Emojis: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

If you're an iPhone user, then you know about the newest software update Apple has to offer. If you don't, then get excited. There are now over 100 new emojis that iPhone users are being blessed with. While Apple has praised our pleas with a few of our emoji desires (such as the middle finger emoji), there are some that are questionable.

I am personally very excited about the middle finger emoji, only because using the cactus emoji in its place gets a little boring. Now we don't have to use our imagination when it comes to flipping off some of your best friends.

A few of my other favorites include the taco, the nerd smiley face (just because it's so cute), the fleur-de-lis (because Kappa), the upside down smiley face, and the money smiley face. These are the only new emojis I have used since the update came out on Wednesday.

The rest of them are kind of pointless. Why do we need a second key emoji? Or a fog emoji? Or even a robot? OR A HOLE??

The new emojis included new sports options, which was much needed, but I'm pretty sure we don't need another mailbox emoji. They added so many more animals too, like a lion, unicorn, squirrel, dove, and crab, but still no owl?? The owl is what us Kappas have all been waiting for. So I'm just thankful they decided to add the fluer-de-lis at least.

Either way, some of these new emojis may be a tad bit useless, but Apple did grant our wishes by giving us updated ones along with a few we asked for. I would love to think that I could use the businessman levitating emoji every day, but sadly I cannot. So maybe let's stick to useful things next time, Apple, instead of just crowding my emoji keyboard with things I don't use ever.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
