Earlier today, Apple released the new iOS 9.1 update which fixed bugs and allowed for new Live Pictures, but everyone is talking about the most important update: 150+ new emojis. What a time to be alive! Here are some favorites and why you would use them:
The Nerd Face Emoji
Because now you can finally accurately describe your late-night lib dates with Homer. Plus being a nerd is in now, right?
The Money-Mouth Face Emoji
Because as college students we feel like millionaires on every payday and we needed an emoji to express that.
The Hand-Hugging Face Emoji
Because—actually maybe don’t use this one, it’s kind of creepy; or use it to scare away your friends.
The Thermometer Face Emoji
Because cold and flu season is just around the corner. Slash, it’s already here. Cough. Cough.
The Vulcan Salute Emoji
Because the Nerd Face emoji could not fully capture exactly how much of nerd you are. #LiveLongAndProsper
The Chipmunk Emoji
Because they’re basically taking over UConn. Actually, that’s squirrels… close enough.
The Unicorn Emoji
Because we’re all five-year-old girls at heart, aren’t we?
The Popping-Bottles Emoji
Because the best way to celebrate any victory (from acing that midterm to winning a NCAA championship) is to pop a bottle of champagne.
The Popcorn Emoji
Because when sh*t’s getting good, you HAVE to break out the popcorn.
The Hot Pepper Emoji
Because sometimes we just feel a little spicy, you know?
The Mexican Food Emojis
Because now we can properly text people what we’re eating instead of wasting our time typing out the words “taco” or “burrito.” Side note: if this isn’t a sign that we need a Chipotle on campus, then I don’t know what is.
The Cheese Emoji
Because cheese. Enough said.
The Black Hole Emoji
Because sending the waving hand as a goodbye was getting pretty old. Now the most popular way to end a conversation will be by jumping into a black hole. (There’s some speculation here).
And last but definitely not least…
The Middle Finger Emoji
Because emoji lovers everywhere have been waiting for this very moment for years and it is finally here. Now you can flip off your friends without them getting too upset with you because how mad can someone actually get at an emoji text, anyway?
