This link to a quora post ( a question and answer site where users can share personal opinions or answer questions much like yahoo answers had a few good personal opinions on whether they felt they missed out on college life.

Most of the information in the posts seem to have an opinion sharing similar responses.  That while they felt they missed out on a few different things, they wouldn’t trade the additional expense of living on campus for that experience in question.  Some things sited were the specific college life functions, like living in a dorm, meeting strangers, etc.  These clearly aren’t worth the money involved to be a part of them.  Personally I would agree.

Social Media can help your relationship!

Reflection:

All my posts up to this point have been displaying the negative impact of social media on relationships. I decided to branch my research onto the positive side. I found this article on Mashable by Joann Pan that summarizes that social media [internet] builds and sustains romantic relationships. Pan provides two separate guides for new couples and long-term couples on how to use social media to help build your relationship.
