A Thank You Letter To My iPhone

I can't imagine life without you.

Dear iPhone,

I really don’t know what my life would be like without you in it. I mean if I didn’t have you, how would I be able to Snapchat a picture of the extreme breakfast I just cooked, or take selfies with my friends, or have Google in the palm of my hand to answer any question I might need answered immediately. How would I entertain myself while waiting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, or sitting by myself on a plane?

You allow me to have endless apps for paying for things, so even when I left my wallet at home I can still buy some Dunkin Donuts. I can play pointless games that are only popular for a few months like Words with Friends, Candy Crush, Farmville and whatever the latest game trend is. You give me up to the minute updates on all my sports teams so I know if my favorite player has scored, made a big play or gotten hurt. You allow me to check up on social media as often as I want to so I know what all my friends, family, and frenemies are up to. You allow me to send emails to my professor telling them I won’t be in class so that I don’t have to get up and walk across the room to my computer. You allow me to set six alarms within seven minutes of each other so that if I don’t wake up to the first one, five more will follow no matter what I say.

Thanks for having a great camera. How else would I take pictures of the best meals I have ever eaten, document adventures with friends, and remember nights I probably shouldn’t? And thanks for letting me screenshot things so that I can share the latest gossip with all of my friends in the group chat.

Thanks for being there to play the best music for sad nights cuddling with the dog, for pump up music at the gym, and for pregame music before going out with friends.

Thank you for not shattering into 1,000 pieces when I drop you for the sixteenth time in one day. And for not blowing up even when I leave you on the table by the pool in the blazing summer sun all day.

I know this is pathetic, but I really am thankful for you. You’re always there when I need you, with the exception of when you are dead or I have misplaced you or AT&T has terrible coverage, but I don’t think those things are your fault.

Love,

Your owner

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
