Let’s just face it, you cannot do anything on social media without it interfering in your relationship. Whether it be Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat there will always be an argument over something. We should not let social media platforms control our lives and be the topic of an argument all the time. People find it as a new way to not get caught doing something they shouldn’t and it is sickening. It is a great way to reconnect with new friends but in the long run in cause’s problems beyond belief. And the main social media platforms that cause the most problems include:

FACEBOOK:

Facebook has to be the leading cause for relationships to end and arguments. Mainly due to things that people post and who they are friends with on Facebook. Or because of the fact that you can stalk your boyfriends ex and see everything that involved the both of them, even though that shouldn’t matter. You can get messages that from another guy who is speaking to your girlfriend or from another girl who is speaking to your boyfriend; trust me you never want to receive one of those messages.

INSTAGRAM:

If you think you are posting a full body bikini pic on there while in a relationship you must be crazy. The new argument will be that you want other men to see your body and that’s not okay. Or that you are seeking the wrong attention. In the end that is no argument to win. There will be the argument of why your boyfriend follows so many girls and why so many girls like your picture. Well it goes the same for women, men will ask you why so many men follow you and like your selfies.

TWITTER:

This causes the – How come you retweeted a breakup quote or single quote from another page. Sometimes people don’t mean it, they just like the quote so they retweet it. This can end a relationship real bad because the other person will just think you want to be single.

SNAPCHAT:

Well since snapchat got rid of the option to view the top people you snap I am sure that arguments have lessen. But that doesn’t mean people don’t argue over snapchat. You will have the argument over why you are not each other’s best friend and be asked who else you’re snapping that’s more important than your significant other.

But at the end of the day if you trust your significant other than social media shouldn’t matter because most likely all of that stuff was there before you started dating. But if a problem does arise then you should address it, even if it does end the relationship because things could get ugly real quick.

In my opinion just quit with social media. It is not really getting you anywhere, you are just letting everyone know your business.

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.

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.
