Before I get into why I don't have Facebook. Quick Update- I'm really in love with Exo right now. Ironically so, almost half the groups I get into is because of my sister. She introduces them to me and usually I hate them at first... I don't know why. But then I get sucked in slowly... Same thing happened with Arashi. I feel like deep down I knew I would get sucked in. Anyhoo. My bias of right now is Lay, but Luhan was my 1st Bias and still really close second. Also I think Suho is totally adorable as well. They really are all so cute. Lay and his dimple and his dancing-swoon. Luhan is so pretty.
Ok anyways I just saw this article on Yahoo (yes i know their articles are kind of eh... but I like perusing to see if there is anything interesting). And I saw this article about how Gen Y will always be unhappy. And good points were made. We are told we can do anything if we put our minds to it and i feel like I am probably in the same mindset of these people. I'm not thinking realistically about how to go about things. Nothing is going to be easy but I haven't felt real hardship in my life nor have i ever had a job not even a part time one. I've been pretty coddled my entire life and I know that is really bad.
Anyways, I'm one of those hold outs, I refuse to get a Facebook. I always say it will die like Myspace and everyone will move on to the next big thing. Although it sort of seems like that is slowly happening with Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. I have none of these things, well I do have a Tumblr. But I'm unconventional about it. As in I don't follow anyone on Tumblr, i just reblog whatever I feel like. I look through tags of things that i feel like looking at, so I don't really get sucked in. Anyways, I'm someone who can easily get sucked into things and get obsessed with them. I know if I get a Facebook, this will happen and I don't want that to happen. Plus i like to keep my private life ... well private. Plus i don't really want to be bombarded with other people's lives. I have scrolled through facebook through my freinds' accounts and I get really sad. Because I feel envious of their interesting lives (Facebook Envy) and how my life is so boring in comparison. I don't need a constant reminder of that. I can see what a big time waste that is. If I'm going to waste time I'd rather waste it on watching my numerous shows and dramas.
I know I'm probably going to need social media later on in life, I can't be a total social hermit, but i'm going to be a hold out as long as I can. I feel like the people I want to keep in contact with I have in my contact list on my phone. And if they want to talk to me or send me pictures they can do so because they have my number.
My roommate is constantly posting pictures on facebook about pretty much every event in her life.... I think that is a bit excessive, but i guess she is in the group that wants to create that envy. i find it a bit frivolous, but to each their own.
Well back to studying. I'm procrastinating right now if that isn't obvious. Sigh. Well, Ciao Ciao (Reborn from Hitman Reborn if anyone knows)
