6 Things Everyone Should Keep Off Facebook

Facebook is a platform that people use to express themselves. However, there are a few instances where you should keep those expressions to yourself. Here are six things people shouldn't put on Facebook.

1. Your Relationship Status, #MakingItOfficial

This is private information. Not everyone needs to know that you are in a relationship for the third time this year. You putting up your relationship status gives everyone the key to your personal life. Plus it can get seriously awkward if things happen to turn sour and end. This just causes for an awkward moment of you having to remove your relationship status. Honestly, we are all happy you are sooooooo in love, but keep it off Facebook.

2. Family Drama

If your family is having some sort of conflict, running to Facebook to rant about it is not the best idea. Posting family drama on Facebook not only makes it awkward for the parties involved to see, but also everyone that scrolls by it. Instead of running to Facebook to talk about the issues your family is facing maybe consider going to the family member that is causing the problem and talking it out? #CommunicationIsKey

3. GPA's/Dean's List

I am happy for you that you got on the Dean's List this semester. Honestly it's an amazing accomplishment and I’m so proud of you studious students that made it onto the list for this past semester. Chances are if you are posting about your GPA or making it on the Dean's List, you excelled and did very well. This is essentially “rubbing it in” to everyone else on Facebook that didn't exactly do well. People every semester post their GPA’s and Dean's List achievements when in reality, Jimbob that you met in second grade that sees this pop up on his timeline doesn't really care. Once again, this is private information, information you usually share with your family. Facebook is filled with many people I am sure you consider acquaintances. So go ahead, share with your family, text them and send them pictures … but keep it off Facebook.

4. Degrading Posts About People's Religious/Political Views

Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I think it's time we start being adults and remember that everyone has different views that will sometimes differ from our own. Your 14 paragraph long status is most likely not going to change anyone's opinion. The most it is probably going to do is create World War Three amongst your friends on Facebook. #AgreeToDisagree

5. Pictures of Being Drunk

I am sure you are friends on Facebook with plenty of people who are your family members, family friends, old teachers and maybe even bosses. Posting pictures of you being drunk for everyone to see is far from classy. Even if you are not the one who posts the picture, you are just tagged in it, you can hide it from your timeline or untag yourself from the picture. I am not too sure your family, bosses or people that respect you want to see how you looked at 2am last Saturday night with a beer in your hand. #KeepItClassy

6. Game Requests

No Auntie Sue and Grandma Loreen, I will not send you another life in Candy Crush or another horse in Farmville.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
