My Digital Self

I have given a decent amount of my information out on social websites and online communities. I started with myspace when I was in seventh grade. I joined to communicate with my friends from school because I had no phone and wanted to talk with everyone outside of school. I posted my interests, likes and dislikes, birthday and so on. Then facebook became popular. It is basically just a more grown-up version of myspace. I gave out the same amount of information plus my address. Other than those two websites I am not a member of any other social networking websites, such as twitter or any dating websites. I never shop or pay bills online, but I do talk with friends on facebook at least twice a day. Facebook goes a long way in creating my digital self, as it is basically the entirety of my digital self. My digital self is slightly less personable than my physical self, given that I am communicating with another computer instead of face to face.

First week emotional responses.

When I first stepped on campus last Friday, I was a little nervous about being here. The feeling that I most felt was sadness because I now have to live in a different city than my girlfriend. She is three hours away and that was tough at first. I had the whole weekend to do whatever I wanted, with no rules. I didn't feel like an FSU student until yesterday when I first attended class; that's when it really sunk in. Walking around campus, seeing all the other college students, some who look like they are way older than me; it really is a college atmosphere around the school.
