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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
