I'm So Tired Of Living In This Social Media Crazy Generation

Just because you follow me on social media does not mean you actually know me.

In this day and age, everything is so fast paced.

Everyone wants everything in the blink of an eye, we all know everything about each others' lives, and we all post about our own like everyone cares.

Sometimes I feel trapped and suffocated by all the noise, and I wonder if other people do, too.

Social media is both a blessing and a curse, and recently it's been more of a curse.

I'm getting to the point where I LITERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Everyone posts about their every move and it's tiring to be in the middle of it.

You could say that it would be easier to just delete it all, but it's not that simple when you literally work on social media.

I have been reflecting a lot on relationship of this day, and I'm honestly disgusted.

I'm in college and the hookup culture is real, but part of it is exacerbated by social media. People stalk their partner's location, they check the last time they were active, and they feel the need to constantly be texting them.

There is no patience, no trust, and less fun in relationships because we are so desensitized to the chaos that it dating nowadays.

Lastly, I feel like everything is amplified. People pick out their outfits for the next weekend before the first one is over because they want their instagram to look amazing.

Others seem to think it is okay it insert themselves in my life because they think they know everything about it since they follow me on social media. You can't get a hold of me through text?

So you feel the need to instagram, facebook and twitter message me until I answer. Maybe I just don't want to talk. Social media is giving us a false sense of closeness where it doesn't exist.

Needless to say, I'm freaking tired of it. I want to go back to being five and riding my bike for fun.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
