We all don’t realize how much time we spend on a daily basis scrolling through the Facebook newsfeeds. We mindlessly scan the endless page and then scroll back to the top and refresh 20 minutes later. We continue this process until there are no longer new updates and before you know it almost an hour has passed and you haven’t even started your homework.

1. Honestly don’t know who you are….

Remember when you first got a Facebook and accepted and friended everyone and all their friends until you will left with no more “People You May Know?” Well now it’s too hard to tell the randos from the people you actually care about until that random mirror selfie pro pic pops up. At some point you’re going to have to sift through the 3,000 + friends and block and unfriend the creepers.

2. But first… let's scroll past your selfies

Honestly I’m guilty of posting a selfie here and there. But we all have those Facebook friends who only post selfies. Selfies with ice cream, mirror selfies while shopping, selfies in the bathroom, embarrassing selfies of friends, selfie pro pics…ENDLESS. Let’s cool it with the selfies and add some normal pictures with beautiful smiley faces instead.

3. Reveal the original photo!

Your teeth aren’t that white, you have alien eyes, you’re kind of orange and the wall is literally bending to the shape of your body. There are those friends who over edit their pictures to the point that it’s embarrassing. Come on people embrace your natural self and quit trying to be someone else--- we all see you in person for who you really are.

4. The VSCO addict

People make their lives look prettier and cooler by adding the VSCO camera application presets. There’s no way that cappuccino and salad looked that good in person. VSCO gives you the chance to look edgy, artsy, and vintage on Facebook, but make sure to delete the caption “Processed with VSCO” or everyone will know your secret.

5. The Dangerous “Suggested Post”

D*** behavioral targeting and cookies in our computer. Literally creepy that Facebook knows exactly what I was looking at when I was online shopping. If I didn’t buy it there is no doubt that same product will show up as a suggested post. The cute dress I wanted to buy, but second-guessed because it was too expensive will always haunt me as a suggested post.

6. The ex’s new bae

I envy our parents because they never knew what there ex was doing EVER. Literally Facebook opens the door to seeing who your ex is with now and even who they end up with in the future EW. Like no thanks I don’t want to see you proposing to your girlfriend when you and I had such a potential future.

7. The sped up cooking videos

These torturous 30 second- 1 minute videos are the worst thing to see when you scroll down the newsfeed. After a day of trying to eat healthy you not only crave sweets, but you realize that you are about to procrastinate on your homework even more to go to the grocery and get all of the ingredients. The worst part is that your baking didn’t turn out nearly anything like the video showed, but you choose to eat them anyway.

8. Study abroad pictures

BRB crying while I’m stranded at college with the same class routine eating the same dining hall meals everyday while you’re off traveling the world. It’s so great coming home after a long day and opening Facebook to pictures of your friends eating exotic foods, tanning on sandy white beaches, and legally drinking wine in the vineyards of Italy. About to drop out of school and use my tuition to book plane tickets traveling the world or hide in someone's suitcase before they leave.

9. When you realize your mom, aunt, uncle, cousin, and grandparents all are friends with you….

I don’t know what it is, but relatives above the age of 40 write Facebook posts like they are emails.

“Hey pretty niece, it looks like you’re having an amazing time at college. Don’t party too hard and keep up those grades. Much love from Auntie Jannet”

Seriously love my relatives so much—their social media presence just makes me laugh. I always look forward to the phone calls asking how to change their profile pictures.

10. The endless relatable articles

“30 things to thank your freshman year roommate for” is just one of the titles we always see in our newsfeed. I always have an obsession with reading and posting those articles. For some reason I feel like they were written specifically for me, even though they weren’t at all. I love reading an article and being able to reflect on how true it is.

It’s weird to think that Facebook wasn’t a thing 10 years ago, but now it plays such a huge role in our society. I always question what it would be like if no one had a Facebook. I wonder if in the future Facebook will die out or if we will know what our middle school friends’ grandchildren look like… so scary to think about. I think I will always have a love hate relationship with Facebook, but couldn’t picture my daily routine without it.
