This year I went through a major life-changing experience. I decided to delete all my social media apps–and yes, that includes Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram. I figured that if I deleted all these apps that maybe I would focus more on school and get my work done earlier, but–spoiler alert–I only lasted two weeks! Though I was productive, I felt so empty without all the apps.
So here are some of the things I missed the most:
1. Beyoncé's iconic Instagram posts.
Beyoncé usually posts at least two times and week and every picture she posts slays. My favorite ones are the little videos showing her OOTN or when Blue Ivy makes an appearance, that's when you know it's going to be extra good. Not being able to see her posts for two weeks was hard because, let's face it, whenever she posts your feed is blessed.
2. Missing the updates brought to you by Snapchat.
I missed reading Daily Mail and watching E! News' "The Rundown"! Yes, I am that person who actually reads Daily Mail and, I mean, come on. We all do! How else would we know that Kim Kardashian is making Kanye West sign up for the gym?!?!
Also, E! News' "The Rundown" is the best thing out there. I missed watching Erin Lim summarize all that is going on in entertainment in less than three minutes, and especially all the background effects they use. They are amazing!
3. TWEETS. TWEETS. TWEETS.
We all have that one friend who tweets and retweets some of the funniest stuff that makes you smile so hard. All my DMs are filled with my friends sending me funny tweets and, after coming back after two weeks, my DMs were flooded. Twitter is honestly amazing and the stuff that people come up with is so funny. I'm never taking it for granted ever again!
4. Scrolling through your timeline and seeing a finsta post.
My favorite thing is scrolling through my Instagram and seeing artsy pictures of someone on vacation and then all of a sudden...BAM there's a close up of someone's face and the caption is a huge rant about how Taco Bell is life. Finsta posts are best things ever! People don't think about the filters or if the caption is witty enough. It's just your time to rant away and let it all out. BRB while I make a finsta post about loving finstas.
