5 Tips On How To Take The Best Selfie
YouTube

Once upon a time, I was an Asian dude who always hated selfies, I hated to see people taking selfies out in the public, and I hated seeing girls doing the Duck face. But now, everything changed. I’ve become one of them, I’ve joined the society of Selfies, which is kind of like the Illuminati; we don’t know if they exist, but we can feel that they’re there. That’s the Selfie society.

Now, moving on to the important tips that you all have waited for, how to take the perfect selfie.

1. Having a good front and back camera phone

This is probably the most obvious one. If you want a crisp, high-quality selfie of your face, what would you do? Get a good smartphone with a good front facing and back camera. Here are some good phones to get: iPhone 7, Samsung Galaxy S7, Google Pixel...

2. Lighting

The lighting is essential to any selfie. First, the bigger the light, the better the selfie. Secondly, always let the light shine on your face to show all of your beautiful features, or a better option is by taking advantage of the natural sunlight, which is the best light source you can have to take a perfect selfie.

3. The background

When taking a selfie, you would want to take it with a beautiful background. That showcases your personality. The background will tell others what kind of things you like to do with your free time.

4. The Angle Matters.

Angle is definitely important, because it can bring out good and bad qualities. I can definitely say that everyone wants to impress their peers with their ability to take a selfie at a good angle.

5. Editing

After taking your perfect selfie, it’s time to make it look amazing by simply cropping your photo, not only does it minimize the photo, but it will also pop your best feature. And finally, filters. Those filters on Instagram and Snapchat are fantastic. I admit that I used to hate that dog filter on Snapchat, but now I love it. Just pick the right filters that will make your face really show how confident of a person you really are.

Extra tip: Get a selfie stick, there's a reason they were made.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
