How Snapchat Changed Our Lives

The mobile application Snapchat has been around for a couple years now and more people are getting on this social media platform, even companies are as well. It has definitely affected our lives fairly significantly in the time that it has been out. Our generation has become so dependent on smartphones and sharing our world through pictures and videos.

We sometimes forget about the moment we're in and suddenly you pull out your phone and think to yourself "Oh, let me take a Snapchat story of this so I can show all my friends how cool this is!" In doing so, you're spending more time worrying about sharing to the world a picture or video rather than taking it all in physically. You'll see it a whole lot more at concerts than anything else.

Also, posting Snapchat stories have become a way to prove that someone is actually where they say they are. I see it all the time where a group of friends will hang out but one person will be doing something else and lie and make sure that they don't post any "Snap stories." It is quite ridiculous how it has affected our actions in such a way.

This is just something to think about and how the mobile application really impacted our lives. It will be interesting to see what new innovation will potentially change our lives forever in a different way.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
