I'm not trying to be overly clever with the title; not that I could. You see, the fact of the matter is that facebook is a major part of the lives of countless college students. Countless? Well, maybe not. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg has and often rejoices as he counts the numbers but that is beyond my point. Facebook was created around the college student demographic. It started off on a college campus and from there it grew to what it is today. Walk into just about any dorm, or dare I say classroom, today and you're sure to find someone either updating their status or checking words with friends.
Is it surprising that we, college students have taken so much pleasure in a service that puts an entire network at our hands? That encourages it? That makes being more social as easy as a click here or there? And what about friendships? Facebook reminds me of everyone's birthday, and all i have to do is like their posts to still be considered a friend, right? If we don't have to worry about socializing, we can focus on more important things... Bookfacing. I'm not talking about hitting the books (with our face) like any studious student should be, though.... I'm talking about memes.
