I attended the Social Media Mini-Workshop: Facebook. They talked about making you profile private. Your profile is never really safe. Mr. Zuckerburg has giving premission to federal agencies to see everything on facebook. This means they can see everything you post no matter how private you make it. And it is important to start making your profile sophisticated so you will be able to get a job. What you post now will still be out there in the future when your looking for a job. I found this workshop very interesting. I found out some things that will help me now and in the future.

Subject: FRO DTD homework assignment

Hello Professor Anonymous,

After looking at syllabus on Blackboard I am not sure where I can find the questions for
the assignment due on Wednesday. If you could help me with this problem it
would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I am a people pleaser. I care a lot about what people others
think of me so I act differently with different people because I feel they
expect different things. I don’t think I fit in to any clique. I like all kinds
of music and all sorts of people. I am not one kind of person. I am friendly. Chances
are even if I don’t like you I’m nice to you. I feel bad being mean. I’m also
very shy. It comes across as rude sometimes. I never want it to but I am
painfully shy when you first meet me. I am also a little crazy when it comes to
stress. I worry about everything. I worry about what people are thinking, how I
look, how much homework I have, how I don’t have time for a job, and how I’m
going to get job because I need money. Some of my worries are legitimate but
others are just stupid. I wouldn’t consider myself a pessimist. I think of the worst
out comes, but I hope for the best.

My top 3 concerns coming into Baruch are how
much work I have to do, making friends, and all the money I have to spend. There’s
so much reading to do and so many things to buy. I think my Baruch experience
will be different than my high school experience because I won’t know most of
the people here. My high school was pretty small and I knew so many people. I didn’t
know about two or three people in my graduating class. I liked that. Baruch is
very different for me, but I don’t mind it so much. Change is good. Baruch will
change me by making me more comfortable with myself. I’m so used to having all
my high school friends around me. I feel weird without them around. I will
become used to not seeing them every day. And I will also get used to all the
work and pressure that comes from college. My parents are putting more pressure
on me than ever and college is enough pressure enough. I don’t handle pressure
well. I get very panicky. I hope by the end of freshman year I will be able to
handle my stress better.

Ever since I was little I’ve had a gap. When I was younger
it didn’t bother me so much. I actually kind of liked it. People told me it
would help me whistle, but I still don’t know how you do that. Either they were
liars or I am the one exception to the gap whistlers. I never thought about
braces. My dentist always said I didn’t need them and my parents said I
shouldn’t. They always said my gap gave me “character.”…whatever that means. I
think it just makes me look like a little kid.

So finally
this year I decided I hated my gap so much that I wanted braces. I convinced my
parents that it was a good idea after a little while and within a month I had
my braces.

So far they
are annoying. I knew going into it they were going to hurt but I didn’t think
it would be so bad. When I got them put on the orthodontist basically said
here’s some wax for when they cut your mouth, brush your teeth after you eat,
and you might want to take some pain killers because you’re going to be sore
for the next 3 days or so. I’m like “ok I got this”…it didn’t have this. I was
basically on a liquid diet for the next 5 days because no amount of pain
killers stopped my teeth from hurting.

The rules
of what I’m allowed to eat are my favorite. I think I’ve broken every one so
far. The best is “NO PIZZA” written in all caps with a bunch of exclamation
points after it. My dad is being strict about what I can eat. He kept telling
me you’re not going to be able to eat this and that, but the day after I get my
braces he decides I would be a good time to make steak for dinner. I love steak
so I wasn’t passing that up. I sat there for about an hour and a half cutting
my steak into tiny pieces and chewing very slowly.

But it’s
been about a month now and they’re getting better. I’m getting used to it and
eventually I’ll stop complaining.
