Snapchat Update: Decoded

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.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
