Social media, when used right, is a great way to connect with friends and family you don't always get to spend time with in person. You've got your parents on Facebook, your brother on Twitter and your best friends on Snapchat. Awesome! So much fun, right? Except sometimes you accept people on your social media that make checking it a chore. They're always posting awful, stupid or just downright boring stuff. So here we go. Pull up your friends list and start reevaluating.

1. That guy from middle school who you don't even remember

We all have middle school and high school (possibly even elementary school) social media friends and followers who we couldn't even pick out of a lineup. They're usually posting something racist or something about horses. Both are bad and weird. Delete!

2. Anyone who broke your heart

No one whose picture it hurts to look at should be popping up on social media. Delete him or her off your Facebook and out of your life.

3. The incessant poster

It's non-stop posts with this girl (or guy), and they're incredibly pointless. 6+ posts every day on Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter is TOO MUCH. And just when you thought she couldn't find another meme to share, there it is. Delete her and you won't ever have to see Salt Bae again (unless you want to!).

4. That person you went on one date with

You met on Tinder, or maybe even in real life if you're into that sort of thing. Regardless, it didn't work out for one reason or another, and for some reason, you keep watching their snap stories. They're not even interesting. Delete!

5. That 1,000 selfies a day person

Is she trying to meet a quota? Does he think he's going to get a modeling contract out of an album of gym selfies? Who cares. Get rid of them.

6. The arguer

This person loves politics...a bit too much. You can usually find them @ing people who support the political figure they hate on Twitter or arguing with their aunt's hairstylist in the comment section of a status. Life is easier without this person. Delete!

7. The way too friendly stranger

You had an intro to astronomy class with this guy three years ago and haven't seen him since. He likes every single picture or status you post, and his comments are usually creepy. Let's all say it together— Delete!

8. Your Racist/homophobic, misogynistic aunt

Aunt Linda is the worst. Get rid of her, or if your dad says you can't delete family, at least unfollow her. Now you only have to hate her at holidays!

Happy deleting!
