Why Pope Francis Has The Best Twitter Account

@Pontifex, in my opinion, offers any individual short blurbs of guidance every time he tweets. Although he is the main figurehead for the Catholic Church, Pope Francis is a cute, older man who not only has wisdom beyond words, but is able to communicate Catholic teachings to everyday people. No matter what religious affiliation you may have, it is possible to gain insight on how to live better through his posts, even if they may be Catholic in nature. Even in a world that has somewhat strayed from religion, Pope Francis is able to communicate Bible passages to those who may not be fully educated on them. The Bible is often steered away from just because it is considered to be too strict or too conservative, but it offers lessons that any individual, religious or not, could follow. Whether you are in a tough spot in life, or are looking for ways to enlighten yourself and become a better person all around, Pope Francis is speaking to you. Here are some examples, of my personal favorites, that I believe everyone deserves to see.

@Pontifex: January 9th, 2017: There can be no true peace if everyone claims always and exclusively his or her own rights, without caring for the good of others.

@Pontifex: May 9th, 20: Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

@Pontifex: December 21st, 2016: Mercy gives rise to joy, because our hearts are opened to the hope of a new life.

@Pontifex: April 14th, 2016: Love is the only light which can constantly illuminate a world grown dim.


@Pontifex: June 18th, 2015: Let us sing as we go. May our struggles and our concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope.

@Pontifex: October 11th, 2016: To live joyfully we must let go of anger, wrath, violence, and revenge.

@Pontifex: July 28th, 2016: A merciful heart has the courage to leave comforts behind and to encounter others, embracing everyone

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
