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.

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.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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!
