[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love seeing them.  This is so weird.  I have two in college about to graduate and I still love seeing where kids land. [/quote]

Why?  Why do you care?  Why do you think it matters at all?  Especially if it's not your kid?  I'm genuinely curious.[/quote]
I’m genuinely curious if you actually have good friends? Like you only care about what happens to your kids and no one else’s.  It makes me wonder if some of you only have relationships based on what you can get from people. Purely transactional.  It makes so much sense based on some of these comments. [/quote]

Oh please.  How many "good friends" do you have who have kids going to college?  You might have one or two, sure, and with those friends you don't have to rely on social media or a group text to know where they're "landing."  They'll tell you over dinner or a beer.

If you're only learning from social media where the kids are going to college, the parents aren't your "good friends."

Get off your high horse.  [/quote]
I think you can still be happy for people even if they are not close friends. Like “oh cool, good for so and so.”   I don’t post anything on social media but I think it’s the whole point…to share and connect with people you might not see everyday? I rather see happy news than 99% of the crap that’s on Facebook or whatever. [/quote]
