The 5 Things I Missed The Most After Deleting All My Social Media Apps

Don't do this to yourself!

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.

5. That feeling you get when you are tagged in a meme.

Getting tagged in a meme would be the highlight of my day, so this was by far the thing I missed the most! My Facebook would send me emails saying, "You have been tagged in a meme," and it was honestly the saddest thing ever because I could not see the actual meme. So next time you convince yourself to delete Facebook, don't do it because not being able to see memes is not a life you want to be living!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
