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.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
