6 Things Everyone Should Keep Off Facebook

Facebook is a platform that people use to express themselves. However, there are a few instances where you should keep those expressions to yourself. Here are six things people shouldn't put on Facebook.

1. Your Relationship Status, #MakingItOfficial

This is private information. Not everyone needs to know that you are in a relationship for the third time this year. You putting up your relationship status gives everyone the key to your personal life. Plus it can get seriously awkward if things happen to turn sour and end. This just causes for an awkward moment of you having to remove your relationship status. Honestly, we are all happy you are sooooooo in love, but keep it off Facebook.

2. Family Drama

If your family is having some sort of conflict, running to Facebook to rant about it is not the best idea. Posting family drama on Facebook not only makes it awkward for the parties involved to see, but also everyone that scrolls by it. Instead of running to Facebook to talk about the issues your family is facing maybe consider going to the family member that is causing the problem and talking it out? #CommunicationIsKey

3. GPA's/Dean's List

I am happy for you that you got on the Dean's List this semester. Honestly it's an amazing accomplishment and I’m so proud of you studious students that made it onto the list for this past semester. Chances are if you are posting about your GPA or making it on the Dean's List, you excelled and did very well. This is essentially “rubbing it in” to everyone else on Facebook that didn't exactly do well. People every semester post their GPA’s and Dean's List achievements when in reality, Jimbob that you met in second grade that sees this pop up on his timeline doesn't really care. Once again, this is private information, information you usually share with your family. Facebook is filled with many people I am sure you consider acquaintances. So go ahead, share with your family, text them and send them pictures … but keep it off Facebook.

4. Degrading Posts About People's Religious/Political Views

Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I think it's time we start being adults and remember that everyone has different views that will sometimes differ from our own. Your 14 paragraph long status is most likely not going to change anyone's opinion. The most it is probably going to do is create World War Three amongst your friends on Facebook. #AgreeToDisagree

5. Pictures of Being Drunk

I am sure you are friends on Facebook with plenty of people who are your family members, family friends, old teachers and maybe even bosses. Posting pictures of you being drunk for everyone to see is far from classy. Even if you are not the one who posts the picture, you are just tagged in it, you can hide it from your timeline or untag yourself from the picture. I am not too sure your family, bosses or people that respect you want to see how you looked at 2am last Saturday night with a beer in your hand. #KeepItClassy

6. Game Requests

No Auntie Sue and Grandma Loreen, I will not send you another life in Candy Crush or another horse in Farmville.

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.
