Oh Instagram

Oh Instagram, how we love and hate you all at the same time. We tend to love you when Kim Kardashian West post her selfies while turning her backside to the camera, reminding us that she can afford an amazing plastic surgeon. We tend to love you when we see Snoop floating in the clouds. It reminds us of why we continue to drive to Colorado every time we get a break from school. However, we almost want to delete our account when DJ Khaled talks reminds us to, "Put some RESPEK on it". I don't understand any of this! Why is flaunting your body on social media conditionally acceptable? How is Snoop Dogg allowed to the worlds strongest weed before our very eyes and not share or be arrested? How is DJ Khaled still relevant in 2016 while annoying screaming "We da best" over every song that he produces? I don't find any of this entertaining and i'm not quite sure why others do, which is why i invest my time and effort in other places and things.

I'm honestly not the modern definition of "cool" anymore and i'm starting to see this. I blame it on college simply because in high school I was able to follow the lives of celebrities, view the latest twitter drama, and know all of the latest dance moves, while maintaining a decent GPA. Now I find this not only difficult but i don't have the same desires. As a college student I've realized that my time is precious and i'm not going to waste it on non-sense. If i'm on social media in the middle of the day i'm probably looking up current events for class or studying on Quizlet.com. While on campus I feel as if i'm surrounded by intelligent people who want to have intelligent conversations. Even when we are relaxing our subject matter isn't as pointless as Kim K's latest booty pic or Snoop's super weed. We talk about issues going on in the world, our futures, and actual life; things of importance. That just may be the thing now that I think of it. I'm at a point in life where i find myself putting away childish things which is why I only use to see content and not broadcast as much.

I'm sure to all three of the celebrities that i mentioned earlier they are doing their jobs, hobbies, etc but to me it all looks like non-sense. You shouldn't have to advertise that you're better than everyone else by smoking weed. It's a normal thing that millions of Americans do. So what if you have an outrageous ass? You don't have to continuously remind us. That thing is so big it'll advertise itself just fine. DJ Khaled isn't "da best" , no disRESPEK. Just because you say it on every album doesn't make it true. At the end of the day i don't really know the intended goal of the celebrities but i do know that because I'm not amused and entertained by their post I'm pretty lame.
