My Online Identity

I don't really have any red flags on any of my accounts. There may be slight profanity here and there, but never very often. So I should start paying attention to that and replacing those words with different ones. I don't post anything inappropriate, so I'm not worried if people view it. I have a lot of family on Facebook and my little brother has Instagram. I try to post things that I'd be fine with all of them seeing.

I don't think all those consequences were fair. I don't think the women who was drinking when she was legal age should've not been able to get her teaching degree. But, when it comes to future employers not hiring you because of something online I can understand that because what you say online is probably one of their first impressions of you. If there is something bad, they're going to eliminate you from the potential group of people they'd hire.

I think most people are "themselves" online. We say things online the way we'd say it to our friends. People tend to be more confident online, but I think we still act like ourselves for the most part.

College Costs

The estimated cost of going to the U of M Twin Cities is $25,124/year. After the financial aid FAFSA says is available I'll have $10,860 left to pay. My plan is to get my AA Degree done at Northland so I should save a lot of money that way. Then, when I'm at the U of M I'll have to take out student loans and have a job so I can save up money to pay them off in the future.

Reinvention

When I go to college I don't really think I'll reinvent myself too much. My biggest concern would be not being able to balance all the homework, social life, and a job at once. I want to have a job to save up more money for college, but I feel like I won't have enough time to do that and school at the same time. What I'm looking forward to the most is meeting new people and getting involved in different things. Also, taking classes that I'm interested in and will help me with a career in the future.

Multitasking

I think that in this day in age our generation doesn't really understand what multitasking is. Everyone's perspective on multitasking is different. My opinion is I don't believe people can fully multitask. For example, some students say they can do homework and be on their phone at the same time, but really you can't type out a tweet and type a paper both at the same time.

After the discussion my thoughts have changed a little bit. Once we did the activity with writing a sentence and numbers at the same time it proved that people can't really multitask. I agree that it's more of a switching back and forth between tasks rather than doing them at the same time.
