Social Media In Real Life

What would it be like if social media truly was our lives?

Social Media In Real Life
yourdestinyfulfilled.wordpress.com

Social media is such a massive part of everyday life. However, it’s exactly that -- social media. What we do online and what we do in person are very different. It got me thinking about what life would be like if people were like apps. After all, we use it so much we may as well just be icons on our smart phones! If life was like social media there would surely be no dull moments. Let’s go on a journey of technology coming to life…

1) Facebook

Imagine that whenever you saw someone, you can see every part of their life for the last 6 or more years. It would definitely take away the tediousness of getting to know someone. You could see all their random thoughts, pictures, likes, and friends. You'd know them like a family member in 5 minutes!

2) Twitter

Twitter has a 140 character limit per tweet. Imagine having to cut off what you were saying because you ran out of words. Also, there would be hostages used in normal conversations. Conversations would be only based on whats trending. You'd have hundreds-millions of people following you around everywhere. You’d want more people following you, especially celebrities. It sounds really creepy now that I’m really thinking about it.

3) Instagram

You would need to take a picture to say anything because any conversation would need to be based off of a picture. Also anyone would be able to see what you were talking about and we’d care way too much about people liking us. There would be too much double tapping for personal space ever again.

4) Snapchat

First off the person would disappear after 10 seconds. It would be much easier to forget what you were talking about if you don’t get back to them immediately. Also the world would be very filtered with dogs, rainbow mouths, foxes, and more. Also, you’d never forget where you were because you’d always have geotags around. The date would also be easy to remember and you’d never have to ask what time it was.

5) VSCO

Much like Instagram, except even less explanation and much more filters. Life would be like a silent stop motion movie.

6) Vine

Everything would have to be done in 6.5 seconds. Basically our attention spans would be even shorter than they already are if we lived our lives like a vine. (#RIPVine)

7) Musical.ly

We’d be having conversations in only songs and not normal words. Also there would be many different angles and closeups of a person, probably ending up making you dizzy.

8) Pinterest

If you want your entire life to be an artsy DIY, you want your life to be Pinterest. If life was like pinterest we’d just be full of inspiring decorations and life hacks. But life would also be very frustrating because let’s face it, who can really figure out how to do half the things you see on pinterest?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
