What Your Facebook Posts Say About You

Facebook is one of those social media outlets that isn’t being utilized as much as it had been in the past. Most people now just use it to check in with family, add pictures, and share a plethora of different articles/videos.

Cooking Videos

For the people sharing cooking videos, much like myself, want to become better cooks. We see something tasty and want to try it out for ourselves. It’s a miracle if the recipe ever makes it to the kitchen, though.

Animal Videos

It’s OK to be obsessed with animals. You can’t help that they do cute things all the dang time! It happens. People might get tired of seeing video after video of cats doing random things, though. Hopefully these videos of bears playing with balloons or a monkey playing with cats will bring happiness to your friends and family of Facebook!

Pictures of Your Life

Facebook is good for sharing your life with friends and family. Sometimes it’s used to show that you do, in fact, have a life outside of being a crazy cat lady. Although, let’s be honest, most of your pictures are of you and your cat, anyway!

Movie Trailers

These are fun, because who doesn’t love movies? Whether or not you took the time to watch the trailer or just thought it looked good, you can save it for later and go see the movie when it comes out, even though you will probably forget when it comes out.

DIY Projects

Let’s be honest, that three-tiered pot for plants is great, but are you ever going to make it? Probably not, but you’re showing Facebook you have an eye for things you want to try to make! You’re creative and that’s all that counts!

Politics

Politics is something you see all over Facebook, well, all social media, basically. It shows you have something to say, whether you did your homework or not. There have been some good political debates between some interesting people on Facebook, so watch for those!

Pictures of Quotes

Sometimes writing posts can get tiring, I mean, who has time for that nowadays unless you are riled up? Instead, you can just post pictures of your favorite quotes! Half the work with some semi good quotes!

Funny Videos/Vines

These are the videos you watch when you are bored or when you should be sleeping, but instead you are laughing hysterically at these videos. You can’t help but share them, so that they bring laughter to everyone else. Plus, if you ever need a good laugh, you know where to find it.

Articles From News Stations

Whether it’s news from your hometown news station or a national news station, these articles/videos show that you are somewhat trying to keep up with current events and can talk about them! You also might just love your hometown and want everyone to know all about what goes on there.

Exercise Videos

“I really need to start exercising, but I just don’t want to go to the gym,” is a daily thought that I have. I have also shared a lot of exercising videos on Facebook. While scrolling through Facebook, the exercises done look great and can be done at home! It always seems like a good idea to save it, even if you never look at it again!

Articles/Videos That You Cannot Believe Exist

The articles and videos just blew your mind and now you can’t wait to show all of your friends and family what that cat can do or the new restaurant for homeless people to “eat with dignity."

Facebook is your one stop shop for anything and everything you could ever want to look up! You can have your personal pictures, meals/crafts you may or may not make, and anything else you could ever want!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
