Instagram Adds a Like Button to The Comment Section

Finally, Instagram has added a like button to their comment section.

Instagram Adds a Like Button to The Comment Section

Social media apps have been updating their platforms to keep up with the latest trends and requests of their users, but there is one update in particular that has earned my praise. Instagram has finally added a like button to their comment section. THANK THE LORD!

Instagram has a visually unique platform, but they fall flat when it comes to the details. Their comment section, in particular, has been lacking for quite some time. I think everyone has experienced that uncomfortable moment when they post a picture, have multiple people comment on it, and then are left wondering: do I reply to each comment separately or can I reply to all of them in one post? Do I even have to comment back? Should I just delete their comment and act like they never said anything? (I actually have deleted someone’s Instagram comment, but it was an accident. And it was the best accident I have ever made because there was no longer a comment to respond too.)

With Instagram’s new update, however, we have been alleviated of our first world problem. Users are now able to like the comments left on other people's post as well as their own. You no longer have to decide which comment to respond to and which comment to pretend you never saw.

And as an added bonus, this update is just in time for the holidays when your family decides to comment how much they miss you on your totally unrelated Insta photo of the avocado toast you had for breakfast. Everyone gets a like for Christmas! Happy Holidays!

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

As any other person on this planet, it sometimes can be hard to find the good in things. However, as I have always tried my hardest to find happiness in any and every moment and just generally always try to find the best in every situation, I have realized that your own happiness is much more important than people often think.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
