Snapchat Update: Decoded

If you haven't updated Snapchat yet, I have breaking news: there are now strange, confusing emoji's by your snap contacts.

WHAAA? My reaction exactly. In January, the app's update took away the 'best friend' feature. This was a devastating blow to many users, as seeing whom other people were best friends with, was VERY entertaining. Many users took to Twitter, Facebook, and other social media outlets to voice their frustration. We're guessing that Snapchat took note of this, because their update a few weeks introduced a new concept ~eMoJiS~!!!

What do these emoji's do, exactly? We don't know. Ok, just kidding - we've finally figured it out. There will either be one of 6 emojis showing next to your snapchat contacts - a yellow heart, a grimacing face, a smiling face, a face with sunglasses, a smirking face, or fire. Here are the more in depth explanations-

💛 Yellow Heart — You're #1 best friends with each other.
You send the most snaps to this person, and they send the most snaps to you.

😬 Grimacing Face — Your #1 best friend is their #1 best friend.
You send the most snaps to the same person that they do...awk

😊 Smiling Face — Another best friend of yours. You send this person a lot of snaps. They aren't your #1 best friend, but they're up there.

😎 Face With Sunglasses — One of your best friends is one of their best friends. You send a lot of snaps to someone they also send a lot of snaps to.

😏 Smirking Face — You are one of their best friends …but they are not a best friend of yours. You don't send them many snaps, but they send you a lot.

🔥 Fire — You are on a Snapstreak! You've snapped this person every day, and they have snapped you back. Increases with number of consecutive days.

There you have it friends, Snapchat emojis, explained. Not sure if we love or hate it yet, still deciding.

It's an 'okay' update, but Snapchat-we just want our best friends back. That's all, thanks.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
