The Difference Between Twitter And Instagram

Besides one being for words and one being for pictures.

The Difference Between Twitter And Instagram

In case social media is not your forte, I have made a simple guide in an effort to help you navigate through two of the most important interactive sites

Instagram is where you go to say, “Look at how wonderful everything is! I love my life!” and Twitter is where you get to go all, “Look, I lied. I got some issues.”

In other words, Instagram is where you act like your life is all together, and Twitter is where you get to be yourself.

Unless your true self has your act all together. In which case, you’re lying. You wouldn’t have either of those if that was true.

On my Instagram, there are pictures of my friends and me looking good, going on adventures, cute dogs, occasionally beautiful food.

On my Twitter, there is actually a video of me crying because I think the Fast and Furious franchise will be America’s demise. And you also find out almost all of my meals are actually very bland salads and protein smoothies. One time, I was momentarily confused and thought Abraham Lincoln was a greek god, not a president, and I alerted Twitter.

Instagram is “OMG, this cute boy followed me!!!!” Twitter is “What the heck? Why would a stranger want to know my thoughts?”

If you’re looking for someone to try to sell you something, Instagram is your place, and if you want to complain about that, go to Twitter.

Here’s my hiking trip according to Instagram.

According to Twitter.

A spider bite on my eye lid AKA when your worst fear comes true and you’re still alive.

Night out with friends according to Instagram.

According to Twitter.

Yikes but true.

My childhood according to Instagram.

According to (my friends’) Twitter(s).

 

I'm a lot cooler in their eyes.

I hope this has been helpful in guiding your social media endeavors, but honestly do what you want.

If you are wondering where Facebook falls in all of this, it doesn’t. It is solely for hostility.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
