FLOS

For the first night in a while, all my roommates were home at the same time.  Four of us were doing work tonight and the other 2 had a free night and were relaxing watching TV in the living room.  One of my roommates has always had a tough time getting his work done around the house, and always wants to be hanging with the guys.  As my roommates who had nothing to do started playing foosball in the living room, the one trying to do work got up right away and got involved in a quick tournament with the rest of the guys.  We got into a discussion of FLOS, or feeling left out syndrome.  It was a term I'd never heard before and we were having a good laugh about it.  It made me think of class though and how Facebook has a tendency to amplify the problem.  Whenever I'm trying to get my final paper (or blog posts) done in time, its not easier when I see half my friends are at Connors all day.  I had a friend who just attended the Coachella music fest in California this weekend, and I had a serious case of the FLOS.
