Internet Stalking can be your Greatest Talent, too

I promise this isn't creepy, I just really like knowing everything about someone.

Internet Stalking can be your Greatest Talent, too
Caity Seals

One of my greatest talents is my talent to google someone and somehow stumble upon, for example, their voter ID. Now, before you start thinking 'Wow she is such a creep!' and exit my article, I just want everyone to know that I like knowing things about people I've met. Sometimes it is a little useful to know if my new coworker is a hardcore supporter of Donald Trump when I am currently subscribed to HillaryClinton.org email updates. Google is my best friend, and in this little how to article, it will be yours too.

To begin, open google in your browser (unless you use google chrome like me then just use the search bar at the top). Search the name of the person. For example, lets use me. So if you wanted to find my entire life out, you could open google, search "Caity Seals." When I search this, the first thing that pops up is my Twitter (@caitythekitty follow me), but, as I continue looking, I found some old newspaper articles from when I won a theatre award in high school. I found some of the old Prezis I made in middle school.

If you want to get even better, you could search with a location, now, mine wasn't very good. My twitter popped up again and so did some more articles about my theatre award. But I can confirm, searching one of my coworker's names didn't bring up anything really, but when I added his location to the end, I wish I could have you all see the results. As I mentioned earlier, I found his voter ID. I found his sibling's facebook (he doesn't have one). His voter ID was my favorite, but I also was able to find some of his old blogs from high school. Its crazy, what you can find on google.

Now, this is a pretty dumb article, but I just want you readers to take away that you should open a new tab and google yourself. Its crazy what the internet says about you that you don't know it is saying (and go ahead and google that cutie you work with, too. You never know what you'll find).

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
