Why Snapchat is the Best App

Can you throw up a rainbow on Instagram? I didn't think so.

Why Snapchat is the Best App
SoKrispyMedia

Every time I open my phone, I find my finger gravitating towards the bright yellow app sporting a white ghost. You guessed it- Snapchat. Snapchat is a great way to share your everyday life with your community. The boys at SoKrispyMedia show us how snapchat is done:

1. Dress up at the touch of your hands

Being a girl growing up on Disney princesses and theatre, I love dressing up and transforming myself into something else. With snapchat filters, you have the ability to transform yourself at any point in time. I can be barfing rainbows at any point in time.

2. Risky messages are only temporary

Are you debating professing your love to your long time crush? A text message won't do, it's too permanent. But, with snapchat, you have the ability to send your message for one second, so they don't have a permanent token of your love (if things don't end well).

3. Face swapping = life

Face swapping is taking the world by storm. You can see what you would look like with your face on your dog, and vice versa. And who wouldn't want that?

4. Geotags

Instead of texting all of your contacts about the cool place your visiting, you can just slap on a geotag to your snapchat and add it to your story, and your friends all know about your cool adventures. Greetings from New York!

5. Snapchat stories are the perfect cure to boredom

Long bus rides, Doctor waiting rooms, getting to class early. All things that need to be filled with just a small dose of entertainment. And what better than getting a glimpse into all of your friends lives?

6. Window into your friend's lives

And on that note, snapchat provides a window into the lives of you and all of your friends. You can be riding the crazy roller coaster your friend put on their story or enjoying the humor of you're funny friend pulling a prank on their teacher.

Snapchat is an excellent and entertaining form of entertainment. Whether it be an exciting video of your trip to Italy or a puppy dog face, snapchat is an revolutionary app.

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.
