When our generation signed up for Facebook many moons ago, it was hard to conceive of a social life past our K-12 upbringings. Surely every kid who came to our bar and bat mitzvahs would still be our dawgs, right? Those dudes you took selfies with in the Apple Store for your MySpace profile picture? Best friends for life. That girl you met at the food court that one time after you and your boys stocked up on Panda Express? If only you had gone to the same school and seen more of each other, there really could have been something special there!
Coming to college comes with a whole new pool of nerves.

When Mary Katherine Fechtel stood in front of the crowd at the Miss America pageant, there was only one way to introduce herself.
A paradox to consider: the Internet, one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, is the medium of travel for the worst ideas of the 21st century. Nearly two weeks ago, on Sept. 3, YouTube personality Nicole Arbour published a video entitled "Dear Fat People." She maintains the purpose of the video is to encourage people to engage in better, healthier habits. But the question is, how exactly did she espouse her ideas?

I walked her through the basics, but I felt bad when I left her unprepared for the things she might stumble upon when browsing the site for scrapbooking ideas.
Earlier this year, Forbes published an article titled "Facebook Was The One Network People Used Less In 2014." In the article, author Parmy Olson noted a worldwide decline in Facebook usage and observed that "Facebook has become more of a passive hub for underlying social connections than a place to actively share our thoughts…(people) often only check in for short periods anyway, leaving little time to do more than browse and maybe ‘like’ a photo or two."
