It’s so true, if someone is not on Facebook, in my mind they don’t exist. People who don’t have a Facebook are instantly branded a total weirdo by society. We have all had that conversation, or overheard that conversation, where someone says something about how they met someone and that person didn’t have a Facebook and now therefore they think that person is weird. The most classic example is the conversation everyone had with their home friends before coming to school.
My summer before college:
Me: “I looked my roommate up on Facebook. Don’t think he has one.”
Friend: “This guy must have something wrong with him.”
Friend 2: “Probably one of those study types.”
Me: “Great, I’m stuck with a loser.”

I had somewhat of the same experience, where I looked up my roommate on Facebook but couldn't find him, so I looked him up on MySpace and found him, but he found me on Facebook, so we used that to talk about what to bring, the upcoming year, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt was also a way to find out what to expect with the person you're living with for 9 months, as opposed to the old fashioned way of finding out the day you move in.
