A "finsta" is a second private account made on Instagram made by someone to post rebellious or embarrassing photos. While most Instagram accounts are private, these accounts are usually made for someone's closest followers.Those who create these accounts won't include their real names to keep a low profile. It's common for most college students to have funny and embarrassing pictures or videos hidden on their phones from throughout the year. A "finsta" is used when you wouldn't post a certain photo/video for the general public. A handful of these accounts are used to post pictures with alcohol or drugs. It's time to delete these accounts, because your future may depend on it.

Social media is growing every single day. However, what we post on the internet could make or break your career. There have been hundreds of people who have lost their jobs or couldn't get hired due to what they post online. Businesses have the ability to gain access to all your social media platforms. They do this to research whether you're qualified for the job or if you're an ideal fit for their position.

Just because your name isn't in your username and your account is private doesn't mean that they don't have the ability to find your account. Posting pictures of alcohol or passing out on a Friday night won't look good when you're trying to land your dream job. I have nothing against posting a tasteful picture after a night out with friends, but if your parents shouldn't see it, then it shouldn't be posted at all.

Before you post anything, you need to think to yourself, "Would I want my parents or future employer to see this?" When you post on the internet, it's there forever. It doesn't matter if you delete the post or the account. There is always someone out there who could've gotten ahold of the post. This article isn't aimed to attack anyone who has a Finsta. This is simply to warn everyone of how risky it can be.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

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.
