Here is a great tip from Nicole Verardi about what you actually do post. She calls it the 'Grandma Test', which basically is if you wouldn't want your grandmother to see it, then you don't want other adults to see it either. Your grandma may not know how to use a computer, but more and more seniors are taking classes to help them learn; and you do NOT want to be responsible for giving your granny a heart attack, now, do you?

Also, be careful about what your friends post about you on their sites as well. If there is anything damaging, ask them to remove it ASAP. Lastly, be careful about the email address you use to communicate with a college or potential employer. Giving them an address like drunkenmonkey@aol.com or partygirl17@yahoo.com is not going to impress anyone.

So, I'm not trying to ruin your fun. I'm merely suggesting that you review your online websites and blogs for anything questionable or damaging before your submit a college application or resume. I don't want to see all your hard work go to waste because of a few photos of you getting, well,....wasted.
