So it’s 10:3o, Sunday night. You’re staring at your dimly-lit screen (to save battery of course) and mindlessly scrolling through your newsfeed while procrastinating on that math homework that is in your car that would require you to get on the struggle-bus to go get. Oh and it’s also due tomorrow morning

While contemplating what to do, you see the usual tweets.

“What is school? #procrastinationnation”

“It’s going to be a running-shorts and t-shirt kinda week. #lazy”

Along with the janky twitter accounts, like “@HighSchoolProblems” “@Awkward Penguin”” and “@CommonWhiteGirl”

You read, you favorite, you look at meaningless Vine videos. You may have some clever or not so clever tweet that you send out.

And that’s your 20 minute to 2 hour twitter-time.

But for some people, Twitter is an outlet. An outlet for complaints and the occasional “#subtweet.” For others, it’s a way to express themselves, or share their thoughts in a harmless way. Some even make a game out of it.

A few weeks ago, some students began playing the “numbers game” a game in which you directly messaged the person a number, and the person orchestrating the game would tweet your number and their feelings about you in 160 characters or less.

Following the game, there was an outpouring of people complaining about how stupid or annoying the game was. But why? Why do so many people waste their time complaining about things they see on Twitter?

I don’t know about you, but if I find something annoying, I just keep scrolling. If the account continues to be annoying, I just click this little button called “unfollow.”

Perhaps I am making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. I just can’t understand why people tweet about how annoying tweets are on Twitter. In all honesty, those tweets are more annoying, and make you look like your entire life on social media is at jeopardy. It’s really rather pathetic.

You have the ability to unfollow someone. Rather than waste your 160 characters whining about how dumb you think something is, get over the struggle, keep scrolling, and move on with your life.
