Instagram Adds a Like Button to The Comment Section

Social media apps have been updating their platforms to keep up with the latest trends and requests of their users, but there is one update in particular that has earned my praise. Instagram has finally added a like button to their comment section. THANK THE LORD!

Instagram has a visually unique platform, but they fall flat when it comes to the details. Their comment section, in particular, has been lacking for quite some time. I think everyone has experienced that uncomfortable moment when they post a picture, have multiple people comment on it, and then are left wondering: do I reply to each comment separately or can I reply to all of them in one post? Do I even have to comment back? Should I just delete their comment and act like they never said anything? (I actually have deleted someone’s Instagram comment, but it was an accident. And it was the best accident I have ever made because there was no longer a comment to respond too.)

With Instagram’s new update, however, we have been alleviated of our first world problem. Users are now able to like the comments left on other people's post as well as their own. You no longer have to decide which comment to respond to and which comment to pretend you never saw.

And as an added bonus, this update is just in time for the holidays when your family decides to comment how much they miss you on your totally unrelated Insta photo of the avocado toast you had for breakfast. Everyone gets a like for Christmas! Happy Holidays!

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
