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.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
