What To Do When You Are Offended On Facebook

Why are we becoming so sensitive now a days? It seems like the littlest thing will set someone off. I've seen people post innocent jokes on Facebook that has no intent on hurting anyone and it sparked an argument that lead to threats. What is the need for that? I am convinced everyone just gets on to Facebook now just to argue and be offended by everything.

It seems like everything has to be about race and gender now. I'm not here to argue but there are certainly problems regarding the two, but not every single little thing should be about that. If you live that way you will never be happy. You'll constantly feel like you're walking on eggshells or constantly feel offended by everything. My advice? RELAX. If you're constantly offended by things online, take a deep breath, close the app or webpage. It's that simple. If a person constantly harasses you, block that person. There is no need to let something so small, that doesn't effect you, ruin your day. It also doesn't hurt to do research on things before you lose your cool over something. It keeps you informed and not looking like an idiot.

A another thing I've seen on Facebook is that my friends or family will share or post something things that pretty much say how tough they are and nothing offends them. But if you share anything that goes against their political view or view of the world....they suddenly change from tough to offended. Again like I said earlier if something truly offends you online BLOCK IT. It is really not that hard. And if you have a family member that constantly shares and posts things that you don't like, delete as a friend on there and send them a friend request when election season is over.

Don't let your distant relative, that friend you barely talk to, or that guy you work with offend you by their post on Facebook.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
