If You Don't Like What I Post, Unfriend Me

"It's as simple as that."

I post a variety of things on social media from mental health issues to global warming articles, to pictures of cute animals, to my personal thoughts and feelings, to pictures of my outings, to my opinion about certain political issues; the list is endless. However, I get chats or comments from people about how they do not like what I post simply because they do not like it. It is not that it offends them I do not think; they just don't care to see it. Well, all I can say is, if you don't like what I post, simply hit the unfriend button; it is really as simple as that.

I get that not everyone will agree with what everyone posts. If you don't like what a friend of yours posts simply because you do not agree, well tell them, unfriend them, or just keep scrolling and get over it.

I do not always agree with what people post. For instance, I do not like posts about the hate of Jews or making fun of Jewish people. I sometimes want to start a fight or say a comment, but rarely I do. Why? If I barely know that person, I won't waste my time. So luckily, there is an unfriend button for that.

I do not mind having a discussion with people on social media. But unless I really care about the issue or feel as though I deeply offended someone, I will either delete the post if it is someone I care about, sightly comment that person to privately chat me, or just like I said before, move about my day.

I do not get why people who I barely speak to will tell me not to post certain things simply because they do not want to see it. Why don't they just unfriend me? I do not get it.

Do what you want, it's your social media. Just be polite, less offensive, and smart about your posts that you can.

Others, if you don't like other people's posts, unfriend them and move on. There are worse things in life than getting mad about someone posting an article about mental health or global warming that you think should not be posted.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
