The Benefits of Having A Facebook Account

Dimyana defends the great FB—and honestly, we're on her side.—Sparkitors

Awhile back there was a post on the Woes of a Facebook Account. Now, I understand that their may be some drawbacks to having a Facebook account, but I also think there are a BAJILLION TIMES MORE BENEFITS. So sit down and buckle up as I explain to you why I enjoy wasting my time on Zuckerberg's magical world of amazingness.

1. Facebook gives you the opportunity to connect with other people (like your aunt's sister's dry cleaner's cousin twice removed) who could live, like, in Zimbabwe. How would you ever get to talk to those people if Facebook didn't exist?

2. Facebook enables you learn a lot of new things about people. For instance, you may learn that one of your boyfriend's "Activities" is "Checking out waitresses." Yeah, you may want to rethink that one, buddy.

3. You can lie. Now, hold on a minute! I know lying is bad and stuff, but let me give you example numero uno:
"Dan Bergstein attended: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
Example numero uno two (I failed Spanish):
"Chelsea Dagger works at: Monsters Inc."
See how much fun lying on facebook is? Your husband could be Chace Crawford , you could work for an evil mastermind, or perhaps you are a demi-god. Who knows?

4. You can post embarrassing pictures of your brother and tag him. (Disclaimer: If any physical, mental ailment is inflicted on you by your sibling because of the posting of these pictures, I'm not liable for an injury that may, and most likely, will occur.)

5. STALKING. This is the reason Facebook was invented. Can you imagine if all the cute people at your school did not have Facebooks? How you would ever get to dream and drool over their stunningly gorgeous faces without being publicly ridiculed? Don't lie—you know you all do it.

So for any of you who still believe that Facebook is as unnecessary as those granny panties you got last Christmas, sucks to be you. The rest of us will be enjoy our time on Facebook.

WORD. We love the Facebook. How about you?
