Selective PDA on Social Media

Majority of girls love seeing Thomas Rhett post on his Instagram, Instagram story, etc. about his love for his wife. Most people love seeing him post about his adoration for her. The songs he has written we are flattered over and wish that we could be her. Yet, if someone was posting the same things on their social media that was not famous, we might find that overly PDAish.

We find it so strange these days, when couples we personally know posting or showing their love for their significant other, that it is gross and should be kept behind doors. Although, celebrities that post on their social media a cute post of their significant other it is not viewed the same way.

It is almost seemed that pda is selective. We choose to accept which kind of pda we would like to view on our social media. I have heard people say how they wish they would like to be adored that way. Then they see their friends or family post something similar and that should not be posted.

Celebrities and "regular" people, when it comes to their lives seemed to be treated differently with their love lives. We love to view what they did that past weekend with their significant other. We want to be in the middle of their relationship and what their couple name is. But if your best friend had a couple's name, more than likely that would be found weird. Or using "lovey dovey" nicknames is considered "gross".

It seems that if I were to post on Instagram a long caption about the love of my boyfriend, that it would be overly "dramatic" or showing a lot of love for him. But this isn't the same for celebrities, people screenshot their captions and hope one day someone will make the same post about them. It is a double barrier between "regular" people and celebrities.

Girls want to have some guy come into their and be treated like the princess. And I believe social media plays a large role in a relationship. Some girls want to be tagged by their significant other on a certain day, so everyone knows they are in a relationship. They want it to be known by everyone that follows that person.

What happened to when a relationship was between the two people, not two people and their social media. Or the fact they want to compare other people or celebrities to their relationship. Every relationship is different and won't be the same as another person. A couple does not need to center their relationship around social media. They want to be compared to as that celebrity couple who post their love on Instagram and other social medias. They are more worried about everyone knowing how much they are loved than maybe their real love for one another.

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.

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.
