Social media and I don’t get along very well. Years ago, when I was starting college, I was genuinely addicted to Facebook, spending hours a day on the site. Later on, I made other accounts (Twitter, Instagram), but I ultimately chose to deactivate most of my social media presence because it always seemed to do me more harm than good. Recently, for some reason or another, I reactivated my Instagram account, and then ended up stuck on the site for a week before it allowed me to close my profile again. The experience led me to compile the following (embarrassingly long) list of pros and cons of social media use.
