You can't deny it. Snapchat is a necessity to college. It keeps you in the know with people's lives (whether or not you actually care). It helps you know where to go, when to go and who is there. Snapchat has been with us for about five years, but it has not been until the last two that it has really taken off. With the addition of snap stories, filters, and texting/video, things have gotten interesting on this simple concept of an app. I, personally, use Snapchat on the daily basis, and I am actually ashamed of that. Why would I use an app that I absolutely despise? Well, everyone else is doing it; like would I even exist if I did not have a Snapchat? Not sure.

Here are 10 of the many reasons Snapchat is the bane of my existence:

1. Total time waster.

I feel like I spend so much of my time trying to get the purple plus sign on the corner of my screen to go away. I kind of hate having unwatched stories...so I will spend minutes watching other people having way more fun than me at some party or concert while I lay in my room by myself with chocolate milk and Netflix. Lame.

2. You can't control what is on others' stories.

Did someone just film your ugly stare off into the distance in a meeting? Did they just zoom into your nostrils or your gaping open mouth? Probably. And they are posting it on their story for everyone to see. Good luck.

3. Drains battery/data.

I will Snapchat a friend for a little bit and literally half of my battery will be gone. What?

4. Ex-boyfriends/girlfriends.

There is nothing better than seeing your ex on your friend's snap story. Are they like hanging out now? Geez, you moved on quick. Oh, and I am glad you chose one of my good friends. Thank ya.

5. Remember when best friends were visible?

Ha. I remember in high school so many people caught cheating over who was on someone's best friends list. Snapchat was a bad choice for cheaters.

6. Screen. Shots.

Did you just send the ugliest selfie? It will probably end up in your birthday post in five months on Instagram. Yay.

7. When people try to have conversations...

Wait...what were we talking about again?

8. Relationship ruiner.

Is your boyfriend's ex snapping him every time you see his phone light up? What could they possibly be sending to each other? Am I right?

9. What are these filters?

The new filters range from terrifying to hilarious, and am I the only one who is completely confused by the purpose of them?

10. You just can't delete it.

I swear I have told myself multiple times to just get rid of it, but I just CAN'T.
