On September 28, Facebook shut down for one hour for the first time since February 2013. If you are like any college student, Facebook is one of the main ways you keep in touch with family and friends...or distract you from other things you should probably be doing. When Facebook stopped working for one hour what was everyone thinking?
1. Now I actually have to listen to my lecture.
Let’s be real here, we all do it. You are siting in your boring lecture, so you decide to go on Facebook and take a few Buzzfeed quizzes and creep on old photos. Of course this happens to be one of your least-favorite classes, so when Facebook stopped working, it couldn’t have been worse timing.

2. The person you were hard-core creeping on will have to wait.
It could have been the boy you were crushing on in your English class, or the person you dislike the most. The creeping had to abruptly stop while Facebook stopped working. It’s okay though, as soon as it got back up and running I’m sure you went right back to your stalking.
3. No one will know how you are feeling during this moment because you cannot post a status.
I am talking to the person who posts many statuses telling all of their “friends” how they feel about their day. This same person also shares their strong opinions on certain topics that are being discussed in the media. Now you have to wait until Facebook starts working again to tell everyone how upset you were when you couldn’t post a status for one hour.
4. You are not smarter than Mark Zuckerberg.
After about 45 minutes of frustration you start to think you can find a way to fix Facebook. Well you can't, so don't even bother.
5. Login Successful.
When you have finally given up hope of ever being able to use Facebook again, you decide to try one more time. As you type in the final letters of your password you take a deep breath and click “login.”
Before you know it your newsfeed pops up and that awful hour of no Facebook is finally over. You can now get back to posting statuses and creeping on that boy in your English class because Facebook is back in action.
