David DeWeil, @daviddeweil
If you are a student at USC, it’s almost impossible not to have seen at least one of David DeWeil’s tweets on your timeline. DeWeil works at USC and most of his tweets encapsulate what it is to be a student here — his tweet during the Final Four, “Googling ‘where is Gongaza,’” was basically all of us. If you like dad humor and funny tweets about USC campus life, definitely follow DeWeil.
CJ Lake, @cjlake
CJ Lake is a social media strategist for USC, and while she needs to keep the tweets from the @UofSC account professional, her own feed is a different story. Follow Lake if you want to get a behind-the-scenes look into USC’s social media and a few hilarious tweets that didn’t quite make the cut for the university — like her tweets at the Twitter trolls she can’t respond to officially.
Chrissy Teigen, @chrissyteigen
If you don’t already follow Chrissy Teigen on Twitter, you need to. Not only is she hilarious, but she also claps back at haters like no other — she even made one of their tweets her header. She not only makes fun of herself in a relatable way, but she also replies to people about her life, issues and opinions. If you want to follow someone that can use 140 characters to make a joke or get real, Teigen is the one for you.
Faces in Things, @facespics
If you like a little cheery message with your social media intake, then definitely follow Faces in Things. This account tweets pictures of everyday things that have what appear to be faces on them. No matter the expression or whether it’s seen on a chair or a pair of pants, Faces in Things adds greatly appreciated happiness and simple humor to your feed — perfect during finals season for a de-stressed Twitter feed.
Stephen Colbert, @stephenathome
The host of The Late Show’s personal twitter not only encompasses his on-show humor but also takes a comedic twist on today’s current events. If you like talk show hosts, and specifically if you like Colbert, then follow him on Twitter for reactions on anything from Crayola crayons to policing President Trump on his grammar.
NYT Minus Context, @nytminuscontext
You can never really imagine how many weird sentences can be found in a newspaper until you take them out of context and make a Twitter account dedicated to them. This Twitter account pulls weird, funny phrases from issues of The New York Times and tweets them on the daily — and if you really want to know what articles they are from you can follow @nytpluscontext for the context. If you want your feed to have humorous, sometimes deprecating tweets on it that you can apply to your own life, this is the account for you.
Uber Facts, @uberfacts
This account tweets the facts you never knew you needed to know — in fact, their bio states that they are “the most unimportant things you’ll never need to know.” But, even though you’ll never need to know them, they are a fun tidbit of information added to your feed, and could someday come in handy during a game of trivia. I recommend following Uber Facts if you are the type of person who likes fun facts and knowing useless information.
