The Best Advice From Social Media

Social media is becoming more influential as a “news outlet” but it is also about to become a certified therapist. (Please seek professional help if you need it, though.) Here are seven of the best pieces of advice I’ve seen on social media.

7. “Be so caught up in your own life that you don’t have time to judge others for theirs.”

(An excerpt from a Twitter.)

6. This one was just cute.

(Found on Google)

5. YOU GOT THIS.

Remember how in "Elf," belief powered a whole sled and made children everywhere happy? That could be you if you believed in yourself. Except instead of making billions of humans happy through Santa, you can start with yourself--because you aren't Santa Claus. Just an FYI. You don't have to do his job.

(Facebook)

4. Keep on movin’. You, my friend, are awesome.

(Google)

3. This next piece of advice resonates with many people, but it is hard to grasp. I struggle with it every day.

A workplace is different from other environments, because you should at least somewhat care about what people think of your work and how capable you are of doing it. But, in life, it can be so hard to not care about what people think, even when you have the rest of the world to contend with. This applies to all types of relationships; romantic, friendly, familial, etc. Just realize that your time is valuable and your worth is not changed by what other people think of you.

(Twitter)

2. It’s okay to not play it cool all the time. Love what you like, even if others don’t.

(Twitter)

1. Love is such a complicated thing, but this kid nails it.

(Twitter)

One last thing!

I would like to share some more with you! I also love to give advice just like old Dr. Social Media. If you ever need some encouraging life advice, a question answered from an outsider perspective, or want to know how to cook frozen dumplings, feel free to ask me through the following link! It’s completely anonymous, so ask anything! I’m going to answer your questions in a future article. http://goo.gl/forms/x0lNKCMb4H

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.

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.
