9 Reactions To Typical Facebook Posts As Told By 'The Office'
SSN Insider

A favorite pastime (and procrastination tool) of college students is social media. We're addicted to the mindless scrolling, our eyes constantly glued to our screens as we refresh apps every few minutes. With the extensive amount of time we spend online, we've grown accustomed to seeing the different types of posts. Here are 9 typical Facebook posts, as told by the cast of The Office.

1. The funny cat video

Who can resist watching those crazy felines chase unreachable lasers or fit into impossibly small boxes?


2. The too-personal breakup status

We get it, you're heartbroken. But do hundreds of acquaintances need to be reminded of it every time they log in?


3. The shopping haul photo album

How much money could you possibly make to afford ANOTHER car?!

 

4. Friends hacking other friend's accounts

I highly doubt Randy wears pink unicorn underwear, and if he did, he wouldn't be posting about it on Facebook. You're not fooling anybody.


5. ANOTHER engagement announcement

There's nothing like a couple who have known each other for two months letting everyone know how they're going to live happily ever after. Meanwhile, the rest of us are scrolling through and being reassured we'll be forever alone.


6. The bombardment of posts on your birthday

Don't you just love it when even your most distant of online acquaintances stop by your wall to wish you a happy birthday?


7. The provocative photos after a night out

Admit it, you're judging.

8. The infographics containing false information

No, sea lions aren't descendants of real lions. And no, this isn't an "alternative fact." Don't believe everything you read on the internet, kids.


9. Anything relatively obnoxious

I don't want to read that. Stop wasting my time, I'm trying to waste my time.


It's safe to say that millennials have a love-hate relationship with social media. While it can bring creative insight into our everyday lives, it can also be detrimental to our happiness if we become too preoccupied with it. So when you're scrolling through Facebook next, focus more on the good instead of the bad. More cat videos and happy birthday posts, less judgment and ignorance.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
