10 Reasons Why Pinterest is a Gamechanger

The creative boost everyone needs

10 Reasons Why Pinterest is a Gamechanger

1. If you’re having trouble getting those creative vibes flowing, Pinterest provides the creative boost, the source of inspiration necessary to complete your own goals. Speaking from personal experience, Pinterest saved me so many times in high school when I needed inspiration designing the school’s magazine pages. The idea is that it is just that, something that inspires you, but in recreating it, you inevitably make it your own.

2. For my fellow sorority women out there, I think I can get a unanimous agreement that Pinterest revolutionized crafting for the little, cooler painting, and everything. Enough said.

3. There is the ability to directly share with your friends by sending them pins of instant mood boosters, inside jokes, memes, you name it, so the option to be social is there.

4. It’s simple. The idea is straightforward. Press the “Pin it” button for what you like, and show it off.

5. You can pin all the cool pictures that you find on the web directly from the Internet to your organized boards with the toolbar application.

6. Pinterest exemplifies a unique branch of social media, one completely unlike its rivaling counterparts like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Pinterest taps into a realm where everything is centered around the individual, their potential, and creating your own “brand” through what you pin.

7. Through the app, you are creating your ideal self. Every aspect of your life is now planned out, down to what centerpieces will be on your wedding reception tables to what you’re cooking for dinner that night.

8. Everyone has a niche, and I mean EVERYONE. People who like food, photographers, artists, designers, sorority women, moms, rich men from the UK, brands that like traffic, bloggers, people who like to organize, check.

9. There is, however, one huge drawback. The excitement that arises from creating your virtual perfect life through Pinterest with the ultimate home décor, wedding, wardrobe, and fitness boards inherently construct existential angst for all the things that we want but can’t have.

10. WAIT. There is hope! Soon there will be a “buy” button installed within the app that takes the user directly to a purchasing landing page for the item. Now those dreams of having that emoji-print dress, tea-cup Yorkie, or regal Southern plantation home can become a reality.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
