Living our lives through pictures and videos.

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.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
