5. *
* In college you will meet thousands of new people,
and almost every one of them will “friend you,” on
Facebook.
* Do your research, and ask around about the friend
request.
* Remember who you meet and where you meet them
[A meeting in a class, is a lot different than a meeting
at a frat party.]

9. * Don’t post something you’ll
*
wish you could take off the
internet.
* Once it’s out there, it’s out there
somewhere
* If you wouldn’t want your
grandparents to see it, don’t
upload it, tweet it, pin it, or post
it.

11. Facebook notes “the fifth biggest
day for a net increase in
relationships was April 1st, or April
Fool's Day, which saw 20% more
relationship initiations than splits.
But unsurprisingly, many of these
appear to be short-lived: April 2nd
was the year's most extreme day in
the other direction, with 11% more
break-ups than new relationships.”

13. Be aware of when you picture is
taken, and do whatever you can to
keep yourself out of situations that
you don’t want documented.

15. If you’re a CEO of a reputable
company, and your doing online
screening and gathering background
information, would you approve of
what your profile shows?
*

16. *

17. * “Online gossiping hardens into cyber bullying when
the nasty messages are directed at the target, so the
target sees them, and the people sending the
messages work intentionally or unintentionally as
disparate individuals, but as a group.
* Levinson, P. (2013). New new media. (2nd ed., p.
164). New York City: Pearson Education.
*

18. *

19. * Your not in High School anymore
* The content could impact your future
* Remember to always be professional,
even when denying a friend request
* Don’t start, or participate in social
media fights
* Your reputation is everything, and
your social networks reflect your
reputation
*

20. *

21. * Keep up with family while your away at
school
* Make life long connections.
* Create something that you can be proud
of
* Take it upon yourself to use social media
the right way
* Always remember that you don’t need to
make a post, or upload a photo every
time you do something
* Enjoy the new opportunities that social
media gives you as a student, and a
future catalyst of your generation
