Eight Struggles Of Being In A Group Chat

It's a love-hate relationship.

Sometimes you hate being a part of them, but you definitely hate being left out of them. Group chats really bring people together. And nothing epitomizes girl friendships better than a group chat that offers endless support, advice, and making fun of screenshots and how stupid boys can be.

Every group chat has its main contributors, the ones who are always trying to plan things, the ones who occasionally reply with random memes and funny gifs, and those who barely ever answer. But whichever you are, here are 8 struggles relevant to anyone who has ever been in a high maintenance group chat.

1. If you’re hanging out with other people when your group chat blows up, you’re guaranteed to hear “Wow, you’re so popular!”

No, it's just a group chat.

2. It always blows up at the worst times.

Either you’re in class and your phone won’t stop buzzing or you're in a really important meeting.

3. And then while catching up on the messages that you missed, the conversation is still going so it takes you all the way to the bottom and you have to scroll up again.

And nothing makes you want to rip your hair out more than this.

4. Getting ignored is no fun.

And nothing stops you from sending 15+ unanswered messages till someone agrees to hangout with you or listen to your latest story.

5. When 2 people have their own conversation that pertains to no one else, and they could just privately message each other, but they don’t.

6. Making plans can be really frustrating.

Some people want to do different things at different times and it’s nearly impossible for everyone to coordinate (especially if your group is filled with indecisive people).

7. They’re a great support system but they roast you constantly.

Whether you make a typo or send something to the wrong chat, they’ll be there to call you out faster than you can correct anything.

8. Constantly being torn between muting the chat (since it won’t stop buzzing and you need to sleep or study) and worrying that you’ll miss out.

One of your friends is sending screenshots of an entire conversation, and the drama is just too good to miss out on.

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.
