When you hear the word best friend, what do you think? You have a name pop into your head, an image of the person you consider your best friend. I could bet money that you've been talking to them all day before seeing this article.
My best friend here though isn't a person, it's a thing. An app or website if you will. My best friend is Pinterest. Now I know you're laughing but follow my thoughts. Isn't a best friend always there for you, to help support you and tell you things that make you feel better? Isn't a best friend the one to help you when you get married? Isn't a best friend the one to help you relax and figure things out when you can't do it yourself? Now think- isn't that what Pinterest does too?
Lets think about this ... Does Pinterest everything a best friend does right?
How many of you have a board saved about your wedding? You have hundreds of dresses picked out that you'd love to match or find the exact one! You probably have so many hair styles saved that you can't wait to do a trial on. You've probably found the perfect engagement ring that you know you'd never get but would love to just have the chance to try it on. You probably have found everything you'd need to make that day perfect. And I can bet that all you're missing is the man!
How many of you have a board for your favorite quotes? You probably have quotes that you'd want to be tattooed on you somewhere but are too nervous to do so. You have some saved for those days that you need the little pick-me-up. You have some that you've wanted to send to someone when you find it relates. If you're in a sorority, you probably have quotes to send to your big or your little and you can't wait to put them on a canvas board!
How many of you have some fitness, board? All the workouts that you'd love to do but know you can't complete. All the workout songs you could imagine fitting your fitness life, if only you had the time do download them all. All those weekly fitness challenges that you've started but stopped midway through. And don't forget all the healthy food that you think looks delicious but wouldn't be able to make!
How many of you have a board dedicated to your majors? I have about five boards dedicated to teaching and different projects that I want to make. Lessons and worksheets that have saved me hours of searching. Finding bulletin boards that I would be able to re-create or projects that I could change to be something of my own, it's all right there!
How many of you have a board dedicated to fashion or nails? I know I have a few for both. When different designs on nails were the latest trend, I was always looking up different styles I could try! And fashion is a must have! All the outfits and styles you wish you could wear but never think you could pull off are a must save, in case you find it somewhere out! You never know when you'll need to find the same shoes!
So remember, you might have that best friend who goes away to college ... but you will always have another best friend right next to you on your phone whenever you need! The best part, this best friend doesn't talk back. They may close every now and then when you least expect, but it will always be there to try again!
