Create your own adventure- Scott Street

Prompt 1: Why do people insist on letting people constantly know what is going on with their life?
Prompt 2: Why do people care so much about what is going on with other people's lives?
Prompt 3: How significant really are items such as social media in the long run?
To answer prompt number 3, I believe that social media is hugely insignificant in the long run. Do people honestly thing colleges and employers look at how strong someone's "like game" is? Do you think they look at how high your snapchat score is? Not at all! So why do we feel the need to constantly be paying attention to these seemingly insignificant time traps? (this is kind of bleeding into the other two prompts) I believe that social media such as Instagram helps to seemingly remind someone that they are liked. For example, if a girl gets 200 likes on a post, her self confidence would be greatly boosted because she feels liked. On the other hand, if the like game is "not on fleek", then the girl (or guy, to be equal) will become angry and/or sad and will more than likely delete the post out of embarrassment. My question to those people is: why do you care so much? Your Instagram posts are not going to define what kind of person you are, and on top of that, it will not be of assistance in the real world.
