    Iridescent Orchid replied to chall2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    Iridescent Orchid replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    It's easy to hit the x that pops up on the right of everyone's status/posts, and if someone is really bothering you THAT much while posting their grades, you even have the option to hide ALL updates...
