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.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
