Simply Millennial

   Life should be simple, but sometimes maintaining friendships is really difficult, especially when the people you love are far away. But keeping in touch and making the effort to send a little e-mail really goes a long way in this day in age.

   There are arguments that the internet has made us a little more cold, or a little less personal. I disagree. Sometimes the internet has given me the courage to say things, or ask questions that I probably wouldn’t have the nerve to say face to face. I think this is better than not saying anything at all.  Also, through the internet I have stayed in contact with people from elementary school! Social networking sites allow us to easily stay updated with our friends’ lives, and even provides us with features that secure our privacy – just in case that high school stalker boy suddenly contacts you.

   This is all so much better than our parents’ way of keeping in touch with their old friends. It seems so ridiculous now to have to find a piece of paper, write “Hey, how are you doing?” and then purchase a stamp and make sure it gets into the mailbox. What’s a mailbox anyway?
