Why I Deleted My TimeHop Account

So many of us have downloaded the app TimeHop, an app used to look back on some of our memories that have graced the presence of various forms of social media over the years. Some of the memories are funny, some are sad and some just make us shake our heads. I had the app for a while before getting rid of it and then downloading it again because I missed it. While, I like looking back on my life and seeing how far I have come, there is just some things that I would rather not be reminded of. Pictures of people who I no longer talk to, wall posts from old friends and old tweets from darker times of my life. You could say well, you could have just not allowed it to access those tweets but I had forgotten about all of that so here I am feeling the exact way that I did then all of these years later. This app while being great in some aspects is just too painful sometimes. I am reminded of the things that I have worked so hard to forget and leave behind. The friendships that have severed for one reason or another, the things in my life that didn’t go as planned and the pictures that I would rather not have to look at anymore. I actually enjoy my life now and would rather not be reminded of the person that I used to be. I would rather look back at the good memories of my life and spend more time living in the moment rather then dwelling on the past. Life is way too short to dwell on what could have been. It is better to have lived a life full of good memories and good times. As I am writing this, I just deleted my TimeHop account and I have to say it felt pretty good. I realized that I don’t really need or want it anymore. It is a waste of time and space on my phone. I hate the way that it made me feel about myself. I would open it with curiosity about what memories would come up that day only to be left with sadness and regret of opening the app in the first place. I don’t care about the memories, the streak, abe the dino, I care about my wellbeing. I care about my mental health. I do not care about Time Hop. Good Riddance to this terrible app. I will not miss it!

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
