I'm Not Just Boring, I'm Bored

So, this will my last week with Google+ as the service is ending.  To be honest, I barely used it.  The overwhelming majority of my posts on it was shared content with Blogger.  I had set my blog up so that it would appear on my feed as soon as it was posted.  That ability ended a few months ago, but I had already been cross-posting a link on Facebook, so there was no shortage of coverage.  I can't remember posting any pictures, save for my profile pics.  If there were anything else, they were so unimportant that I have long since forgotten about them.  As for general posts, I don't think I had new content in two years, not since I really started to explore Facebook.  I have the option of saving my content, but it was so much dreck, that I doubt I will.  I never really got to explore the possibilities of the platform.  The only books I found had information that was out of date, by years.  Some of the features had changed, to the point that I couldn't really understand them.  I couldn't find any new information to help me out either.  I really was only going on the platform to aid my store, Booknotes.  I barely did anything for it either.  The strange thing is that business uses of Google+ might still remain, at least in some fashion.  I haven't been asked to save the content from that part of my account as I have from my personal account.  I should look back on what little I posted, but what is the use?  I didn't do anything.  I had no friends try to contact me there, so I guess anyone who knew me didn't try to find me, at least by the point I started on it.  I never had anything interesting to report.  I never did anything worthy to post.  I never joined any communities to reach out to anyone who shared any of my interest, such as they are.  I barely do more than that on Facebook, either.  But I do do more than that and I am more connected there, and that's the point.  Lately, things just seem to be in a holding pattern.  I can't seem to get anywhere or do anything.  I am just barely doing a minimum amount of anything to get by.  In fact, I just sent in my latest application for grad school, at least as much of it as I could before the deadline.  I think I did enough of it correctly to at least continue the process, but I am not enthusiastic about it, not as much as I should be.  I still like doing everything that I'm doing, I just can't get myself to react more positively about it.  Not that I do much, but I just can't feel it enjoying me.  Whatever, I seem be rambling.  I didn't plan this week's post as well as I should have.  What happens to one's online life when a social media site ends, when there wasn't much on it to begin with?
