Is Social Media Taking Over?!

 



SOCIAL MEDIA

    Social media has become a very prominent and superficial tool in today’s society. It is extremely rare and almost unheard of to encounter someone who has zero social media. There are various reasons that people use social media. Some use it strictly for business, others for entertainment, and some simply have it to keep in touch with others. No matter the reasoning behind the use of social media, it is no secret that it is surely becoming a huge part of everyday life. 

With social media being as popular as it is today, it is important to know how to produce content that resonates with the intended audience. Words are power and knowing how to correctly articulate thoughts and beliefs are what separate a great post and a terrible post. While people do post on social media for different reasons, clear and concise writing is always a positive way to go. 

    While there are pros and cons to social media, I personally believe the good outweighs the bad. Social media has made it possible for people around the world to connect, stay in touch, and explore with just the click of a button. While there surely are negatives that come with it, social media usage and the outcome of it is solely dependent on the user.

We've cried together, been in trouble together, snuck out together (sorry mama and Mrs. Kim), had disagreements, and fights but our friendship has never quavered.  We grew up attending Vincent Middle High School, a small 2A school about 30 miles outside of Birmingham,AL (You know, one of those towns where EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY'S business 😒) I'll be the first to say that Hanna...

Criminal Justice or no?

What is Public Relations?     When I graduated from high school, I was CERTAIN that criminal justice was the right path for me. I loved Law & Order: SVU and thought that being a criminal psychologist would be the absolute coolest job ever. Can y’all believe I took an Intro to Criminal Justice class my first semester and HATED it? My professor was great and I did enjoy the class but I knew criminal justice was NOT the right decision for me.       I knew I needed to pick a major and it needed to happen quickly so that I wouldn’t be in school for 1,000 years. I knew that I enjoyed writing, event planning, and social media so after speaking with an old high school teacher, I decided Communications would be the best fit for me. After taking Introduction to Communications, I knew that I had chosen the PERFECT major for me.      Public Relations was right for me because I actually found myself enjoying the coursework, actively listening in ...
