The 7 Most Annoying Facebook Status Updates

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.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
