If your realization is that you really don’t know all that much about journalism, don’t worry — you’re not the only one. Mob mentality spreads like fire on the internet, and it’s all too easy to connect the negativity and offensiveness of what’s happening in our world to the source that reports it. But we ask you, please, don’t shoot the messenger.

Amid a social media frenzy, Matt Rowbotham and his co-founders have created a social media platform that’s not your typical scroll-and-like format. Naborly is designed to improve users’ mental well-being, and it’s launching exclusively at Baylor.
X will never be perfect. Twitter never was. But for someone who is so confident in his abilities as a leader, Elon Musk has really underwhelmed in this role.
Here’s a tough pill to swallow: Whichever idol you adore could be a completely different person in real life than they choose to project to the world. So, why do so many fans of celebrities and influencers describe, defend and bond over these stars as if they’ve spoken face to face?
Social media giant Snapchat released an ad for the 2024 Super Bowl in which it called for “less social media” and “more Snapchat.” Let’s face it: It’s just one of the app’s many tricks meant to keep turning your mindless scrolling into billions of dollars.

In our day and age, life revolves around social media. With social media detoxes becoming a fad, it raises the question of whether or not they are effective or just for show.
It’s easy to joke about trends, but the visual aspects of them do influence the way we think about ourselves, even if we know what we are seeing isn’t real. The bottom line is, you need to remember that your appearance doesn’t determine your health, nor does what you see online.
So, my friends, I encourage you to post that blurry picture of your friends laughing, or even the one where no one is looking at the camera because they’re having a great time with each other. It’ll be the best thing to look back on.

Maybe you’ve witnessed your roommate call their sister for the third time in one day. Perhaps you overheard a classmate talking about the care package they just received from their mom. It’s hard not to compare those kinds of interactions to our own family dynamics. Be mindful that families function differently — and that’s OK.

Comment trolling isn’t just present on the Lariat’s Instagram feed; it’s everywhere, even in Kim Kardashian’s comment section. No person is exempt from people’s opinions, especially on the internet. It’s unsettlingly easy to make a comment on someone’s post and forget until someone starts fighting back.
