25 Things I’ve Learned On The Internet

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

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
