my digital identity

My personal digital self is somewhat non-existant. Yes, I do have a Facebook and a Twitter. I even had a Myspace when it was cool, but even though I belong to these online communities, my virtual frineds didnt know who I was. I never post statuses online. The one time I posted a facebook status, it was lyrics to a Drake song. There is just something I do not like about the world knowing what im doing when im doing it. I don't quite conversate with my friends on Facebook either. If you were to go on my page right now, you would see that about 98% of the the things that I write on my friends' walls is the exact same thing, "happy birthday! :)." On my twitter account I have never told the world what I was thinking.You may wonder why I have these accounts in the first place if I do not use them. Well, to put it simply, I just like to creep on people. I would be embarrassed to say this, but i know that everyone else does it to.

I don't have a job, so I don't pay bills online. I do go to websites and internet shop, but i never actually purchase anything. When i do it's for my birthday with my parents credit card. My virtual identity is a lot more mysterious than my physical self, and that's just the way that I like it. :)

First Week Emotional Response

My hometown, Melbourne, Florida, is a boring place where everyone is the same. Everyone dresses the same. Everyone listens to the same music, and after high school graduation, everyone goes to the same community college. I wanted to do something different, and choosing to attend Florida State University was far from the norm. On the six hour drive up to Tallahassee, my new home, I had one feeling bottled up inside of me; nervousness. I tend to shiver when I get nervous, and that's all I did from Gainesville until I arrived on campus. I was worried that I wouldn't make any friends, that I would get lost, and most of all that i was making a huge mistake. Thoughts kept running through my mind saying, "maybe i should have chosen UCF, it's only an hour away from home." Those thoughts soon stopped, and once I said goodbye to my parents, I knew that I had made the perfect decision. I knew that FSU was certainly the place for me. :)
