Social media creates false perceptions

We live in a time where our focus is dominated by social media. We constantly check Twitter, Instagram, Yik Yak, Snapchat and more to stay up to date on the latest happenings. Walking around campus, I frequently see students walking with their heads locked on their phones, not noticing where they are going.

There are so many apps that we use daily in order to keep up with our friends and families. Instead of reading a book or talking in person with our friends, we just sit on our phone scrolling through pictures and posts.

We get this constant view of everyone else’s lives and how much fun they are having.
