social media discussion

I didn't mind high school, but overall I was happy to leave and go off to college, happily leaving behind that life. I was eager to start over. For me, Facebook didn't prohibit me from enjoying myself at college, and it certainly didn't make it harder for me. I think that for those people who formed a majority of their friendships through online chats, and communicated primarily through status updates, it was a challenge. No one in college knows you, no one can comment on your things, and those who do just remind you of the past, or the fact that they aren't around for you to talk about these things during lunch time or study hall. 
Personally, in high school I didn't care too much for Facebook, but went I got to college it became more important to me because it was the only way I could keep in touch with people I had just met. Today, if someone looked on my Facebook page they'd either think I had no friends, or that I forgot I even had a Facebook. My last status was about my dads birthday back in September, which is also the same time I changed my profile picture. Rarely do I post anything on Facebook. I use it primarily to see what other people are doing, and to connect with the groups that I'm in, or create events. Also to remember birthdays since I have a horrible memory. I think that if someone viewed my Facebook it would be hard to tell anything about my personality, but that's kind of the way I like it. I'd rather have a Facebook and be private, then not have a Facebook and be considered weird, or not know what's going on in the world, or with my friends.
