The 7 Most Annoying Facebook Status Updates
venturebeat.com

Social Media is great, don’t get me wrong but we all have those friends who go a little overboard with their postings. There’s always that friend who invites you to play Farmville or shares questionable news articles that aren’t from legitimate sources. Here are 7 Facebook status updates that we all are tired of seeing:

1. The “Let’s see who reads my status” post.

If I’m friends with you on Facebook, there’s a very high chance that I’m going to see your recent status update. However, I won’t comment back the first place we met, what your favorite color is, or what my favorite memory of us is. No, I will not update my status to see “who reads it”, I will scroll past your status and ignore your recent post.

2. When people post melodramatic and obscure stuff.

Frowny face. Today sucks. Life sucks. Never ever again. Screw it all. So over it...I don’t want to see how shitty your life is. That’s not what Facebook is for. “So over it.” What are you over? Talk to someone who can help you and don’t be so vague because others won’t understand what you’re saying.

3. “This is a simple test. If you love God and you are not afraid to show it, repost.”

Look, I get it. I’m a practicing Episcopalian and realize that it’s important to speak with Our Father. Seeing a square box with this phrase in it is not exactly what I call a spiritual awakening.

4. Huge group messages.

I want to leave this conversation because I don’t want a million notifications.

5. When you’re tagged in a photo that you’re not actually in.

“'If you can dream it you can achieve it'? Oh, I should tag all my friends in that!"

I don’t need to be tagged in a quote that says something like, "Life is the beauty that the arrow swings in the wind." If I’m not in the picture, I don’t want to be tagged in the picture.

6. “Like and Share if…”; “If you don’t share this…”; “If you have a heart you will…”

I know how to use Facebook. If I agree with something that you post, I’ll probably like it (or share it if it’s something relatable to me). If I don’t share something, I can guarantee you that nothing will happen to me — I already have bad luck. I won’t find $20 on the ground and I won’t fine the love of my life just because I repost something. I don’t think I have to expand on my last bullet point. If I didn’t have a heart, I wouldn’t be here writing this article.

7. “I’m deleting my Facebook.”

You’re literally just making this status so that people will tell you that they’ll miss you. I guarantee you, you’ll be back on the grid in no time.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
