As if pretending to care about people's lives wasn't already hard enough in person.

9 Posts We Wish Would Stop Showing Up on Our Feeds

The list of annoying posts that show up on your feed could probably go on forever, but here are some of the by far most common ones that make you roll your eyes and consider deleting your social media once and for all.

1. Another photo of someone's dog doing nothing.

We get it, you have a dog. Yes, he's cute and yes, we know you love him, but after the fifth photo of him lying on the couch, enough is enough

2. Your friend's daily photo of their baby.

Giphy

You can only comment variations of "How cute!" so many times. Eventually it gets a little difficult to pretend another photo of your friend's baby sticking their tongue out is the most adorable thing you've ever seen.

3. Yet another snapchat of your roommate's OOTD.

Giphy

It's about time people stop thinking everyone is so keenly interested in what they chose to put on this morning. Most of us put minimal effort into going to class and could go without another mirror selfie of you admiring your wardrobe.

4. Any Finsta account

Giphy

Just when you thought social media couldn't get any more centered around self-absorption, Finstas became a thing. The fact that so many people genuinely believe that other people need daily updates on their very ordinary lives is mind boggling. There's no need for the equivalent of a diary entry to be shared with virtually everyone you know.

5. A polaroid with bad lighting and an artsy caption.

Giphy

Everyone follows that one girl who spends her weekends at music festivals and always seems to pick the photo that makes her look most like a fun-loving hippie born in the wrong decade.

6. The blurriest photo they could find.

Giphy

Somehow posting blurry photos from a night out with friends has become a trend. It seems like people don't realize the rest of us realize you're simply trying to prove just how drunk you were last night.

7. Obligatory birthday posts.

Giphy

There are plenty of ways to show your friends you love them on their birthday like telling them that in person. The rest of your hundreds of followers don't need to be a part of the celebration, nor do they want to be included.

8. The guy who went to your high school who loves to post "deep" tweets.

Giphy

To say it's narcissistic to think every thought you have ought to be shared with the rest of us is an understatement, so don't be surprised that you're so-called profound tweet on the origins of the universe doesn't go viral.

9. Snap stories of heavy drinking.

Giphy

It's no secret social media is made for bragging, but these get to be a bit excessive. Whether you're trying to prove to your Snapchat friends that you're popular or let everyone know that you do indeed drink alcohol, these posts may be the least subtle effort of trying to appear cool out there. There's no harm in having some fun but videos of you and your college buddies chugging vodka from the bottle isn't something your followers care to see.

You may not agree with all the posts listed, and may in fact be guilty of posting more than one, but it's safe to say we can all agree that some people ought to spend a little extra time considering if what they're posting is really all that interesting.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
