The 7 Most Annoying Facebook Status Updates
venturebeat.com

Social Media is great, don’t get me wrong but we all have those friends who go a little overboard with their postings. There’s always that friend who invites you to play Farmville or shares questionable news articles that aren’t from legitimate sources. Here are 7 Facebook status updates that we all are tired of seeing:

1. The “Let’s see who reads my status” post.

If I’m friends with you on Facebook, there’s a very high chance that I’m going to see your recent status update. However, I won’t comment back the first place we met, what your favorite color is, or what my favorite memory of us is. No, I will not update my status to see “who reads it”, I will scroll past your status and ignore your recent post.

2. When people post melodramatic and obscure stuff.

Frowny face. Today sucks. Life sucks. Never ever again. Screw it all. So over it...I don’t want to see how shitty your life is. That’s not what Facebook is for. “So over it.” What are you over? Talk to someone who can help you and don’t be so vague because others won’t understand what you’re saying.

3. “This is a simple test. If you love God and you are not afraid to show it, repost.”

Look, I get it. I’m a practicing Episcopalian and realize that it’s important to speak with Our Father. Seeing a square box with this phrase in it is not exactly what I call a spiritual awakening.

4. Huge group messages.

I want to leave this conversation because I don’t want a million notifications.

5. When you’re tagged in a photo that you’re not actually in.

“'If you can dream it you can achieve it'? Oh, I should tag all my friends in that!"

I don’t need to be tagged in a quote that says something like, "Life is the beauty that the arrow swings in the wind." If I’m not in the picture, I don’t want to be tagged in the picture.

6. “Like and Share if…”; “If you don’t share this…”; “If you have a heart you will…”

I know how to use Facebook. If I agree with something that you post, I’ll probably like it (or share it if it’s something relatable to me). If I don’t share something, I can guarantee you that nothing will happen to me — I already have bad luck. I won’t find $20 on the ground and I won’t fine the love of my life just because I repost something. I don’t think I have to expand on my last bullet point. If I didn’t have a heart, I wouldn’t be here writing this article.

7. “I’m deleting my Facebook.”

You’re literally just making this status so that people will tell you that they’ll miss you. I guarantee you, you’ll be back on the grid in no time.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
