facebook

At the end of my senior year of high school, an older friend told me that facebook was the myspace for college students and that I absolutely had to get one.   Soon after I created my facebook, my younger friends began getting one too, which seemed natural since it was such a good networking tool.  Never would I have imagined, however, that messages would start popping up on my News Feed that I had “5 friends in common” with my best friend’s mom. I began getting friend requests from people like the PTA President of my high school, old elementary school teachers, and my parents’ friends.  I even saw the topic broached on ABC News of grandparents joining Facebook.  Then, the moment I knew would come, my mother came up under my “Suggestions” for friends.  I had been dreading this for a long time; what college student wants their mother to be able to follow them on facebook?  Not only that, but I had to teach her how to work “the facebook”: how to post messages, upload pictures, and even “become a fan” of people like Obama or companies like Cardstore.com.  But besides the technical part, it’s better than I could have imagined. My mom is content knowing what’s going on in my life and I’m happy because she doesn’t have to ask as many questions.  I just hope she doesn’t figure out how to follow me on Twitter too!

Become a Fan - Cardstore.com!
