Book Review

My last blog about the book. You can imagine my excitement to not have to blog about the textbook anymore, but I can't say I didn't learn a lot from both books we read.

I've always known about social media on a base level. Like everyone else that uses social media, I feel comfortable with how to use the apps and how to post posts my followers like. But these books taught me more concrete information that will help a ton moving on.

As a newly declared social media minor, I will use everything I have learned from this class and these books in the future if I can get a social media job. I appreciate everything I have learned about content creation and curation, apps to help me with social media, how to create calendars and so much more. I plan on using these, for now, on my own social media and my mom's business's social media. This will give me great practice for when I need to use it for a job.

I have already noticed some changes I have made since the beginning on this class. I focus way more on my posting versus when I used to just post for fun. I think the little blue book helped me more than the textbook because it was more blunt and it was put in a way that was easier to understand to people my age.

I have taken so much out of my semester in this class and the information I have learned from the books. I look forward into learning more in the next classes with Aggie.

    I agree. I learned so much from both books and it definitely makes me think more when I get on social media. Also, social media is most certainly a field I am interested in after this class and these books.

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...
