EX OBSESSION : FACEBOOK
Yep, Facebook is just too far out for us today, what with stuff like Instagram and Ask and Snapchat and Twitter gaining more popularity. But, let's face it, there was definitely a time when were all absolutely obsessed with Facebook! I remember being in grade 5 and being one of the very few people who didn't use Facebook ( because my dad never allowed me ) During breaks or any time we had to chit chat, Facebook was literally the only hot topic. And the people with Facebook accounts were amongst the 'cool people'...
... Until I finally got an account in grade 7! And then it was a routine. Facebook for an hour right after school, when most of us were online together. We would do all sorts of stuff that we find utter nonsense now : Playing games like Uno and Farmville, chatting with friends with every word turned into a short form to sound cooler ( I call it the 'mah lyf mah rulezzz' language ), posting those pictures where you tag your friends for a particular caption ( I remember doing it a lot from tagmypals.com ), making weird ass school groups, sending friend requests to teachers and boasting about it, keeping celebrity displays, etc
Even now when you look back at your 2 year old Facebook posts, you'll either laugh at how you were or find it impossible to digest the fact that that was YOU. Facebook had been an obsession for a really long time, until we FINALLY gave up on it.
