etc. Pinterest has given people the option to dream for that special day in their life.

This popular app has given people so many ideas for almost anything you can think of. A person can basically find an idea for anything on here to kill time or make. I love Pinterest and hope that it is around for quite some time because it is a very helpful app for myself and probably many other people to use.

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.

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.
