As an Android user, I find myself running into all sorts of issues. Everyone I know seems to have an iPhone and they all make fun of my old, tiny Android. Even my Galaxy was the butt of everyone's jokes before it broke, but maybe they all had a point. It's hard being an Android in a world of iPhones.

1. Group Chats Never Work Right

For some reason having an android in a group of iPhones always spells trouble for someone and it's only because your phone is in the group.

2. You Can't See All The Emojis

Androids have emojis, and depending on which Android you have, you might have most of them, but you'll never be able to see the newest iPhone emojis and you'll always feel left out. The question marks and empty boxes always leave you hanging.

3. Taking Pictures On iPhones Is Impossible

You feel like you need to take an extra summer course just to pull up the camera on your friend's phone.

4. You Have A Crazy Loyalty To Google

Google Chrome, Google Docs, Google everything! You can't imagine life without your Google account taking care of literally all of your information.

5. No One Ever Wants To Take Pictures With Your Phone

Because even you can't deny that iPhones have better camera quality.

6. Everyone Thinks You Should Just Get An iPhone

Every time you complain about your phone, the first suggestion you get is always to upgrade to an iPhone. (But you're super loyal to your Android)

7. You Can't Get Super Cool Phone Cases

Unless you have the latest Galaxy phone, Amazon is your only option for phone cases and they're as basic as they come.

8. People Make Fun Of Your Phone

Every time you pass off your phone for any reason, someone has something to say about it. "How do you type on this thing?! It's so small?!"

9. You Can't Use Facetime

This is the worst. It's so easy to talk to people face to face, but no one wants to video call on the Facebook messenger, so you always have to go old school with phone calls.

10. You're So Inconvenient

It would be so much easier if people could just Facetime you... or iMessage you... Or send you cool emojis.

11. You Have No Clue How To iPhone

They don't have a back button! How do you go back?!?

12. No One Has Any Faith In Your Phone

People seem to think that just because your camera sucks and you can't see emojis, you can't do anything with your phone, but trust me. My GPS works just fine guys.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
