Snapchat Streaks Are Valuable, Despite Popular Belief

Recently, online, it has become a popular opinion that having a lot of Snapchat streaks is pointless, but I disagree. I think that the creation of social media is a great way to keep in contact with people that mean a lot to you, but that you don't see daily.

I find it especially useful for keeping in contact with high school friends. I also have friends from camp that I still keep in touch with over Snapchat who don't live anywhere near me and whom I never get to see. A lot of my high school friends did not end up going to the same college as me, and even if they did, for the most part, we went our separate ways. That doesn't mean I don't care about these people. In fact, it is the opposite, and I still like to keep in contact and see what they are up to.

I think that Snapchat is better than text because it is more casual and less formal, which means you get to see their daily lives without really having to have something to say. Sometimes I don't have anything to comment on, so there really isn't anything to text, but just to send a quick picture and update keeps you in the know.

I just recently hit a 1000 day streak with my best guy friend from high school. Every day I still get to see what he is up to, who he is hanging out with, and just how he is doing. I think having a Snapchat streak can make you feel like you are involved in someone's daily life and that you are still in the loop, instead of having to FaceTime or hang out every few months and have to catch up all then. I like to know along the way what is going on with friends so I can be there for them and with them as life goes on. I don't like feeling disconnected from those who are important to me.

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.
