The Truth About The VSCO App

It’s time to turn the saturation up on this app and put it in the spotlight

The Truth About The VSCO App
Bella Moulthrop

VSCO. VSCO is an up and coming editing app that teens and creative adults are using today to not just edit their photos they want to post. Whether it's choosing between A6 and C1, making a DSCO (a boomerang), or just trying to be a 'basic vsco user', there's so much more that this app has to offer.

Now with the app VSCO, people have the ability to post whatever content they want. With the simple feed just like a regular social media app like Instagram or Twitter, scrolling through aesthetically pleasing photos has become a norm for most.

One feature that I love about this app is that you can't see who other people are following or who people follow. You are only able to see your own content followers and who you choose to follow. This feature allows it to be a more subtle social media app because there are no commenting, and likes, the person that posted the photo is only able to see the amount of likes and republishes.

I love this feature because it allows others to not be as self conscious about how many likes they get or have it be a game of who has the most followers. This app has a 'chill' aspect that other social media's don't offer.

You are the creator. Whatever you post on this site makes you the creator of all the content you choose to publish. Some people try to create a theme or just post whatever their heart desires. This app gives people the power to bring out the creative side in people by simply just applying a filter on a photo and maybe turning the saturation up +.5 or the grain +.7.

Another one of my favorite things about this app is that you can really see a person's life through their vsco. Since there's no socially acceptable level to how much or little you post, the sky 's the limit. Scrolling through a users VSCO is a timeline of any moment they chose to capture, and every picture within it has its own story.

One feature that I also adore is using VSCO journal. This portion of the app allows the users to create a blog like post and compile several pictures and add captions to them. Making a VSCO journal makes it easier to post all your pictures from one time in one place, or post several pictures from say a year and compile them to reminisce you're year that you had with captions to explain every picture in place.

Republishing someone else's photo on this app is just like retweeting something on twitter. If a person republishes a picture then the picture shows up on their feed just like sharing a picture that someone else has posted. This gives the social media app an aspect of sharing without a hassle.

Whether it's a beach picture, your coffee in the morning, a netflix quote, or a candid photo of your best friend. I have found that VSCO is the friendliest social media app there is.

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.
