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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
