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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
