Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

Does Facebook make you kinder??

Facebook is a great way to connect with almost everyone you know as well as all the people that you do not know. But does having a Facebook make you a kinder person? I don’t know. I personally don’t have a Facebook, so ill just say what I think on the whole about Facebook and if it makes you kind.

I don’t think that Facebook actually makes people kind, I feel that people will be bold with what they write to some people. For example if you were commenting on someone’s page where you do not know the person you may be more mean than nice to the person because you don’t care what they think of you. But if you are commenting on one of your close friends pages it can go both ways you can be kind to them or you may not be. For some people they have an easier time to say something to someone if it is not in person.

Another thing about Facebook is that because people may have more guts to say something to someone on Facebook rather than in person, it may cause a lot of drama in that person’s life because everything that they say to that person will be sent to everyone who is friends with the receiver of that message. It may even cause more drama in that persons life if the picture that was commented on was at a different part of that person’s life and that person may not act or present themselves like that anymore. Or it could be about something that was traumatic in that person’s life and may cause more damage than was meant.
