Think Before You Tweet

A brief list of reasons why you should check your facts before you post anything

Think Before You Tweet
Twitter

With the ability to share anything with the entire world within seconds, you’d think that people would consider what they are about to say. However, not many people do. It appears as if numerous people don’t think before they tweet, or they have no understanding of the subject they are discussing. This may mean we either need to revamp education or make it more difficult for people to make Twitter accounts. Either way, here are several reasons to think before you tweet!

I'd Rather Kill Myself Than Commit Suicide is a common phrase made on several social media sites including Twitter and Whisper. It shows that "I'd rather kill myself than..." has become a common phrase in our language, and people don't understand the concept of suicide and that by uttering that phrase it shows how unintelligent they are.

Earth is How Old? There is an unbelievable amount of people who think that our current year is how old Earth is. Apparently, they forget about the millions of years of history we have Before Christ and how we started counting to where we are now with tweets ranging from 2014-2016, and unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. There are people who think America is 2014, which baffles me. Did they sleep through history class or is this just intentionally stupidity?

A personal favorite of mine are ones regarding President Obama, or as someone online called him Barraco Barner. But, hey, at least they remembered his last name! This just goes to show how people don't pay attention to current events.

There are plenty more unique ones but these were the most reoccurring ones and that just go to prove how much we need of an education or a filter to restrict certain levels of stupidity from reaching the public eye.

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.
