Social Media Is Being So Annoying

Kind of sick and tired of all the repetitive posts I've been seeing lately

Social Media Is Being So Annoying
Brian Wu

Okay, so this title is kind of misleading. When I say "social media is being annoying" I really mean people on social media are being annoying. So the dude got elected into office. We can't do anything about it now, except assassinate him, which I'm not condoning. I know alot of people are feeling very strongly about this whole mess. People are angry, I know I am. People are disappointed, me. People feel sad, just a little. People are scared. I'm actually not feeling that one so much. Bottom-line, there are alot of people being affected by this election and they have the right to. For God effing sakes, we put Trump on the high chair. Mistakes were made. I go onto Facebook and there's still alot of Trump talk. That's not what bugs me. What really grinds my gears are the people who people making posts that start with "I don't normally post my political beliefs" or "I'm not the type of person to make my political thoughts public" or "I usual try to keep my political ideas and social media separate". These are posts from people who almost never post anything about politics. So they weren't lying; they really don't like to talk about politics on social media. The problem is that because so many other people already posting similar things, I feel like everyone is just on that bandwagon. "Oh let me just make (probably the second or third post about politics ever since having a Facebook) a post about Trump, just get my thoughts out there. That way everyone can understand how I'm feeling". Bish, there are actual people who are fearing for their lives because this mofo is going to be in office. Don't just post stuff too feel like you're part of that crowd. If your friends know well enough, they should already know how you feel about this whole ordeal. Now I know there are the genuine people out there who are truly affected by this and need to vent or simply express their thoughts on social media. I respect you all and welcome your thoughts. It's the fakers out there who pump some cookie-cutter, essay long spiel about "election stuff". You're not really expressing yourself. You're just conforming. So to all you fakers, conformers, posers, etc. out there, I hate you. To all the real people who are affected by America's mistake and are struggling, you just got to keep on keeping on. I hope you can get through, move past this, and continue your lives just they way you want to.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
