10 Ways Pinterest Is God's Gift To The Internet

As I inch closer and closer to the 10,000 pin point on my own Pinterest, I can only think of the incredible wonder that is the world of Pinterest. The site was released in 2010 as a "catalog of ideas" rather than a social media and has become one of the most popular sites visited on the internet. In 2012, the site was the fastest site to ever break the 10 million unique visitor mark! And while it is confirmed that the majority of its users are women, the site still offers something for everyone. And these are the 10 ways Pinterest is God's gift to the internet!

1. Its unique feature to "repin" or save ideas

You can save every hair color, pie recipe, life hack, living room setup and wedding dress without hitting the Bookmarks button. As one of the most utilized feature Pinterest offers, "repin" ing ideas allows everyone to save those good and bad ideas for a later date.

2. The ability to view multiple ideas/Pins at once

Multitask viewing so you can see five pins at once! Even three pins at once on a phone is not too shabby!

3. Links users to outside sources

Pinterest: Connecting you to super cool, trendy sites since 2010. Never have I ever felt so connected to personal and professional blogs and small creative businesses. Pinterest creates a completely new and innovative approach to online community.

4. The ability to directly send Pins to friends and followers

You get an outfit idea! You get a Christmas gift hint! You get a Buzzfeed quiz! I love sending (and receiving) a good meme or gif! It's always fun to see that someone has thought of you while they scroll through Pinterest!

5. The organization and categorization

My OCD addiction can sleep at night knowing I placed the right recipe in the correct board. However, when I go to "re-organize" my Pins every once in a great while... I do end up finding recipes in my nursing and movie boards.

6. Its new option to directly shop

One of the newest features... And quite possibly the most dangerous. Oh, the joy of not having to delve deep into the internet just to by a quirky t-shirt!

7. The glorious Search Bar

Your guide to endless limits! The Search Bar smartly offers suggestions based on trends, preferences, and popular searches! Allow yourself to get to all that you want and need easier and faster!

8. Letting others how well the idea worked out

Another recent addition allows users to give feedback about how they tried a Pin and how it went! GENIUS.

9. Follow just Boards without actually following a specific "Pinner"

Just like what they Pin for recipes but not their one million repins of crop tops? This option is for you ;)

10. It learns what you like

The site tracks your searches and remembers what pins you may or may not have seen! Yay, technology!

Pinterest is saving one Thanksgiving at a time and planning every wedding with ease. Praise the Lord for the beauty beheld site that is, Pinterest!

Three cheers for Pinterest!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
