Instagram. Twitter. Facebook. Snapchat. Pinterest. We have so many different platforms that grow in size every day. I feel like sometimes people forget that the information they are posting is accessible to anyone, which isn't always a good thing. Here are 16 things people do that are annoying on social media.

1. When that one person offers us way too much information.

We do not need to know that you had a dentist appointment. Unless something unusual happened, we don't really care.

2. When people try to be relatable.

I don't understand how those kinds of posts go viral still. They aren't quirky or funny, they are just getting old.

3. When pictures of food became a thing.

Not necessary.

4. When someone posts the same picture multiple times.

I see a lot of people doing this on Instagram, where they have different poses in the same location and they post them ALL in a little album. Stop at two, maximum.

5. When two people have an entire conversation catching up on their lives.

Take this to the DMs, people.

6. When the same person shares 10 workout videos.

We get it. You work out.

7. When someone posts a mirror pic with a duck face.

I did not think that I would be having to say this in 2018. I thought we would get past it.

8. When people get into political arguments.

I am all for being an active voice and using your platform to spread the word, but your word does not need to be aggressive and spreading negative vibes on my feed.

9. When people post #ad.

It's insane to me that people get paid to post a picture on Instagram or to promote a company's product on social media.

10. When Instagram created the Explore Page.

What is Instagram's algorithm? Because my explore page is whack.

11. When someone tells us they had lunch at Chipotle in Renton?

Ask yourself if this is vital information that I need to know.

12. When people post about the weather.

Yes, we know it's snowing. I have been playing it all morning.

13. When people only retweet and don't tweet themselves.

Be creative, people!

14. When the same tweet circulates.

I will see the same viral joke from 20 different accounts. Stop!

15. When *someone* tweets information that contains government intel.

I'm looking at you, Trump.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
