14 Pieces Of Social Media Wisdom You Should Have by Neldrizzy(m): 9:29pm On Jul 07, 2014
1. Checking Facebook and Twitter right up to
the minute you go to sleep isn’t really great
for your sleep.
It’s been linked to sleep issues and subsequent
bad grades in teenagers who have FOMO — and
let’s face it, your job is pretty much like high
school with nice dress pants. You don’t need to
sabotage your job just to see on late-night
Facebook that Mark Davis from high school
added Sum-41 to his favorite bands and then
deleted it just as quickly.
2. You can save yourself giant emotional
shitstorms by unfriending your exes.
Whether or not you think it’s melodramatic, or
that he’ll notice and it’ll look like you care too
much. Because you never know what can pop up
on his feed that will horrify or sadden you.
3. Try not to be jealous of some girl’s
Instagram life.
And remember that everyone’s social media
page is the best, smartest, prettiest, most curated
version of themselves.
4. You have to comment “Aww” on photos of
babies even if they’re hideous.
Or just say nothing.
5. Don’t sweat
Facebook relationship statuses.
You might self-consciously set your profile as
“In a Relationship” with your best female friend
to make a joke about how single you are, but it’s
really, really not as big a deal as you think it is.
6. You pretty much kind of don’t need a
Facebook.
Not for professional reasons, anyway, unless
your profession is seeing the most popular kids
at your high school get fat.
7. Getting into the really deep cuts of Google-
stalking someone before you go out with them
is not only unhelpful but will make you feel
creepy once you’re on the date.
Just knowing that you made it all the way back
to his acoustic cover of “Umbrella” on YouTube
circa 2007.
8. Don’t write passive-aggressive, indirect
tweets or Facebook status updates about
friends/boyfriends/roommates who annoy
you.
They (and the whole world) will see them, and it
will make your drama worse, not better.
9. Don’t post n**e photos or pictures where
you’re obviously binge drinking.
What’s the point? Employers and colleges are
the only ones interested in that crazy party. Just
email/text the hilarious pics to your friends.
10. If you really want someone to come to an
event, send an email — less than half of all
humans check Facebook invites.
I mean, that’s not a proven statistic, but almost
nobody I know still looks at their Facebook
events calendar regularly. Text or email instead.
11. A double filter can (almost) fix a photo of
your bad side.
A trick from social media whiz and
Cosmopolitan.com #Queen Elisa Benson: Filter
once, save the picture, and filter again.
12. Most of your food photos probably don’t
look as good as they taste.
We can’t all be top-notch food bloggers, even if
it seems like we can be. Just look at Martha
Stewart.
13. It doesn’t really matter who friends/
follows whom first.
This isn’t high school. Stop being so neurotic
about coming off uncool that you miss an
opportunity to have a new IRL friend! She’s
probably stalling because she’s thinking the
same thing.
14. If you accidentally like something on your
ex-boyfriend’s Facebook page during
drunken, late-night stalking, it’s fine!
This will not affect your life in any real way.
Just pretend it never happened.
