10 Struggles When Your iPhone Breaks: A Brief Explanation Of The Hardships Of Using Your Android Backup Phone
ILikeWallpaper

I somehow broke my iPhone and temporarily had to use my old android for a few days while I waited for a new phone I ordered to come. Wow was it a struggle. I am aware that even having the opportunity to have a cell phone is a luxury that not everyone has, but that doesn't take away from the inconveniences that I had over the few days with my back up phone. Here are the 10 struggles of using an android after you have had an iPhone.

1. Did my message deliver?

Did the person I am texting get my message or is it lost somewhere out there in text message no man's land.

2. Did you read my message?

Not really sure if you're ignoring me or if that message is still in that text message limbo where no one knows what happens to them.

3. Lack of FaceTime.

I can't see my friends' faces while I talk to them, what ever will I do!?

4. Weird Emojis.

This is weird, I don't like it. Where is the ___ emoji? It probably doesn't even exist on here.

5. Group texts come through weird, or not at all.

Hi friends, remember I'm still here. It's more inconvenient to talk to me, but I'm still here.

6. No one has a charger that fits your phone.

"Does anyone have an android charger...?"

7. It makes weird Android sounds.

What is that sound? Oh it's my phone.

8. People don't know when I am ignoring them.

I love having my reads on because people know when I am intentionally not responding and that I have either seen what they said and they know that as confirmation or that I have seen what they said and simply do not feel the need to reply.

9. Snapchat doesn't work right.

Snapchat was made for iPhones and that is where it works best. My Snaps won't send/load!


10. But the feeling of relief when you can finally switch back to an iPhone.

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.
