The way I present myself to the world is mostly reflects on my facebook page. There are so many things you can find out about a person from the things they put on their facebook profile. By putting pictures and writing on my friends walls and them relpying, people can see that I have good relationships with my friends. Also, you can see the things I'm interested in and enjoying participating in. Facebook profiles are used in a lot of ways to research people and their behaviors.
When I created my profile, I made sure that I didn't put things on it that would be embarrassing to me or my friends. On facebook there are some things that you can't change on your profile, such as the main layout. I also included my interests and educational information, that way my friends can see what I'm majoring in and the school I attend, if they don't already know. I created my facebook account so I could keep intouch with my friends from home and high school and even some of my family members.
Facebook makes me a member of the college social group, because you can find a lot of new friends that go to the same school and/or are studying the same subject you are. You can meet so many new people from all over the world. I do consider myself a part of this group because that is one of the main reason I enjoy facebook so much, is because of all the new, interesting people you can meet and become friends with. This group has made a difference in my life because I stay intouch with people I don't think I would've stayed intouch with if I didn't have facebook and I have met some people I probably never would've met.
In conclusion, I think my facebook profile can tell people more about me and my life than my dorm room, or my clothes, or my hobbies. If anything big changes in my life and can let people know but just adding it on to my profile, which is a lot easier than calling or emailing everyone. When I apply for a job or when I try to get into upper division of Krannert here at Purdue, I know for a fact that they Dean has someone look at students profile pages to get an idea about them and make sure they won't be a bad addition to the school. Personally I think you can find out what kind of a person someone really is by their facebook page. I think it is the best way to learn about someone and their interest and their life in general.
