Today, I realized that my Twitter profile was very public when my business professor made fun of student tweets in class. My tweet went, "Totally bullshitting this business report" about the report I'd just handed in, worth a large portion of my grade. FML

Today, after I took my first set of exams, my professor posted on Twitter, scoffing at how stupid one student's answer was. The answer he quoted was one that I wrote. FML

Suspicious minds

Today, my college instructor told me I hadn't actually failed a big exam as he originally said. It turns out he'd mixed me up with another student. Now thanks to the power of gossip, half my class thinks I slept with him so he'd switch my grade with the other student's. FML

Today, my teacher called a friend and me out of class and told us we had been reported for plagiarism because our answers to a problem were nearly identical, and he said that I shouldn't have shared my work. This for an assignment where significant marks were awarded for collaborating with peers. FML

Today, a classmate posted a recording of a recent lecture on my university's Facebook page, so we could listen again and take notes at home. A few minutes in, I heard myself asking a question. I then heard snorting and some girl muttering "dumb cunt" under her breath. FML

Once you tweet it, it's public info!

If you don't feel comfortable with everyone in the world seeing it, don't put it online. It doesn't matter how private you have things set, once its out there, anyone can see it. People share posts, read them over other's shoulders, there can be mess ups with servers where things go public, the list goes on. And never admit to something you shouldn't be doing in writing.

Like that Facebook glitch where bits of people's private message conversations were being posted on their walls for everyone to see.

Mostly everything online is public, government can even view "private" stuff. If its on the internet its visible to whoever wants to find it. So lesson is watch what you post for others to see
