13 Embarrassing Facebook Crimes We've All Committed

I'm only a little bit ashamed of these things.

13 Embarrassing Facebook Crimes We've All Committed
Rachel Kainer

Everybody has those embarrassing moments they think back on years later and wish had never happened. Sometimes it's something you can't control, but more often than not it's something you said or did that seemed cool at the time. Now thanks to social media, our best and worst embarrassing moments can live on forever. Even if you delete them, they always find a way back to you. Dating all the way back to middle school, here are some of the most embarrassing Facebook trends we've all been guilty of following. And for your own amusement, I've used my own Facebook posts.

1. Posting inside jokes that nobody understands but you and your friends

Clearly we thought this was funny enough to post, but I have no idea what it means today.

2. Publishing notes and tagging other people so they would have to do them too.

This was really popular at my school. I'm not sure why we felt the need to post one hundred personal facts on the Internet.


3. "Hacking" your friend's Facebook and posting about how much they love you.

I do love Rachael soooo much, but I don't think everybody loved seeing posts like this all the time.

4. Dramatic posts about how much your day sucked.

When I look at this I think to myself, "really Rachel?" Did the pool guy coming to clean the pool really ruin your whole day?

5. Dramatic posts about how much your day rocked.

Yeah, I have no idea what happened that day.

6. Posting quotes or song lyrics as your status.

I used to post a lot of emotional song lyrics and quotes. I'm glad that isn't a thing anymore.

7. Highly edited (often Picnik) photos.

Although everyone still edits the photos they post today, at least they don't look like this anymore.

8. Posting albums full of Photo Booth photos.

Again, not sure what my thought process was in posting this and pictures like this.

9. Poke wars...

What is the point of the poking function? I never understood that, still don't.

10. Posting a play-by-play of your entire day.

Or the entire weekend in my case. I'm sure that nobody cared about what I did that weekend.

11. "Like for a tbh," "like for a confession" and other similar posts.

You have to wonder how honest people are when they post something on Facebook for the world to see.

12. "Like this status if..."

"Like this status if you're going to the football game." "Like this status if you have 'B' lunch." I don't think I ever acted on any of these posts.

13. Having your friends listed as family members

This one is self-explanatory.

I don't post statuses that often on Facebook anymore, but I'm hoping that I won't look back at the things I'm posting today and regret.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
