I'm So Tired Of Living In This Social Media Crazy Generation

Just because you follow me on social media does not mean you actually know me.

In this day and age, everything is so fast paced.

Everyone wants everything in the blink of an eye, we all know everything about each others' lives, and we all post about our own like everyone cares.

Sometimes I feel trapped and suffocated by all the noise, and I wonder if other people do, too.

Social media is both a blessing and a curse, and recently it's been more of a curse.

I'm getting to the point where I LITERALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Everyone posts about their every move and it's tiring to be in the middle of it.

You could say that it would be easier to just delete it all, but it's not that simple when you literally work on social media.

I have been reflecting a lot on relationship of this day, and I'm honestly disgusted.

I'm in college and the hookup culture is real, but part of it is exacerbated by social media. People stalk their partner's location, they check the last time they were active, and they feel the need to constantly be texting them.

There is no patience, no trust, and less fun in relationships because we are so desensitized to the chaos that it dating nowadays.

Lastly, I feel like everything is amplified. People pick out their outfits for the next weekend before the first one is over because they want their instagram to look amazing.

Others seem to think it is okay it insert themselves in my life because they think they know everything about it since they follow me on social media. You can't get a hold of me through text?

So you feel the need to instagram, facebook and twitter message me until I answer. Maybe I just don't want to talk. Social media is giving us a false sense of closeness where it doesn't exist.

Needless to say, I'm freaking tired of it. I want to go back to being five and riding my bike for fun.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
