Ads on Facebook

Hello fellow bloggers,
I never really noticed the ads on the right hand side of my computer on Facebook until Prof Campbell pointed them out, kind of embarrassing but whatever. Now that I am noticing them, I think that it is weird that they pertain to your life, like Facebook somehow knows where you are currently living and that I play tennis. But while I was Facebook stalking today, this is what ads appeared on the right hand side of my screen.

365 Things to do in Charlotte Before You Die
I like things like this, lists I guess you can call them. I clicked on this link because I was curious but of course it was an obnoxious series of questions like: where do you live (I thought you already knew i was in Charlotte?) and my email address, so I exited the page because I do not want 8036 email regarding things to do in Charlotte. After clicking on one of the ads, it became a lot clearer to me that they are unnecessary. I don't plan on living in Charlotte until the day that I die, but I highly doubt that if I did, I would want to do a lot of the things on the list. I can't even see the list, so whatever. That was just a waste of 2 minutes.

Downy
This ad stood out to me because as I am sitting at my desk, the giant pile of dirty clothes is rising behind me slowly. I need to laundry so badly but it is such a chore. Doing laundry in college means that you have to block out at least 3 hours of your time to take your clothes out of the washer and transport them to the dryer so SOMEBODY who is having an awful day and is painfully impatient doesn't throw your pile of wet clothes on the dirty laundry room floor. Rude. Living at home was so much easier, my mom doing my laundry weekly was so nice. Definitely took that for granted. Miss you mom. I'll save the laundry for another day.

Perfect Baby Name Finder
This was a little awkward to see on the side of my page... I am not expecting a child next week or in the next 5 years if that. As a girl though, I have thought of baby names for my potential children. I like Hadley for a girl. And Noah for a boy. I want somewhat simple names for my kids because my name was so difficult growing up with, people dont seem to understand Gillian and even worse, Gilly.

Well, those were my ads. See yall in class.
