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.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
