8 Reasons Snapchat Is Taking Over

Why do we spend so much time on social media? Why do we care how we look? Our ancestors never had this technology and they were fine without it, we on the other hand would collapse. With all of the new filters, Snapchat is taking over lives by storm. Here are some reasons why:

1. You want people to think you have an amazing/ interesting life.

2. Spending hours on picking the right filter so you can send it to the boy you think is cute.

3. The new filters are so entertaining and are always changing!

It is time to check on which filter was added today!

4. Screenshots.

I think this speaks for itself, that notification we get makes our stomachs drop.

5. People think it is cool to Snapchat their speed while driving.

People have actually died from this. It is not safe and there should be no Snapchatting and driving or even texting.

6. Trying to get your pet's face recognized with the filters.

7. The new update that has everyone clicking on stories they didn't want to watch.

No thank you, I didn't want to watch her story at the moment but thanks for the option, not.

8. Procrastination.

People love to snap events from their entire day which can distract others.

Without social media the world would be so different. There would be no competition between teens with the amount of followers and likes they get. There would be no retweets or Snapchats. There would be no sitting there trying to get your pet to cooperate and get the filter on. There would be no cyberbullying. But there would also be a lack of communication between peers.

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!
