digital selves

Today, the internet is one of the main ways of being able to communicate, find information, and do many tasks. As a fellow online network user, i have a facebook as well as a twitter. Having a smart phone, i constantly go on and check these sites for new posts and information because all i have to do is click the app with my finger. I would say that my digital self is pretty much the same as my physical self, i always tell it like it is, on or off the internet. You don't realize how much you are connected to the internet world until you go one day without being able to check your profiles and have withdrawals...haha. Also i love to go online shopping because you are able to buy things in the comfort of your own home without having to get out of bed. Also, you don't have to worry about long lines in the fitting rooms or vicious people with on manners bumping into you. the internet is a big part of my life.

First Week Emotions at FSU!

When i first got to FSU I felt an immediate rush of freedom. I knew for the first time I would be on my own, not just for a weekend, but for six whole weeks. I was so excited and just wanted to get out there and meet a bunch of new people. when it was time for my parents to finally say goodbye after all the packing was done, reality set in. How am I going to be able to function on my own when my parents naturally did so much for me with out question. Then the tears began to flow and a sense of vulnerability ran through my entire body. I was still here, and they were seven hours away. When they left, me and my roommate went and explored the campus and were very pleased with the atmosphere. Everyone smiled and talked to you, and even waited to hold the door for you. that would never happen in my high school. Then I went out that night and had so much fun and met so many people just like me, and i realized you have to grow up at some point in time. my time was now, and I was ready.
