The 15 Unspoken Rules Of Social Media

Our generation obsesses over social media. I mean seriously, we cannot go five minutes without scrolling through Facebook or Twitter. We post statuses to feel connected to our so called "friends" and crave the most "likes" possible just for our own self-satisfaction. Well, to help you survive in this cut-throat media driven world, here are some rules to follow.

1. Do not like that godly boy's Instagram picture first. He will think you are creepy.

2. When your Facebook-stalking the boy you kissed last weekend, you may find yourself on his best friend's, mother's, cousin's, profile page.

Do not accidentally friend them.

3. Make sure you send Instagram or Twitter screenshots to the right group chat.

4. Do not post a 300 second long Snapchat story. We all know you are at a party and we all know you are having fun.

5. If your Instagram profile consists of five or more selfies in a row, reevaluate your life.

6. Keep the hashtags to a minimum.


7. Posting an Instagram during "prime time" is essential.

8. Do not try to replicate someone else's Instagram posts. You are not "artsy" if you need to try.

9. If your crush did not answer your last four snapchats, chances are you should not send a fifth.

10. Better spell check that tweet, there is no going back.

11. When posting an infamous birthday collage, please do not use a billion pictures. Your followers would actually like to see what they are.

12. We get it. You broke up with your boyfriend. There is no need to tweet sappy love quotes for a straight week.

13. A selfie as your Snapchat story is never acceptable.

14. People will notice if delete and repost an Instagram.

15. Even if your best friend's Instagram is hideous, you are obligated to like it.

Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
