Much like the unfriendly Harvard campus that Mark Zuckerberg described, I feel Rollins College can go down under that category as well. Between Arts and Sciences, Crummer School of Business, and Hamilton Holt, we are all on different academic schedules, which can tribute to the difficulty of meeting and connecting with more of the Rollins Community. I think that this website is just the thing this campus needs in order to become closer and more personal. Arts and Sciences Student Trevor Cook explains, "Facebook is an amusing yet addictive diversion."
To create your accounts, just go to www.thefacebook.com and register. Put in your name, student status, school email address, and create a password. Now you have entered TheFacebook world! You can create your own online profile, find your friends, or simply spend countless hours searching for that next college hookup.
The Facebook allows any of us from select schools with an .edu email address to search for old high school friends, peers from your classes, along with friends on campus or at other schools. You can flirt or send a friendly hello to other users by "poking" them on the site. You can click on student profiles to add them as a friend or accept friendship requests from others on the website. You can even write obnoxious quotes on your buddy's editing wall provided by this webpage. "I think facebook is great. It is fun to stay in contact with friends from high school who you have lost their phone numbers," explains Arts and Science Student, Trey Marshman.
Thanks to this virtual directory, we are no longer limited to making friends through academic clubs, parties, Greek affairs, and classes. Now, with the touch of a mouse and a click of a website I have helped you discover the answer to all your college social needs. Now it is time for you to face TheFacebook and get started with poking friends, adding new friends, and embarrass your roommate with obnoxious quotes on their edit wall.
