Entity explains how to use Snapchat

It’s 2017 and Snapchat has become a mainstay of communication. It’s safe to say amateur hour is officially over.

You can’t just Snapchat truly memorable moments that people would actually appreciate seeing — it’s time to dish out every other documentable moment, too.

Because you, my friend, are a millennial — which means your life is inherently exciting.

So without further ado, here are five tips on how to use Snapchat like the professional photographer you are.

1 Be Irreverent.

Somber events like funerals totally crush your vibe. But the good news is, you look great in black. Make certain that all of your followers see how sad you are, and that you took four hours on that perfect funeral cat-eye.

You can also show the grievers how to use Snapchat, because you use it, and you feel great! Because, after all, you care.

2 Pay for expensive game tickets and don’t watch the game.

Let’s be real — if you paid $2,000 dollars for a court-side seat and did not Snap about it, those once-in-a-lifetime memories hold no sentimental value whatsoever.

Make sure most of the Snaps have you in them, but if you want, you can film yourself watching the players. It will give your viewers the interactive experience they deserve.

3 Advertise any moment you are drinking alcohol, because this is a very unique experience.

Consuming alcohol is one of the most rare, exclusive opportunities a human being gets to experience. And if you get the chance to do so, you better post it any and everywhere possible.

Also, make sure to add emojis matching the alcoholic beverages you are consuming. People will have no idea what you’re drinking without the visual aid of a cartoon icon of wine.

4 Snapchat while driving heavy machinery, because lives are expendable.

What’s the point of owning a car if you can’t show off when you’re breaking the law? Now that Snapping and driving is super illegal, Snapping yourself breaking the speed limit gives you double cool points.

While you’re at it, add on one of those dog faces because those always serve a purpose. And don’t worry about the roadkill behind you, it was… probably there before…

5 Make sure your stories are at least 500 seconds long.

Because literally everyone is on the edge of their seat to see what you’re watching on Netflix. Include suggestive photos of your knees because people have never seen knees before, and you need to educate them. Plus, if you record an entire marathon of “Friends,” those without Netflix accounts can benefit off of your excellent cinematography skills (you can reach optimal video quality by applying five Snapchat effects at once, or six if you’re feeling artistic).

After all, the quality of an iPhone filming a television screen is so impeccable, it would render Christopher Nolan to tears.

So there you have it — now you know how to use Snapchat in a way that benefits you and your viewers. Snap wisely, friends. And remember this: the less important it is, the more Snappable it becomes. #mindblown
