The Best Advice From Social Media

Social media is becoming more influential as a “news outlet” but it is also about to become a certified therapist. (Please seek professional help if you need it, though.) Here are seven of the best pieces of advice I’ve seen on social media.

7. “Be so caught up in your own life that you don’t have time to judge others for theirs.”

(An excerpt from a Twitter.)

6. This one was just cute.

(Found on Google)

5. YOU GOT THIS.

Remember how in "Elf," belief powered a whole sled and made children everywhere happy? That could be you if you believed in yourself. Except instead of making billions of humans happy through Santa, you can start with yourself--because you aren't Santa Claus. Just an FYI. You don't have to do his job.

4. Keep on movin’. You, my friend, are awesome.

(Google)

3. This next piece of advice resonates with many people, but it is hard to grasp. I struggle with it every day.

A workplace is different from other environments, because you should at least somewhat care about what people think of your work and how capable you are of doing it. But, in life, it can be so hard to not care about what people think, even when you have the rest of the world to contend with. This applies to all types of relationships; romantic, friendly, familial, etc. Just realize that your time is valuable and your worth is not changed by what other people think of you.

2. It’s okay to not play it cool all the time. Love what you like, even if others don’t.

(Twitter)

1. Love is such a complicated thing, but this kid nails it.

(Twitter)

One last thing!

I would like to share some more with you! I also love to give advice just like old Dr. Social Media.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
