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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
