A new social media trend is catching on at Texas State. Alexa Perez has more in this Bobcat Update.

Confession Number 737: "I had a girl ask me if I've seen the Texas State Confessions site, I said yes. Then she told me about this funny one she read the other day. The one I had posted."
It seems that the passing faces you see in the quad may have more in common than you think.
Students are professing their secrets and admirations online on a Facebook page titled "Texas State Confessions". These 'confessions' range from Bobcat Bobby crushes to students revealing that they have cancer or are transgender.

Most of the posts, however, are humorous in nature. 
SOUND BITE 1
Students seem to feel relief after posting their embarrassing moments anonymously for all to see.
SOUND BITE 2
These "confession" style pages have become popular at many universities across the nation. Social media allows for students to join university-affiliated groups outside of campus.
SOUND BITE 3
Texas State students are already known for having a strong, comical web presence. Both the "At Texas State" Tumblr blog and the Texas State Memes Facebook have a large following. 
Whether this PostSecret-style web dialogue is a passing fad is too soon to tell, but one thing is certain, our curiosity for a good story will never fade.
