Chapter 13

I am finally on the last chapter of the book, Chapter 13. This chapter serves a lot like the conclusion of the whole book, but also still gives a little information.

This chapter starts by explaining where social media is at this point in time. It talks about how it as reach a crazy max of possibilities, but what's crazier is the fact that it will continue to progress. Social media has changed so much so fast that even though we think it can't get anymore advanced, it's probably going to.

Then the chapter goes on to explaining future trends and directions. It talks about the questions that need to be asked to improve social media and the two tools and platforms for social media purposes; virtual reality and augmented reality. 

My favorite part of this chapter is the section written by students in the social media classroom seat. These are short sections about different students explaining how they use social media and how it has benefited them. It was really cool to get insight from people that are/were in the same position I am.

Now that I have made it through two informational books from this class,  I can really begin to apply what I have learned. Hopefully this summer I will have an internship in Marketing, but my hopes are it involves social media as well. Because I have learned so much information from these books, I feel better prepared to take on a role in Social Media for a business. Everything we have had to complete for this class has seriously helped me a ton.

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...
