10 Things Everyone Is Sick Of Seeing On Social Media
Twitter

Don't get me wrong. This isn't ignorance, or lack of knowledge, or refusal to consider all aspects of the important things going on in the world. It's just simply a list of some things that never go a day without appearing on twitter, Instagram, every news station, magazine, and media one could access. Especially considering that the first few topics, like most, are extremely controversial and there is actually no right or wrong belief. Some are just harsh aspects that people don't want to be forced to see on their timeline. Most are twitter-related aggravations, relating to people that are just as unnecessarily bitter as myself and love to complain in list form with a passion.

1. Everyone's opinion with Trumps speeches, family, candidacy, life, looks, beliefs. I am NEVER one to discuss politics. Ever. And this is not saying that the candidates for our future president shouldn't be on every news outlet and media accessible, just that it is everywhere. Moments ago when I logged on, the first 12 articles on my news feed were blasted with Trump pictures and articles. And every other tweet is Trump. *sighs*

2. Everyone's opinion on Hilary's speeches, family, candidacy, life, looks, beliefs.
We get it people. The first 1,235 twitter tweets with beef over candidates were entertaining, and only the first 16,785 Clinton/Trump memes were actually giggled at.

3. GIRLS: THE OUTFIT/COOL STUFF RETWEETS. We all know what i'm talking about. The comfy shorts, the phone case that sticks to stuff when no one reallyneeds their phone to stick to stuff, the awesome burgundy matching P!NK set. But it's all a lie. Most of it is promoted from some bologna china online store, and the picture featured is the only decent one made.*Haters will say it's a fake, cause honey it actually is* Or some random person tweeted it and it spread to anonymous girl accounts and you never actually hear of a store. Or P!NK is forever sold out of the burgundy bra, sweats, underwear and sweatshirt combo BUT you see that sixth grader in the mall with an iphone 6 plus wearing it and just shrivel up and die.


(Just a little girl code FYI, I too thought I could transform to KJenner with these shades, but I can't start my transformation until I actually receive the glasses. Which, I got a confirmation email for my order, over a month ago, and still haven't got. I guess some one is graciously WALKING them to me from China, where I failed to assume they were actually coming from. I fell in the twitter girl trap.)

4. Police brutality videos. Enough was enough when I saw a man's actual blood spray on a car, and enough was MORE than enough when I saw a dog seize on Twitter from being sprayed with police bullets. AGAIN. These are things that need should be talked about, yes, but it is a lot for a human lover/dog lover to see when they're expecting puppy vids and friends comical response to their horrible day on their timeline at 2:30 am.

5. Police interacting with the neighborhood kid stories. Jk, these are actually always awesome. But they don't necessarily need to show up every where. Police do these things every day, and shouldn't need to be blasted on social media to convince people that there are decent people out there with a badge.

6. Dogs suffering from abuse and rescued by shelters. Again, these vids are actually always awesome cause the dogs make such a kick-ass come back. But I can't cry two hours worth of makeup off my face in the parking lot of work because I got here too early and decided to scroll through Facebook vids to kill time. I was expecting some vid on how to make some delicious thing with cheese and bacon on the tastey page, not a puppy with one leg left to die in a ditch that actually ended up finding a home, after 3 minutes 20 seconds of pure torture.

7. The new trend of Arthur memes. I really need to stop lying to myself. They're actually all funny. II mean, you did open this article by seeing the headline with an Arthur meme. But this is also like, day three of me seeing them. Day four brings new moods. It's like the 2016 version of the SO over-used Katy Perry dancing shark meme.


8. ALL the blasting/complaints/problems/copying accusations/etc. over Kylie Cosmetics. This is only a complaint because she's only 20 days older than me and I can't sell my car for a fifty dollars but she sells out for millions in under a minute. Plus the ultimate fear of getting one of the problematic products, and bitter I can't/don't want to afford it in the first place.

9. Girl-beach pictures. During Spring break its an over whelming week of knee-down in the sand poses, sorority girl hand signal poses, and lay-down-seemingly-casual-tanning-who-did-you-make-take-this-of-you pictures, but during summer it seems never ending. But again, mostly bitter cause I mean girl's summer bodies.

10. REPOSTS REPOSTS REPOSTS. Reading a timeline and seeing a genuinely well thought-out, relate-able, hilarious tweet is such a mood changer. And in the back of your head you're always like, wow, this person is really funny, let me check out their page. And then over the next month you see it on every. anonymous. comedy. twitter account. ever. And of course you get second hand aggravation for the OG twitter comedian without even getting credit. (P.S. If you've seen retweets from her page you have no other choice but to follow it unless you don't enjoy HILARIOUS relate-able college tweets on your TL)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
