27 Signs You Work in Social Media

The first thing you do in the morning is to check your social media notifications. Every time you see something nice or fun, you immediately think about uploading it on Instagram. When you get upset with something, Twitter is usually the only place you can take your rant to. Does this sounds like you? Yes, it does, right?
