Relationships in the Age of Facebook

When it came time to change my relationship status on Facebook this past weekend, I literally found myself thinking, "Ok. Time to go public." It's strange how now life changes feel the most real after they are reflected on your profile. Even if a few people already know what's going on, it still feels like a secret until you've broadcast it to everyone you went to high school with, former co-workers, and fellow students from study abroad.
