10 Things Everyone Is Sick Of Seeing On Social Media
Twitter

Don't get me wrong. This isn't ignorance, or lack of knowledge, or refusal to consider all aspects of the important things going on in the world. It's just simply a list of some things that never go a day without appearing on twitter, Instagram, every news station, magazine, and media one could access. Especially considering that the first few topics, like most, are extremely controversial and there is actually no right or wrong belief. Some are just harsh aspects that people don't want to be forced to see on their timeline. Most are twitter-related aggravations, relating to people that are just as unnecessarily bitter as myself and love to complain in list form with a passion.

1. Everyone's opinion with Trumps speeches, family, candidacy, life, looks, beliefs. I am NEVER one to discuss politics. Ever. And this is not saying that the candidates for our future president shouldn't be on every news outlet and media accessible, just that it is everywhere. Moments ago when I logged on, the first 12 articles on my news feed were blasted with Trump pictures and articles. And every other tweet is Trump. *sighs*

2. Everyone's opinion on Hilary's speeches, family, candidacy, life, looks, beliefs.
We get it people. The first 1,235 twitter tweets with beef over candidates were entertaining, and only the first 16,785 Clinton/Trump memes were actually giggled at.

3. GIRLS: THE OUTFIT/COOL STUFF RETWEETS. We all know what i'm talking about. The comfy shorts, the phone case that sticks to stuff when no one really needs their phone to stick to stuff, the awesome burgundy matching P!NK set. But it's all a lie. Most of it is promoted from some bologna china online store, and the picture featured is the only decent one made.*Haters will say it's a fake, cause honey it actually is* Or some random person tweeted it and it spread to anonymous girl accounts and you never actually hear of a store. Or P!NK is forever sold out of the burgundy bra, sweats, underwear and sweatshirt combo BUT you see that sixth grader in the mall with an iphone 6 plus wearing it and just shrivel up and die.


(Just a little girl code FYI, I too thought I could transform to KJenner with these shades, but I can't start my transformation until I actually receive the glasses. Which, I got a confirmation email for my order, over a month ago, and still haven't got. I guess some one is graciously WALKING them to me from China, where I failed to assume they were actually coming from. I fell in the twitter girl trap.)

4. Police brutality videos. Enough was enough when I saw a man's actual blood spray on a car, and enough was MORE than enough when I saw a dog seize on Twitter from being sprayed with police bullets. AGAIN. These are things that need should be talked about, yes, but it is a lot for a human lover/dog lover to see when they're expecting puppy vids and friends comical response to their horrible day on their timeline at 2:30 am.

5. Police interacting with the neighborhood kid stories. Jk, these are actually always awesome. But they don't necessarily need to show up every where. Police do these things every day, and shouldn't need to be blasted on social media to convince people that there are decent people out there with a badge.

6. Dogs suffering from abuse and rescued by shelters. Again, these vids are actually always awesome cause the dogs make such a kick-ass come back. But I can't cry two hours worth of makeup off my face in the parking lot of work because I got here too early and decided to scroll through Facebook vids to kill time. I was expecting some vid on how to make some delicious thing with cheese and bacon on the tastey page, not a puppy with one leg left to die in a ditch that actually ended up finding a home, after 3 minutes 20 seconds of pure torture.

7. The new trend of Arthur memes. I really need to stop lying to myself. They're actually all funny. II mean, you did open this article by seeing the headline with an Arthur meme. But this is also like, day three of me seeing them. Day four brings new moods. It's like the 2016 version of the SO over-used Katy Perry dancing shark meme.


8. ALL the blasting/complaints/problems/copying accusations/etc. over Kylie Cosmetics. This is only a complaint because she's only 20 days older than me and I can't sell my car for a fifty dollars but she sells out for millions in under a minute. Plus the ultimate fear of getting one of the problematic products, and bitter I can't/don't want to afford it in the first place.

9. Girl-beach pictures. During Spring break its an over whelming week of knee-down in the sand poses, sorority girl hand signal poses, and lay-down-seemingly-casual-tanning-who-did-you-make-take-this-of-you pictures, but during summer it seems never ending. But again, mostly bitter cause I mean girl's summer bodies.

10. REPOSTS REPOSTS REPOSTS. Reading a timeline and seeing a genuinely well thought-out, relate-able, hilarious tweet is such a mood changer. And in the back of your head you're always like, wow, this person is really funny, let me check out their page. And then over the next month you see it on every. anonymous. comedy. twitter account. ever. And of course you get second hand aggravation for the OG twitter comedian without even getting credit. (P.S. If you've seen retweets from her page you have no other choice but to follow it unless you don't enjoy HILARIOUS relate-able college tweets on your TL)

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
