Once published, lives are forever changed.

This week I had the chance to read "Once it is on the internet, it's there forever".
This got me to thinking, as a teenager, there are so many exciting events we attend.  These can be as simple as the basketball game or baseball league games during the summer.  As we tend to grow, we go to birthday parties or hang out with our friends on the weekend. We take pictures of ourselves being silly and post them on the social media sites. 
As future college scholars and pillars of the community, these pictures and posts may come back to haunt us as our future girlfriends and peers at work, may not understand the message.  Future employers will be reviewing all social media to better understand their potential candidate and not hire them solely based upon their external behavior. The moral of this post, is to reflect prior to posting any pictures or written thoughts that you would be ashamed or embarrassed for your grandma to read or see.
