Seriously though, how many days a week do you go out to brunch?

The Top 10 Instagram Posts That Just Need To Stop

With every year comes a handful of new social media trends, whether it's Instagram photos, types of tweets, or videos on Facebook. I'll admit, I have sunk into the social media trends from time to time, and yes, they are super intriguing (and not to mention visually appealing). We simply need to recycle out some of these trends, however, and make room for new ones in 2016. Here are some examples:

1. The Study Shot

I can understand the origin of these photos, considering I am an absolute pro at procrastinating. The only difference is that my desk is usually an endless pile of papers and books, not at all neatly assembled in an artsy fashion. It also wouldn't be complete without one's hands conveniently resting on the trackpad. (All jokes aside, S/O to my girl Demi B for this pic; I'm not going to pretend like I don't envy your photography skills on a daily basis.)

2. Replying to Your Own Tweet

...so that it becomes resurrected into all your followers' feeds. We see right through you.

3. The Artsy Latte Shot

We get it, you drink fancy-looking coffee. It was probably cold by the time you finished getting the perfect shot of it.

4. The Overhead Meal Shot

How did the food assemble itself so perfectly on your table? Is your waitress a visual mastermind? I probably would've inhaled my meal without looking back before I could even think of taking a photo of it. (Love you, Dems.)

5. The Double Slash

It seems that lots of Instagram users have been using this one in their captions. You know, the "//" between sentences when a period just wasn't good enough. They're typically surrounding a white girl quote, as well.

6. The Calligraphy Shot

Alright, I'm not even going to act like I'm not jealous of people's skills when it comes to these little inspirational pieces of art. My hand would most likely be unusable due to severe cramping after such an event.

7. Selfie Sunday

Let's be honest, we're getting a bit old for that.

8. The Purse Shot

Is it really possible for the contents of one's purse to tumble out in such a perfect way? I'm pretty sure the only things that come out of my purse at the end of the day are receipts and gum wrappers.

9. The Messy Sheets Pic

We've all seen the pictures of one's perfectly white sheets in a slightly crumpled mess, typically with their legs or laptop resting comfortably upon it. The part that blows my mind is how they even manage to take a picture from an angle like this. Are their bodies bent in half? Is someone else taking it for them? We'll never know.

10. The Overhead Vinyl Shot

I love music as much as the next person, but my life would probably be in danger if I had to stand on a piece of furniture to get this shot for my Insta feed.

So, considering all of the above, what can we vow to keep in 2016?

Those Buzzfeed Tasty videos where they make the food in front of you. Duh.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
