Why I Love Facebook #3

Yes same person once again. And just to be clear, you read from the bottom up. The packing happened first, but clearly not long before the wedding. :) Is Facebook the next Vegas? It’s certainly cheaper. Someone get on that virtual chapel app. (Don’t forget Elvis.)

Why I Love Facebook #2

Coincidence? I think not.

Just like the last image, these profile/status change come into my news feed back-to-back and from the same person. Not the same person as last time, but the same person being excited about the future and now in a relationship.

Why I Love Facebook #1

This will undoubtedly be a series - probably warrants a new blog since I’m assumed and surprised daily, but I won’t get ahead of myself.

"College!" Observations

1. Facebook vs. Evite? Evite meet Friendster. Friendster, Evite. After receiving an invite to my sis’ graduation bbq through facebook, I realized the end may be near for friend evite.
2. Virginia Tech and Unity. I was surprised not to hear anything about this in the speeches or a moment of silence. How quickly we forget? Or a testament to the strength of the campus and us?
3. Parents don’t want to be the old parents. Seriously, they are obsessed with when the other students’ were conceived (parents’ ages) and if they have other older children.
4. Drinking game innovation. Whether you call it beer pong or beirut in its original form, the game has changed. Not with catching rules or rebutals, but speed. Civil War is essentially speed beirut, as teams compete to shoot and hit all their opponents cups as soon as they balls come to their side.
5. Stop calling us the Entitlement generation. And if you continue, at least give us props for giving back. Peep this do goodery stat from BC - 650 of less than 3000 grads forewent beach spring breaks for community service!

Half-baked thoughts, but wanted to share.
