   Hey everyone! I talked with some of you on Facebook so I wanted to post a thread here on our new forum to welcome you guys to CollegeTimes. We look forward to some great discussions and networking back on Facebook as well.

   Best wishes! :)

   Thanks for the invite Kelly, i'm excited to throw my pennies into these discussions, and really gain some additional viewpoints to broaden my scope of thought. I consider it essential to network to gain critical thinking skills in our current culture. Without the typical Mentor/Student Relationship we often see that these skills do not develop mostly due to the lack of personal application in our society. However, difficult discussions often breed thought provoking insight. Hopefully I will be able to give the members of this forum and you as well some new things to think about.

   Nice to see you here Shawn, hope you stay! You are obviously a big thinker who is unafraid to think out loud and exchange perspectives with others. That is an encouraging thing.

   I think your view on mentors is very dead on - in a broad scope of ways. Not only is it decreasing critical thinking but also crafts and skills - our staff has talked about this multiple times. It seems to be contributing to why the youth feel so desperate to prove how unique they are with whatever things, like emo music or hipster bicycles! lol

   Instead we consume from Costco and don't really need to think about much at all... =\

   It was inevitable that they were going to venture into this system, but I think it's just stupid. Honestly not to be "old man yells at clouds" (I'm 25) but why do you need to tell the entire world you're at Walmart. I understand it's benefit to companies as a marketing tool and that they can offer coupons and discounts if you check in, but it's really excessive. I was talking to my friend earlier about how when we first got on facebook there were no status updates, no comments/liking thing, and only college kids. I don't even think you could upload photos (besides a profile pic). Oh how times have changed.
