What Your Emoji Says About You
WhatsApp

Everyone has a favorite emoji they like to use for an added effect on a tweet, posting a facebook status, or texting a friend. Emojis add so much more emphasis and emotion to sentences that would end up just running flat without them. That one emoji that always ends up in your recent emojis section is your prime symbol. The emoji that represents you as a human being (not really but pretty close). But what does that mean?

Why is it that people tend to use the same emoji over and over again? Simple science would say that it’s because you display the same type of energy for all of your interactions via text message and social media, and simple science might be right on that. So what does your top emoji say about you?

The sunglasses emoji would suggest most of your conversations point towards happier themes such as hanging out with friends and getting food. You aren’t stressed about anything because the world's all good.

Depending on what context you are using with this emoji you are either saying goodbye to a lot of people all the time or you are telling people off all the time. In the first scenario you’re a pretty friendly person who has a lot of friends. In the second scenario you’re a person who HAD a lot of friends. Either way you have a pretty strong personality, and you either attract people or repel people.

If you’re using this emoji constantly you probably don’t sleep at night. People who use the sleepy emoticon tend to be busy people that use every second of their night thinking deeply and their days getting things done.

Any one of the 14 unbroken variations of the heart emoji have a great impression. Most people who use this emoji a lot are just expressing their love all over text messages and social media. Hopefully they keep using the heart emoji and it doesn’t evolve into a broken heart.

The kissy face is a toss up. If this is your top emoji, good for you, but the rest of the world might say you’re flirting a little too hard. It’s good to be expressing your love for someone, but if you’re constantly texting your friends into the friendzone, it’s time to move on to a new past time.


This emoji is the favorite of many reckless teenage girls. A lot of people using this emoji are trying to get turnt a little too often/ are actually possessed. If this is one of your top emojis you may need to reevaluate your weekend decisions.

The hardcore crying emoji falls under the category of people going through hard times. Whether it be someone who died or you broke a nail, the crying emoji represents your constant sadness. Try to get this emoji out of your top list if you can, try looking on the bright side.

The poop emoji is a favorite among all users. Using this one too often makes you pretty light hearted, or you have a horrible self image and consider yourself, a poop emoji.

There’s lots of controversy on the meaning of this emoji. So if you use this emoji as an overly large smile you find a lot things to be happy about in your day to day life. If you use this as a nervous type of smile, you need to calm down and not be so high strung.

If you’ve got the two dancing girls as your top you evidently have a very close friend in your life. You use this emoji very often to express your friendship with each other and by doing this are generally a happier person because you have found your person.

The shocked emoji is a special one. A person going through multiple surprising events gets this one in their top emoji list. These surprises aren't necessarily bad ones, but definitely interesting ones. You express these surprises widely which means you probably love drama.

Finally, the emoji that’s on 90% of users top list. The cry laughing emoji is one of the most used emojis since people use it to describe not only extremely funny situations but extremely frustrating situations. It’s completely normal to express with this emoji on a daily basis. It’s good to have plenty of funny instances in your life, but sometimes this emoji means you’re a little nosey, because most of the time you’re cry laughing at someone else’s misfortune. But in any scenario 90% of emoji lovers find this one at the very top of their list, so you're not alone!

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.
