So a friend of mine posted a link to a blog post of sorts on Facebook today... and it just so happened to be a topic I've been wanting to address, and kind of have been addressing little by little on my Twitter. The article (which I will link at the bottom of this post) was written by a twenty seven year old single woman who has reached the point in her life where everyone who reads her "single-life" activities on Facebook looks down their nose at her in one way or another.
I thought this was interesting. We all hit the "party phase" of our lives and this phase can last for different periods of time for different people. Personally, I never went to a university and got to experience getting trashed all the time in my late teens. Granted, I was trashed all the time in my late teens, but not at a college. But quite frankly, I'm in agreement with the writer of the post. I'd much rather read a Facebook status involving some ridiculous drunk hijinks than have to be assaulted by essentially the same photo of your not-old-enough-to-be-interesting-in-pictures-yet infant because you can't just put them all in one album at once and spare us all the agony of forcing your child's alien face down our respective throat.
I guess what I'm getting at here is.. I agree wholeheartedly with what this woman has to say. I just cannot put it quite as eloquently. So, here you are. Her words, which are worlds better than mine.
