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.

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.
