We all know how huge social media is for our generation. It obviously has its perks, but I've noticed some serious downfalls! Relationships nowadays are ending because of a simple "like" or "favorite." It's honestly a shame and it needs to stop. Here are some tips to help anyone in need of how to deal with your relationship while on social media! Feel free to share this with your friends and significant other.

#1 : Stay Lowkey but not Nonexistent!

You do not have to post every single thing your significant other does or doesn't do for you. It's okay if your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't post about you all the time. It's not the end of the world I promise! Your relationship is worth so much more than a post!


#2 : Keep the fighting off of the internet!

I can't tell you how many times I've seen couples argue online. It's embarrassing and it gives everyone on the outside a chance to get into your business, and that is one thing you definitely do not want! It looks childish when you argue online, because you can definitely keep that to yourself and deal with the situation like an adult offline. Trust me, it gets kind of awkward when outsiders know all of your business!


#3 : Don't believe everything that you see online!

You can not compare your boyfriend/girlfriend to a twitter post or as we all know it as "relationship goals." You don't know what that couple had to do to make it to where they are today! You don't know what's really going on behind closed doors! Don't be depressed because your boyfriend hasn't bought you a Pandora ring. Be patient and make sure you're in a committed relationship before you even start to worry about things like that.


#4 Talk in person!

Communication is very important in a relationship. Try to talk in person to avoid confusion and further arguments from occurring!


#5 Be patient!

I know you've heard the saying, "good things come to those who wait." Don't think that you'll be instantly showered with gifts instantly in a relationship. Social media does a great job with giving people false hope. Don't get caught in the trap!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
