Area Coed Feels Compulsive Need To Tell World She's On A Beach

Area Coed Feels Compulsive Need To Tell World She's On A Beach

Sarasota, Florida- Sitting on the outdoor patio of her great-aunt’s vacation home, Sarah Warner, 21, carefully set down her Mike’s Hard Lemonade at the side of her reclined chair to photograph the nearby beachside pool, taking care to nonchalantly position her sunburnt feet in the foreground of the image. Minutes later, after scrolling through each Instagram filter at least once, she eagerly uploaded her creation with a caption excerpted from a Zac Brown Band song followed by two sunshine emojis and a #neverleaving hashtag.

“I just love the beach!” exclaimed Warner to a relatively small crowd of poolside onlookers and reporters. “And I’m going to make sure everyone knows I love it, too.”

For the friends and family who actively follow Warner on social media, this will be her seventh Instagram post they will have seen in the past 20 hours. This is in addition to several tweets, a small album uploaded to Facebook, and a two-minute “My Story” on Snapchat -- which she continues to update when almost anything happens.

“All my friends are going to be so jealous!” added Warner just moments before sending her second selfie of the day to a group text comprised of hometown friends.

A handful of Warner’s followers spoke out to reporters, all of them emphasizing the displeasure her excessive posts have caused. Lauren Hillis, 21, an acquaintance of Warner’s since primary school, shared her testimony.

“Sarah is pretty much my best friend, but she needs to dial it back a notch,” said Hillis. “I’m tired of giving her ‘pity likes’ just because she uploads a cute picture and expects her friends to show support.”

Warner’s cousin, Terry Roberts, 24 -- who at the time was in the middle of a Grace Under Fire marathon in her Philadelphia apartment -- also had some harsh criticism regarding her younger cousin's actions.

Said Roberts: “She used to update her Instagram maybe once every other week. Now, she’s the only person showing up in my feed, and none of the pictures are even that great. At this point, I’m honestly sick of seeing her.”

Unfortunately for Warner, the luxury of vacationing for a week in a veritable paradise has prevented her from recognizing the annoyance that her social media presence has caused.

Warner, a self-proclaimed “people person”, has made it clear she sees nothing indignant regarding her social media publications, and that anyone who thinks so “should just unfollow me or get over the fact that I’m enjoying myself”.

According to sources, rumors of Warner studying abroad next spring have begun to circulate, which experts believe will inevitably lead to a public outrage.

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!

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.

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.
