NY Times

At this point, it is pretty obvious, technology has taken over many of our lives. It is almost rare to stroll down Main St. without seeing people glued to their phone screens. What is so fascinating about those little handheld devices that cost an arm and a leg, but worth every penny you might wonder. More importantly, what can someone possible text about all day?

Behind emojis

It is almost impossible to read a text message without coming across an emoji. What started off as just a simple smiley face has since evolved into a “mega-moji.” Now emojis come in different shapes and sizes to summarize almost any conversation.

Emojis are useful because instead of spelling out a word, textures can replace that word with a picture thus communicating the same idea. For example, the word “pizza” then becomes “🍕.” This speeds up texting so the tester can focus on really what matters… replying to even more text messages.

Emojis are used to communicate thoughts, feelings, mood and the list in constantly growing. If you want to know what someone was talking about, there is no need to read long and sometimes boring conversations. Simply click the recently used emojis on their keyboard and a list of recently used emojis will appear. Based on the types of emojis used, it is easy to decipher what that conversation was about.

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.

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.
