I remember the days of running home from school, logging into my AOL account and hearing “You’ve Got Mail!” Those days are long gone, but without a doubt I still experience the same urge to login into my social media accounts. Typing in my credentials on any social media platform grants me access to a personality that is unlike myself. I am able to engage with an audience that unfortunately finds me interesting. I have the ability to create a facade similar to a Kardashian.
Fancy camera angles. Expensive clothes. Exclusive Jewelry. And places you wish you were.
To me, there are three different types of millennials on social media.
We either love or extremely hate these types of folks.
The Overly Opinionated Millennial
These individuals are always on FaceBook. They comment on every post, and instead of saying something brief and to the point, they leave an argumentative essay on why your claim is inaccurate. Typically, these are your old high school friends, after a few annoying post, these people are unfriended.
The News Reporter Millennial
Social media has become the epicenter for breaking news. Instead of watching CNN or FOX News, I am usually on the discover tab of Snapchat or looking at the trending topics of Twitter. Thankfully, I am always updated on what is happening across the country and around the globe.
boy: I'm breaking up with you
me: FAKE NEWS!

The Pulitzer Prize Winning Millennial
Thank you to Intagram, everyone has the ability to snap a picture and share it. We are able to show what we’re eating at our favorite restaurants. Also, we are able to show our followers the unique places around the globe. Who would have thought that you don’t have to major in photography to be a photographer.
Love the humor of this post, but you forgot the fourth kind…people like me who have accounts and rarely use them. My least favorite is definitely the overly opinionated people.
