It's Great You Have Strong Opinions... But Keep Them Off Twitter, Please

It is great that you have an opinion, but I really don't care to read it on Twitter.

It's Great You Have Strong Opinions... But Keep Them Off Twitter, Please

Let me start this article by sending you snaps of approval... all of you. I do not care what your background is, your beliefs are, or where you land politically. If you have an opinion that is phenomenal and something that should never change. If you stand up for what you believe in, HOLY SH*T, seriously, I have mad respect for you.

BUT

Please, do not plaster it all over my Twitter timeline.

Recently, I spend a semester abroad. Being away, my only way of knowing what was going on at home was Twitter... except it was all negative and I really couldn't tell what was actually going on because everyone was putting out there two cents on the topics.

Either way, please keep it off of Twitter for a few reasons.

First Reason

Just like you do not care to hear my opinions, I really do not care to hear yours. If I cared, I would ask you.

Second Reason

You plastering your opinion on social media, especially Twitter and Instagram is not going to change anything.

So, instead of posting complaints and stuff no one really wants to read when they open twitter. Try something new...

If it is easier for you to voice your beliefs on social media, try Linkedin. Linkedin is a great place to connect with like minded people and also can help you find a job at a company that is MADE for you!

Honestly though, please if you have an opinion, make your opinion heard. Twitter won't get you anywhere unless your box of Chips Ahoy came broken when you bought them... Go to marches or rallies. Speak your mind, just not on my Twitter timeline.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
