4 Of The Best (And Useful) Forms Of Social Media

1. Facebook

Facebook is the place to get the latest trending news, see what your friends are up to, or show everyone your latest vacation in a photo album. Facebook is great because you can message others in a user-friendly environment and a beautiful interface. Posting a status has never been easier, and uploading a photo is even easier. As far as watching videos, Facebook makes it incredibly easy to watch related videos and find what you really enjoy. Facebook is a combination of Twitter, Youtube, and a personal experience all in one! Although you can be bombarded by content sometimes, there is always the simplest solution—take a break.

2. Instagram

Instagram is the greatest place to see snapshots from your friends' lives and upload your own. I use Instagram as an outlet to upload pictures every once in a while from important moments in my life. You can find everything from makeup tutorial videos to how-to food inspirations and pictures of beautiful prospective vacation spots. Whatever you choose to use Instagram for, I guarantee that you will find something that you like on the entire database of photos.

3. Pinterest

Pinterest is the epitome corkboard of inspiration for craft projects, amazing recipes, or anything else that you can think of. The delightful posts are user-uploaded, which contributes a wonderful sense of the Pinterest community. I have done countless projects from the website and I can say first hand that it has been extremely helpful. I have also used Pinterest as a weight loss aid because it has thousands of creative recipes, motivational quotes, and workout circuits that can be done at home or at the gym. Whatever you decide to do with a Pinterest account, I'm sure you will create something amazing.

4. Snapchat

Snapchat is a way of seeing hundreds of small moments from your friends' days that disappear after 24 hours. It is great to be able to see what they are up to and use it to show what you are up to as well. For example, I always post pictures of my food, because I love cooking and I take pride in the presentation as well. People seem to always come up to me and give me compliments on the things I cooked last night or to tell me that they would love to try a dish of mine sometime. Snapchat is the best for quick and momentous pictures of everyone's life!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
