Thanks a lot, Zuckerberg.

I've successfully managed to avoid your "new and improved" Facebook for weeks now. I thought I had escaped it. I thought I could stay with what I was familiar with, what I've known, loved and trusted for the duration of my collegiate career.

But no. Now everyday when I sign on to waste away my life by checking the statuses and photos of people I generally don't talk to instead of doing other productive things, I get to see this haunting reminder: "Soon."

Soon Facebook will change, but I have no definition of when "soon" is. I've been told it will change "soon" for the past week, and yet, everything is still the same as always. It's making me feel anxious, and in a way helpless at the fact that I cannot avoid this fate.

Sure, I could join the countless "petition against the new Facebook!" groups. But we all know that's not going to do any good at all. Thousands tried it the last time Facebook "changed," and it seemed to pass by unnoticed.

So, I guess I'll just sit and wait, feeling ridiculously old at the fact that I'm so afraid of change and saddened that one of my most familiar college facets will "soon" be no more.
