We all know and love this wonderful website called Pinterest. The popularity for this site/application for the phone has died down significantly over the past years, but it still is the most versatile place to get ideas and inspiration for basically anything you can think of. With the site including "pins" that connect to DIY projects, articles and recipes, how could you not love it? Here are some reasons why Pinterest is the best website/application to go to for literally anything.

1. The interface is easy to search.

Just by typing in "chicken recipe", you get an endless supply of recipes from skillet to baked chicken. Gluten-free? No problem. Don't have certain ingredients? Just type in what you have and more recipes appear with the desired items.

2. The site is full of inspiration and examples of personal projects.

No matter where you are or whatever you're doing, you can search for whatever you need at any given time. (Such as when my roommate and I wanted to make a cake at 11:00 p.m. at night.. which turned out amazing at 1:30 a.m.)

5. Find articles and tips on self-development and wellness.

Not sure how to write a resume or the best places to get a fitness membership? The site contains more than just recipes and how to's, but also some great life tips.

6. The clickable pictures make it easy to see exactly what the pin contains.

These pictures make it easy to visually see what you want from a simple swipe. Each search also allows you to see related search words with the pictures for other related content.

7. It's easy to scroll through each page of pins.

Similar to articles found on the web, each pin contains a simple headline that states exactly what it is, making it easy to distinguish what you need and don't need.

Pinterest is not only a place just for people to search for anything and everything, but it delivers more than so many sites can due to its visual qualities and easy access. From a desktop computer to a cell phone, this website can be easily accessed through the Internet or the application that can be found in any given mobile carrier's online store. With just the touch of a button, you have the world in the palm of your hands.

With Google, you can search and see a computer-generated answer or articles that can be unrelated to what you really need. However, with Pinterest, you have an endless supply of real people who have tried and succeeded at making anything and everything and are willing to share with the world how to do what they did as well. Other people helping other people reach success makes the world a better place, and you can help partake in this just by utilizing and contributing to Pinterest with what inspires you and the successes you've had. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
