Spooky Szn

Happy October! Today is October 1st and Twitter is going crazy. The trending hashtag right now is #October1st and posts everywhere are talking about "Spooky Szn." One of my favorite things about social media is how fast trends like this happen. People were raving towards the end of September about the fun October brings. So now that it is the first, everyone is super excited.

People my age love October because the fall weather, football, Halloween movies and, of course, Halloween. There is nothing worse than hot weather when walking to class because you are drenched in sweat before you get to your class, so cool weather is so much nicer. College football is always a good time. It's almost like there is a college game on every day of the week. Disney channel is the move this time of year because it has all the classic Halloween movies playing all of the time. Halloween is such a fun time on college campuses because it is an excuse to dress up and party with friends or go to a haunted house to have a good laugh. These are the main reasons why we love October and why we start trends like this when the month hits.

This trend has become so popular that even businesses are starting to join in on it. A lot of business's on twitter have posted memes with the #October1st. Some of the business's that pop up when you click on this trending hashtag are Timehop, US Open Tennis, Science World, etc. This is actually a very smart marketing tool. Using this hashtag will bring more attention to their page, which could help them gain followers and might eventually help them make money in the future.

Even though today didn't feel like October with it being nearly 90 degrees, I am very excited for for cool weather and October festivities to begin. I'm also not mad about the funny October tweets either.

    Hello,
    I am definitely a fan of spooky season. I have found that this tag line is super clever and very clear. Football and the fall weather I totally agree it is a staple of fall and spooky season. Halloween isn't my favorite holiday but dressing up and haunted houses make it fun!
    Thanks for sharing,
    Alyson

    Personally, I am super excited for what October brings. Football, cool weather and pumpkin pie are just some of the greatest things about it. Also, I completely agree with you about walking to class in hot weather. It feels like you are walking into a sauna every time you step out of the door. So, cheers to spooky season.

    Fall is my favorite time of the year. If I can't wear a sweatshirt outside, I'm not happy. The cool air and leaves that crunch under my feet is where my happy place is. I hadn't seen any of the funny October tweets yet so I might hop over to Twitter and check those out!

    I absolutely love Halloween! It is my favorite time of the year, because of the fall decorations and the chilly weather. My pale skin tone was made for cool sweater weather. I've noticed all the Halloween and October memes on Reddit and I'm all about it.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
