Why sometimes not going on facebook is a good thing.

I'm sure everyone's heard of the social networking site called [Facebook]. It was started by some dude who got extremely rich because the site exploded with people and became really popular. I joined facebook a bit after the crowd because initially I was thinking that I'm not going to follow the herd. But sooner than later, I succumbed to peer pressure and created an account. And here I am 3 years later, debating on whether I should delete or deactivate my account. 
I came to this decision because I realized how mentally retarded facebook can be. First things first, people on facebook post their pictures for everyone to see. And what's even more creepy, is that EVERYONE goes through everyone elses pictures. Whether they comment, like or dislike your pictures, they are still being the creepy stalker that they are and looking through them. I have to say that is just weird. I'm proud to say that I don't go through other people's pictures. I've passed through that phase. Actually, I barely go on facebook. I feel that it's just a more intense way to spy on people. Because all of us know that in reality, we don't actually have 500 friends, but on facebook, apparently we do.  The concept of the mini-feed is the nosiest mo-fo I've seen in a while. It is constantly updating your account to show recent status', wall posts, pictures, videos of other people. People who you don't want to be updated on are always appearing there. People who put obsene status' seem to always be on my mini-feed. Seriously people? Seriously?!
After examining most of the features facebook has to offer, I think the only benefit that I find facebook offers is that it allows you to keep in touch with people who you don't see on a regular basis. It allows you to communicate with your friends who live far from you or your friends from elementary school. Some people find the games on facebook appealing, and as much as I like tower blocks and bejeweled, there are OTHER gaming sites to be explored! This in no way is a hate message to all you facebook lovers. It's merely my opinion about the site. So please, try not to write "I hate Fatchikk" on your facebook status.

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
