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!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
