And this is just the beginning.

Apple released yet another iOS update, sporting makeovers for just about every popular characteristic in the iPhone design. Even if you don't have access to 3D touch features, iOS 10 is packed full of new things to explore. I've listed just the tip of the iceberg.

1. Rest Finger to Open

Settings > Accessibility > Home Button > Switch "Rest Finger to Open" On

This will make it so that you can unlock your iPhone without having to press the home button, since there is no more swiping right to enter your pass code.

2. Swipe Left to Open Camera

While on the lock screen, you no longer have to swipe up and click to access the camera. You can simply swipe right to left and not miss a shot!

3. Bedtime in Clock App

The Bedtime option will help you get your sleep pattern under control. Set days and times for when you want to go to bed and when you want to get up -- this feature will send you a reminder when it's time to wrap things up and get some shut eye. It also has the ability to calculate and track your sleep via the Health app to show you how you slept through the night.

4. Swipe Up for Lyrics

No more frustrated googling to win that argument over what the line really is -- now, you can simply swipe up on the "Now Playing" screen, and get access to the lyrics for Apple Music.

5. Remove Pre-Installed Apps

Finally! You can now get rid of the boat load of apps you've never used that have been crowding up your home screen since day one.

6. Search Your Photos

For more than just dates and locations, that is. You can easily pull up what you're looking for by searching keywords. Play around with it by typing a letter into the search box, and see just how many categories there are.

7. Markup Photos

Editing now comes with the ability to doodle, insert text, and zoom in on photos when you click on the ellipsis and choose the "Markup" option. Yes, it is now even easier to turn your friends into terrible memes. (You can access Markup in Messages as well by holding down on the photo you want to sent).

8. Emoji Replacement

Search for emojis within a text message! Apple has linked certain word recognition to make them easier to find. So, next time you're texting, and some words turn yellow, click on them to replace them with emojis.

9. Message Effects

In case you haven't figured it out already, Messages got a whole new makeover (my personal favorite part of iOS10). Hold down on the blue send arrow to add some drama to your bubble, and/or click on "Screen" to swipe through all of the different effects that can give your message a little more flare (These effects work with sending photos, too!).

10. Suggestions on Apple Maps

Maps now recognize frequently traveled places, and it suggests them while entering your destination. You can also search for nearby places, like restaurants and stores -- much like Google Maps.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
