In the interest of privacy, not wasting time, and avoiding having an aneurysm over the ridiculous apps that keep popping up on my screen, I've gotten rid of my facebook account.
This has already proven to be a very difficult undertaking.
I was by no means one of those kids who is constantly checking facebook on his Blackberry, though I did enjoy reading through all of the updates and facebook stalking the occasional person in my organic chem class. Now, though, I'm feeling some serious withdrawal. It's like I've been disconnected from all of humanity and my only friends now are those with my cell phone number, and my textbooks. I'm truly shocked at how dependent I had become on it.
At the same time, it's an oddly liberating feeling. Now I don't have to worry about who is tagging me in what picture, who's posting what on my wall, etc. I certainly dig that.

Congrats, though. There really isn't anything wrong with being connected but it is kind of surprising how many people are addicted to it.

Now if only I could get away from TB I might get something productive done in my life.
cheers and good luck with O-chem. P-chem was worse (17 years ago). |

You'd want to be careful all those people you haven't spoken to for 20 years, ex girlfriends, and total strangers with the same surname as you aren't disappointed because they weren't notified.
