Still No Dislike Button

Why do they refuse to give us what we really want?

The Week

Why do they refuse to give us what we really want?

We have been asking for, signing petitions for, and sharing posts to have a DISLIKE button on Facebook. What do they do? They give us:

Like: We already had this button

Love: I guess we have to show that we don't just like it, we LOVE IT, right?

Haha: When it's funny, you can simply like it because liking a funny post already means you think it's funny.

Wow: Same as above.

Sad: This one I'm glad is a part of the new reactions because I don't know how some people like posts of people's pets or grandparents dying. I would always comment saying sorry, but could never like a post like that. I know that doing so means "condolences," but it just never made sense to me. I'm glad this is a reaction now and I have already used it on one of those sad posts and will keep using it and try not to judge those that still like instead of react sad to these posts.

Angry: Not really a fan of the angry reaction, only have seen it mostly on posts where friends use it as inside jokes like "how dare you go here without me? I am angry" or posts involving links or photos to which the person posting has been angry too. I would probably only use this for Trump supporters' posts about Trump being the right candidate and such, but, other than that, I think it's pretty useless (and a dislike button would actually have the same effect as this, if not better).

Long story short, most of these reactions can actually be covered by the like button we've always had (except the sad one because that one is actually very helpful). What we've really wanted for years is a dislike button!

Simple but effective. We could just get this and remove the so-called "reactions," and most of us would be a lot happier.

C'mon Facebook, step up your game!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
