This New Instagram Update Is Everything
Rebecca Jarrett

Have you ever lost an Instagram photo moments before posting it, after meticulously editing it for longer than you’d care to admit? Or have you ever just wished that you could save a picture that you want to post in the future? Well, thanks to the newest update, now you can!

A few weeks ago, Instagram tested a feature that would allow users to save their drafts. After many updates that have been more annoying than helpful, this feature promised to be a refreshing change! However, it wasn’t meant to be just yet. Various Instagram users reported that they were able to see this feature as an option, but that their drafts did not actually save; it was just a test run.

However, the option is now really available, and it is EVERYTHING. To use the feature, just choose your photo, apply all your edits, set your caption, and then hit the back arrow in the upper left corner. This will take you to a screen that will allow you to save your drafts!

Now you can edit your photos and set your caption all in advance. Even better, you can go back and make changes to your saved edits! Gone are the days of accidentally closing Instagram while writing your caption and losing all of your painstaking work. Gone are the days of thinking of the perfect caption in the moment, only to have it totally evade you when you finally post the picture.

So what’s next for Instagram? First updates took it the way of Facebook, changing the order in which photos appear in your newsfeed. Then they went the way of Snapchat, almost blatantly copying the Snapchat Stories feature. Are they going to restrict captions to 140 characters, add a filter feature to Stories, or allow you to repost someone’s photo to your own page without using an outside app?

Whatever the case, I think we can all agree that this new feature has each and every one of us feeling #blessed.

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.
