It’s no secret that social media has become a daily habit for just about everybody. Whether it be Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, there are millions of people flocking to apps to share their lives and opinions. Without a doubt, the internet has become saturated with so many different presences that one could scroll forever without even scratching the surface.
