Facebook


I love this little facebook paraody/song!

While checking my facebook for the 1000 time today, I started thinking about facebook images. Every college student has one these days, and your profile really can say a lot about you. Everything from your pictures, to your wall posts, to your bumper stickers or status can say something about you. I know that I have looked at people’s profiles and was surprised at what I saw. Not only is it a personal self-image your are displaying on you profile, but I’m sure you’ve heard that employers are starting to look at personal websites like facebook and myspace when they are deciding about hiring a client. How much would that suck if you didn’t get a job or got fired from a job because you just had to have that one bumper sticker that said, “Let’s get pants shitting drunk tonight!” (I’m serious I’ve seen that). The bottom line is, don't have anything on your facebook, or myspace for that matter, that you wouldn't want your parents to see for example. There is no reason to portray a negative self-image on the internet for anyone to look at. Plus, this just feeds fuel to the fire for those gossip websites like juicycampus, and dirtydtown!
