If You're Not In A Facebook Group, You're Missing Out

Facebook groups are the best way to connect with people.

If You're Not In A Facebook Group, You're Missing Out

Facebook has been around for almost 14 years, and many of us grew up with it. Although social media has a changed drastically since the beginnings of Facebook, I think that Facebook has made a comeback.

Maybe it's the fun viral videos, posts from old high school friends or Tasty recipes, but Facebook has been one of my favorite social media platforms as of late and one of my favorite aspects has been "Groups.'' Facebook groups are a feature where you can connect with people that have the same interests as you, listen to the same podcasts as you or even have the same kind of dog as you.

Facebook has always been a place to connect with others, but the addition and popularization of groups has made it even easier to get advice, experience and create friendships with people all over the country, and in some groups, all over the world. I am currently in 5 Facebook groups, but I am always looking for more because they have so much to offer. For example, one of the groups I am in has offered me so much knowledge on what classes to take or how to find the perfect work-study job, and best places to go on a date in Chapel Hill. Other groups, I am in focus specifically on funny memes about UNC and the things happening around campus, and another group is dedicated to French bulldogs and tips on how to take care of them.

If there is something you are interested in or need some non-bias advice about, a Facebook group could be a great place to start. Whether you want to join the "Dog-Spotting Society" or Gals on the Go, Facebook groups have more to offer than you think, and there is a Facebook group out there for everyone.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
