We all know how huge social media is for our generation. It obviously has its perks, but I've noticed some serious downfalls! Relationships nowadays are ending because of a simple "like" or "favorite." It's honestly a shame and it needs to stop. Here are some tips to help anyone in need of how to deal with your relationship while on social media! Feel free to share this with your friends and significant other.

#1 : Stay Lowkey but not Nonexistent!

You do not have to post every single thing your significant other does or doesn't do for you. It's okay if your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't post about you all the time. It's not the end of the world I promise! Your relationship is worth so much more than a post!


#2 : Keep the fighting off of the internet!

I can't tell you how many times I've seen couples argue online. It's embarrassing and it gives everyone on the outside a chance to get into your business, and that is one thing you definitely do not want! It looks childish when you argue online, because you can definitely keep that to yourself and deal with the situation like an adult offline. Trust me, it gets kind of awkward when outsiders know all of your business!


#3 : Don't believe everything that you see online!

You can not compare your boyfriend/girlfriend to a twitter post or as we all know it as "relationship goals." You don't know what that couple had to do to make it to where they are today! You don't know what's really going on behind closed doors! Don't be depressed because your boyfriend hasn't bought you a Pandora ring. Be patient and make sure you're in a committed relationship before you even start to worry about things like that.


#4 Talk in person!

Communication is very important in a relationship. Try to talk in person to avoid confusion and further arguments from occurring!


#5 Be patient!

I know you've heard the saying, "good things come to those who wait." Don't think that you'll be instantly showered with gifts instantly in a relationship. Social media does a great job with giving people false hope. Don't get caught in the trap!

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.

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!
