Leaving for college can be bittersweet. Your excited to open a new chapter in your life but you dread the hard part, leaving family and friends behind. Don’t sweat it, with the way technology has evolved over the decades you can talk for hours on webcam or through social networking. Websites such as Facebook and Twitter are great ways to see what’s going on back home even if your miles away. Facebook allows you to interact with friends and family through postings and direct messaging. You can post inspirational sayings on your friends wall or a simple, “I miss you.” If you are searching for friends on facebook, you type their name in the search engine at the top of the page and any related names will show up. You can also look for friends by typing in the high-school or college you both attended or attending. Make sure to adjust your privacy settings so somethings only you or friends can see. Some of the default settings are set to friends of friends which means people who aren’t on your friends-list can have access to your information. Always take precautions when utilizing social networks. People are not always who they say they are.The information party rocks on: Social network’s boomerang!
