What Your Favorite Snapchat Filters Say About You
queenslodge.blogspot.com

The year was 2016. People young and old became obsessed with their primitive electronic devices known as, "smart phones."

I've always found it entertaining to wonder how future societies may study and/or judge us. Honestly, future people or even present day haters who bemoan the influence current technology has on our culture can take a seat, because I think it's pretty rad (for the most part).

We communicate in ways that even people a decade ago wouldn't believe! For instance, five years ago (on this very month), we were given SNAPCHAT, which is now one of the most popular apps to-date.

It seems like everybody and their momma (not a figure of speech, I know a crazy amount of moms who frequent the app) has a Snapchat, and what better way to celebrate its' success than to attribute it to various personality types? Here's what your favorite snapchat filters say about YOU:

(Author's Note to internet trolls/fact police: Obviously, I am a human woman who has no way of knowing if the following judgements are accurate and understands no two people are alike etc. etc. , so just loosen up and have a little fun, ok?)


1. The Sponsored Filter(s)

From restaurants to the newest summer flick, these shameless plugs are fun for most everyone, but if they're your favorite filters, then you are a true fanboy/girl. Your heart skips a beat when you see a "Walking Dead" filter because you have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Daryl Dixon, and that's totally understandable. You might have even geeked out when you saw Slimer promoting the "Ghostbusters" reboot, because you've retweeted every Melissa McCarthy gif ever and you loath the fact that the movie was SERIOUSLY UNDERAPPRECIATED!


2. The Dog Filter

Haha on you if you thought I'd skip this one! But in all seriousness, ignore the Twitter haters and Mansplainers on this one, because if the dog filter is your favorite one, it in no way has any negative implications. If you absolultely adore the dog filter, you are a selfie QUEEN/KING! You are hesitant to let anyone borrow your phone because you're afraid they'll see your multitude of selfies, but honestly, just OWN IT! There's nothing wrong with feelin' yourself and manifesting that confidence into a mini passenger-side photoshoot a la Kendall Jenner is completely fine. YOU BETTER WERKK.


3. The Other Animal Filters

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict there is a 99% chance you're someone's mom or dad--if not, then you're the "mom" your group of friends. You just got a Snapchat maybe a week or two ago after your child and/or more tech-savvy friend taught you how to "do" it (a decision they would come to regret). You either send/post nothing for weeks at a time or flood your friends and families with snaps of your chipmuck-pitched voice. You are having too much fun with your on the "Chapsnap," "Snappapp," or whatever the kids call it. (And the Bee one is your FAAAVE!)


4. The Flower/Heart/Butterfly Crown Filter

If you love the crown filters, you are the coolest friend ever! You're the supportive friend; the one who makes sure no one feels left out during any group hangout. If any members of your squad are having a tough time, you're the one who will swoop in mid-netflix binge and send supportive snaps and texts. You may be a softie on the regular, but if anyone hurts any of your ride-or-dies, you go into full momma-bear mode! Of course, if there's any opportunity for a fierce group selfie, YOU TAKE IT!


5. The Face-Contortion Filter(s)

Without a doubt, you're a complete goofball if you love the chubby-cheeked filters! You've always had a penchant for comedy, and you aren't afraid to step in during an awkward conversation lull with a joke or even the occasional arm fart (an oldie, but goody). You might have even been voted class clown back in high school and to this day, you don't take that superlative for granted. Your cleverly scripted snaps are guarenteed to make someone smile during their lunch break, and that's a pretty amazing talent. GO YOU!


6. The Geofilters

Everyone knows at least one person who constantly sends you/posts geofilters on their Snapchat story. If you can't get enough of letting people know where in the world you are today, you are probably a travel-addict, a jet-setter, if you will. You love going to new places and exploring their culture, people and food! Humblebragging has become habitual to you, and your Instagram is most likely chock-full of wide city/landscape shots, food porn, and selfies in front of art walls. Hey,no hate on my end, you do your thing! (Low-key jealous of you, though.)


7. The "Draw Your Own" Filter

I think you already know where this is going but I'll drop my knowledge on you anyway! If you find yourself bored with the normal filters and frequently create your own, you're definitely the art aficionado of your friend group. As a creative-type, you frequently doodle whenever you get the chance and find excitement in each new graffiti wall you find. Your preferred hangout is a quiet coffeehouse because you love coffee and the renewed energy it brings to your original way of seeing the world. (P.S. Jared Leto is an angel and you should add him on Snapchat.)


Did I absolutely nail you guys with my Snapspicions, or did I get it completely wrong? Feel free to let me know!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
