My love-hate relationship with IOS 10

A special shoutout to all the lovely iPhone users, you rock. We all freaked out when we got the update. Wait we can draw stuff and send it, and how did you send me balloons? Yes, we all updated our lovely little babies to IOS 10. Some love it some hate it, but if you're anything like me you love and hate it.

The emojis.

What the actual heck? Did we go back in time or what? Why do these emojis look so terrible now? What happened to the cute little emojis! And hello why is the gun a water gun now?! And even though I do hate some of them with a burning passion there are some new ones including, single parents, homosexual partners with children, churches and women weightlifting.

Parked Car

This may be the best thing that has ever happened to me. Apple can officially remember where you parked. All my life problems have been solved.

Digital Touch Message

Hello, best thing ever! Now I can send special little drawings to my friends and even better yet the little ones in my life!

Movie

Being away at college and away from all my friends and family can be super difficult at times. (Love y'all!) The new update has this awesome thing, just by going into your memories, then clicking people, places or related a little movie will be created. You can select the type of music you'd like and the length of the movie.

Widgets

Now when you swipe right you have access to apps. You have the ability to personalize your widgets. Personally I chose Siri App Suggestions, Weather, Maps & Destinations, Calendar, Reminders and Photos.

Unlocking

Eventually, it will be okay, but as for me I am so used to swiping to one side and unlocking my phone. However, now you must press the home button and enter the passcode or use your fingerprint.

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?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
