The Real Meanings Behind the New iPhone Emojis

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Point Park chapter.

Is it just me, or are these things getting really specific?

The only emoji to fit in your instagram bio after you’ve been studying for 15 minutes, and decide you’ll surely be Valedictorian.

Texting the lyrics of Dave Matthews Band’s “Satellite” is finally quick, easy, and convenient.

Friend: “You’re being quiet today. What are you thinking about?”

You: *person in bed*

 

When you’re about to drag someone on Twitter, and the composition of the Tweet must be flawless.

Friend: “Hey i’ll be there in 15 minutes”

You: *gets ready on time for the first time ever*

Friend: “Never mind – I can’t make it today”

You: that’s okay *upside smiley*

*zipped lips* – “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejui-“

Job Interview: “How would you describe yourself in the workplace?”

“Life & Death: Twilight Reimagined” or, you know, The Beatles’ world renowned “White Album.” Either way.

 “I went to Taco Bell for the third time this week, but this time I only had one Cheesy Gordita Crunch

Professor: “The final for this course will be entirely cumulative, so take good notes.”
