13 First World Problems That We've All Unfortunately Experienced, They're The Literal Worst

It's 2019. Technology fills the world. We all carry smartphones, some of us have tablets, we own smart TVs, there are even little devices that sit in our homes and take orders from us. It's a crazy world, but technology isn't always great. Sometimes it glitches and causes us frustration, so you'll relate to these 13 things.

1. When there's no WiFi

What do I do without WiFi?????

2. When you're out of data

Because not everyone has unlimited, so what do we do without data or WiFi?!?!

3. When Snapchat is down

This has actually happened twice in the past week and it's been rough for the short amount of time it wasn't available.

4. When Instagram is down

This doesn't happen as often as with Snapchat, but I think it takes longer to get this one back up and running so that's not fun.

5. When they take away the fun Snapchat filters

Some of them disappear and reappear every once in a while and it's annoying. If you're planning to bring them back, why even get rid of them in the first place?!

6. When the WiFi isn't working

The WORST is when you have WiFi connection, but IT DOESN'T WORK!!!

7. Not getting enough likes on Instagram

I don't necessarily care if I get tons of likes, but dang, friends — like my stuff and support me.

8. When you see the same five people's posts on Facebook

So I know not everyone uses Facebook anymore, but for the ones that do, you understand.

9. When you have an iPhone, but the person you're texting doesn't

There's just something more satisfying about seeing a blue bubble with a little delivered message under it.

10. When you have to wait on your phone to update

Because the "30 minutes remaining" is always a lie.

11. Dropping your phone and hesitating to pick it up because you're secretly praying you didn't shatter the screen

The most agonizing moments of your life.

12. Having to turn your brightness up at fast food restaurants to scan their fancy apps for points

What a pain, TBH.

13. When your texts/snaps won't send

THE LITERAL WORST.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

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?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
