I originally intended this for this article to be funny, but the Internet has actually taught me some serious stuff.

25 Things I’ve Learned On The Internet
MAWH

1. No matter how many times I see a funny video or meme I will still laugh for a solid 5-10 minutes.

2. If you need a laugh, look no further than Yahoo answers.

3. I am easily pissed off when people say dumb things - it literally takes everything I have to not start with them.

4. There is absolutely no limit to what people will post on the internet.

5. A political opinion cannot be expressed and be protected by the First Amendment. The poster will always fall victim to the wraith of those with opposite views. Free speech? Yeah, that doesn’t exist on the internet.

6. Filters are a lifesaver.

7. It is a common misconception that almost every disagreement must reach an immature level. Some girls will always resort to referring to another girl as “sis” when a disagreement become intense.

8. Some people have too much time on their hands. There is no need to post your entire day on your Snapchat story.

9. Memes about how dysfunctional your life is help you cope. They make it hurt that much less.

10. There is a SpongeBob meme for literally everything.

11. We have become absorbed in making our lives look fun and happy. Some of the saddest people can seem so happy.

12. Since people are good at masking hardship and sadness, try your best to be kind to everyone. You never really know what is going on in their life.

13. I miss vine - more and more with each one I rewatch.

14. If a picture isn’t good enough to post on Instagram, post it on Twitter.

15. Some people actually believe that “the Office isn’t that funny”.. how naive right?

16. Bonds are instantly made when people agree or have the same interests.

17. People usually have no idea what they’re talking about.

18. Social media is a useful tool in making sure your voice is heard. It can be used to inspire change and an easy way to get people involved in movements.

19. The way you express opinions is crucial. It’s not what you say it’s how you say it.

20. It’s not worth following people that don’t retweet funny content.

21. People live for other people to know what they are eating.

22. We are all stalkers in our own way.

23. People can’t live in the moment. They are always wishing they could go back.

24. Literally everything can be offensive.

25. Sometimes you need to log off. Social media breaks are extremely beneficial.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
