<p>For the already accepted folks of class of 2016, what do you guys think of people who friend everyone on the FB group- is this a good idea or not, does it take away the surprises of getting to meet everyone in september. Do you think it's a good thing to be overtly outspoken on the FB group.. or not? My reason for asking this is that I just want to know if people find it annoying or not if you comment too much or things of that sort on the group. </p>

<p>How should one proceed with this group??</p>

<p>Well… it’s facebook. So it doesn’t really matter because you don’t really KNOW people through facebook. It’s just a medium through which you can effortlessly socialize.</p>

<li>I didn’t add anyone because well it’s a bore.</li>
</ul>

<p>Better to meet them in person first before adding. Just avoids the awkwardness. I think in the beginning of the year, it’s ok to add people as soon as you meet them. However, as the year goes on, my rule of thumb is I add them after seeing them 3 times (if I actually do want to get to know them more after that).</p>

<p>some people are commenting on EVERYTHING, I had to turn off my notifications from the group after the first day.</p>

<p>I initially was SUPER excited and added several people but over time I came to the same conclusion as both of you guys. </p>

<p>PLUS I have a feeling that most of us will be disappointed by how we act in real life. haha</p>

<p>and by we, I mean each other</p>

<p>Remember too that it will only be as awkward as you make it. If you see them in person, say hi…nothing wrong with that. Some people can pull it off though, while others can’t, and that’s okay.</p>

<p>In the 2015 group, Willard definitely made an impression. Now we all laugh at how much certain current residents posted in the group.</p>

<p>Don’t add anyone…I’ve recently had these moments where I see people that added me over the summer and I take like 10 minutes to recall that it happened.</p>
