Twitter bio:  “Shopping. Writing. Watching television. Usually simultaneously.  Eventually one of my tweets will offend you. Consider this a preemptive apology”

@Possessionista is both insightful and witty, providing a lot of entertainment for your Twitter feed.  She is a fashion blogger who tweets where you can find different fashion pieces, whether it was worn by a celeb on the Red Carpet or at the grocery store, or seen on TV worn by actresses during TV shows like “The Carrie Diaries,” “Pretty Little Liars,” “Revenge,” or “New Girl.”  She also live tweets HIGHlarious commentary during TV shows, making the shows more entertaining to watch.  In my opinion, she is best at live tweeting “The Bachelor;” she blatantly says what we’re all thinking but no one wants to say. 

Can we all agree that texting is the best? Whether you are sitting alone in the Caf or trying to avoid making awkward eye contact with a certain someone walking down the hallway, we can always count on texting to keep us occupied. Regardless of if you are chatting up a friend or sending witty and flirty texts to that new (or old) guy, it is very important for everyone to master the Art of Texting. 

“The Stage-5 Clinger”

We all have that one “friend” who clearly doesn’t understand the art of texting.  Sometimes, they are constantly blowing up your SMS inbox either trying to figure out what the plans are for the weekend or just to talk.  Note to that friend:  both of these topics are perfectly acceptable; just stay away from double and triple texting, (or anything greater than that) if you don’t get an immediate response.  Your friend will eventually respond, give them time.  Don’t make assumptions as to why your friend has not responded yet. And if not getting a response is a constant habit, it is not worth it to keep sending that person texts; it is their loss.  Also, you can pick up the phone and call them, there is no harm in that and it is more efficient.

In case you haven’t been following what’s going on in our world, here is a quick recap from this week.

It’s February, and whether you are sulking at the idea that you don’t have a boyfriend this Valentine’s Day, or you simply can’t tolerate this unbearably cold weather; just remember that things could be worse…

1.     All of your Snapchat’s could mysteriously become linked to Facebook and Twitter for everyone to see…

2.     You could be the girl from the “Single Ladies Gone Wrong” YouTube video… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN5YbfFszlI

3.     There could be only yellow starbursts left on Earth.

4.     Zelda’s and the Flying Bison could stop being open for late night hours.

5.     Your iPod could be broken so that it only plays Nickelback songs.

6.     You could accidently post a selfie as your Facebook status thinking you were posting the picture in a private group (this has actually happened to me before…).
