I understand the skeptics of the hottest new social media phenomenon BeReal. After all, we are constantly bombarded with companies wanting us to just download one more app. Sure, there might not be as many hot new social media platforms coming out every year as there were in the 2010s, but they do keep on coming. At this point in my life, I refuse to engage with the Tumblr app any longer. It was too much in 2013 when the triple combo of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram were at their peak and already too much to deal with, and it's still too much now.
I am, however, susceptible to the new popular hip thing to do, and as such, I am a huge BeReal fan. It helps me to connect with my friends who live in other cities and I love to share my bad selfies with them. BeReal is one of those apps that's really hot and cold. Whenever it goes off when I'm chilling on my computer, it's devastating. When it goes off when I'm doing something fun, it's a triumph. The following BeReals come from the latter category, when the app is at it's best.
