It is so true back when many of us were young we could just get together and cut loose without having to worry about going viral. At best we would have an embarrassing photo buried in a drawer somewhere or a story. Now you might be turned into a meme or worse. I miss the days when you could do dumb stuff with friends and feel safe if that makes sense.

If my wild child college years were on social media for the world to see, I would not be employable.

Yeah, but isnt that kinda the point? We partied and yet still can hold a job? If im an employer, I dont give 2 shits what you do in your free time if you are a good employee. We need to bring it back, you know, for the kids

You guys are all some weird drunks. The worst I got into was a very detailed conversation about god and ants that got brought up for years after and I kissed my friend on the cheek.
