The Unspoken Rules of Social Media
RivalIQ

Our generation is very social media driven. Some of us have picked up on the unspoken social media rules and some of us have not. For some people they use their social media as a shrine to how good they are and some of us do not post very often at all. Here are the unspoken rules of social media:

1. Do not post a 500 second long story, of all the same thing.

We all have that one friend who will post every 5 minutes of the different songs the DJ plays at a party.

2. You only need to post a picture to Instagram once maybe twice a day.

If you want to post 2+ photos on Instagram then just make a Facebook album.

3. If you make a collage for a birthday dont use a billion tiny photos use a few big ones.

4. You do not need 5+ hashtags in one post, one or two will do just fine.

no caption needed.

5. Do not post and then delete and then post something else to Instagram. We will notice.

We notice, especially if we have already liked it!!

6. Even is your best friends post is terrible you still have to like it.

You know the post im talking about the one where the lighting is bad, her hair looks pretty bad, and he makeup is all over the place.

7. Having other people take snap chat videos of your outfit.

We dont need a video of you twirl for 10 second in an outfit.

8. Do not post 5 billion quotes on facebook, instagram, twitter, or snapchat singling one person out.

We all have that one friend that breaks up with someone and then makes everyone else pay for it. We eventually will unfollow or block you.

9. DO NOT like your own post. That is a sure way to look desperate.

Please just dont.

10. Do not over edit your photos!

We all have that one or two friends that like to over edit to where it does not even look like themselves.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
