"They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets"

Social-Media and it could affect a person

Based on the article: "They loved your GPA, then they saw your Tweets"

After reading this article, I plan to keep on keeping on.  I don't put anything on Facebook that I would want to hide from anyone (except maybe political stuff, but if a college is going to teach me a way that I don't agree with then they can go ahead and reject me).  I am going to keep putting stuff I would normally put, and I'm going to keep talking the way I would normally talk, because I don't put anything on any social media site that is bad or would cause any college to reject me.  I understand that my digital presence is a huge deal to college and future employers, and it would be ignorant to put anything that would cost me my job or acceptance to colleges where they can see it.  I'm not going to go back and delete stuff, because you can still see stuff that has been deleted; you can't see anything that hasn't been put up to begin with.  I knew this when I made my Facebook account (Which is my only non-school related social media account).
