I Never Wanted AirPods, But I Got Them For Christmas, And Now I Can See Why People Are OBSESSED

I converted to the "I don't speak broke" side of headphones, and IT FEELS SO GOOD.

I Never Wanted AirPods, But I Got Them For Christmas, And Now I Can See Why People Are OBSESSED

I really never thought I'd be the person who tucks their hair behind their ears to reveal a small, white wireless headphone teeming with stigma.

I never thought that would be me, but now it is.

I have been converted to the "I don't speak broke" side, and let me just say... wow.

It was about time I invested in new headphones, my old standard-issue wire Apple headphones started shocking me when I put them in a few months back.

I work around a lot of water... not saying that that was the root cause of the problem, but the wires were more of a danger than anything.

I had been eyeing AirPods for a while, but I didn't really want to seem like the stereotypical unapproachable white girl on campus.

I mentioned wanting AirPods to my mom and sure enough, she delivered in the classical "box in a box in a box" style of present wrapping.

As soon as you open the box, the AirPods recognize your phone and they start syncing up... super cool and SUPER creepy. Technology is really going to kill us all.

Anyway, they connect and they even recognize your ears. Like, they don't play music until you put them in your ears. It's insane.

I named mine MeganPods because I'm really funny (at least I think I am).

Some of the things that have been really nice about having AirPods - I don't need to hold my phone to move from place to place while listening to music.

I can put a jacket on without taking my headphones off. Want to skip a song? *tap tap*. Boom. It's so cool!

Also, have you ever listened to 8D audio? If you have AirPods... seriously it is wild I recommend.

I promise not to become one of those annoying AirPods people, but I certainly do understand how those people got to where they are. Human nature is crazy, and technology is even crazier.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
