Craving Pizza? Don’t reach for your cell phone. Instead, make your own.

Pita Pizza

Last semester, I bought a bag of pita rounds and ran out of things to do with all of the pita. Eventually, I decided to use the pita like premade pizza dough. Then I thought, if I’m already using whole wheat pita instead of pizza dough, I might as well choose some healthier options for the rest of the ingredients. I chose pesto sauce in place of pizza sauce, part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese in place of whole milk shredded mozzarella cheese, and diced tomatoes in place of pepperoni slices. Because I love this dish so much, I just knew I needed to share it with our Her Campus Towson readers.

What you’ll need…
 

Do you constantly shake your head in disappointment while looking through your Facebook Newsfeed wishing these “friends” of yours knew which information to keep to themselves and which to make public? I know I do.

There are certain annoying patterns Facebook users seem to fall into while on the site that becomes irksome to other users. You know what I’m talking about; things like people making out with their significant others in half the pictures they put up on Facebook, people posting an unnecessarily large amount of statuses (several per day), underage drinkers posting pictures of themselves partying way too hard (remember future employers are watching…and possibly some nosy relatives), etc. Because of this, I thought maybe we could all use a reminder of how to maintain a certain etiquette while enjoying our favorite social network.

1. Only Post Statuses That Can Be Considered At Least Somewhat Entertaining

This means no posting itineraries. Not only do your friends not care what you’re doing throughout the day, but Facebook is the stalker social network . Do you really want to inform everyone where you are during the day when people already know clearly way too much about you? I didn’t think so. Also, itinerary posts are boring. No one wants to see, “school. work. home,” when stalking your page. Helpful Hint: if no one is “liking” or commenting on your statuses, there’s a reason.
