People say that if you do not go to college you will not be successful. That certain situations always lead to race, or if you are not posting pictures or have your companion's name in your bio you are not really together. Do you agree with any of these statements?

College is not for everyone. Guaranteed. I know family members, teachers, professors, councilors, etc. push that upon many young adults. Yes, we all want what is best for ourselves in the end. If you are telling yourself that you will not be successful without school, you are probably right. Have the drive to do what you want. However, I am not saying college is not going to be beneficial. If you want to be at school, you are going to be at school. Many people are afraid to say that if you do not want to be at school, it is going to reflect. You will not be at school. Why waste money to be somewhere you are not even sure is gonna help?

Have you ever had a teacher or professor that you truly just could not connect with? A coach that could not see great potential? Or a cop that enforces the law and comes off rude?

I know you are probably thinking that it depends on where you are from, the vibe your attracting, background, language, money, etc.; I have thought about all that. I think that people forget that those teachers and professors that we thought were so mean to us is the reason most of us are graduating, graduated, or have continued on with our learning. I know presentation is a huge part of society. Just because one person did their job in a discriminating way does not mean it is true or right to label everyone else the same way. I have had wonderful teachers and horrible teachers. There are great coaches and useless coaches. And cops? Well, there are many cops that want to be out there and help; many have put their own lives at risk for people they did not even know. However, there can also be cops who take advantage of certain rights. There are usually always two sides to every story.

So if you are not taking pictures with your companion every other week, does that not make you official? If you do not have the date you guys starting dating, does it not count? These are the questions 2016 worries about. Did your parents have Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Snap-chat growing up? Wow, must not have been that official then, huh? Married, babies, houses and they did not post every little thing they did on social media. Alright let me ask you this again? Does social media make a couple healthier or worse. If you are saying healthier, why? Is there really a point that needs to be proven if both of you know you are "official?" Does it feel better showing everyone that you guys are together? If you are saying worse cause you have / had experiences with fighting about what is put on social media, why are we still consistently doing it then?

We have lost meaning in the simple tasks and life choices we make every day. Society should not tell you what you have to do or be to be successful. When problems occur with others it is usually how that person presented them self. Social media should not make others insecure about their relationships. The point I am trying to make with this article is that there is so much more than meets the eyes and it is important to see that.
