How Snapchat Will Take Over The Universe

Do it for the snap!

How Snapchat Will Take Over The Universe
Kate Compton Photography

Okay. Think about the last snap chat you sent to your BFF before heading home from the bar—a not so innocent rendition of what you hope that hottie with the body is going to do to you later. The last snap you sent to that cute guy from chem lab two semesters ago—not enough liquid courage for another booty call but just enough for some provocative cleavage. Or the one you sent to your ex BF from freshman year that just can’t seem to let go—I can’t even with that one.

“Nothing ever really gets deleted”—yeah that’s a real thing according to the DailyMail.com. That magic little cloud you save your music too also holds any all data sent and received in the iWorld. Which is exactly why the inventor of Snapchat is a genius. Raw. Sheer. Genius.

Even though your BFF Jill wasn’t quick enough to grab a screenshot (thanks for the newest update btw), that wonderfully crafted selfie-but-really-snapping-the-man-candy-stage-left didn’t just disappear after 10 seconds. It’s floating somewhere in the cloud just waiting for Evan Spiegel to bring it back down to blackmail you for a whopping $3 billion (or more). Only a genius could create such an addicting app that 16.5 million people have been using since September of 2011.

So far that, I hate (and slightly adore) you, Evan Spiegel.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
