Social Media Principles in review


Social Media Principles is an interesting course because when dealing with social media it deals with everything that happens. New platforms that become popular like Tik Tok, updated ways that platforms get used, Instagram stories, Snapchat facetime calls, companies on Twitter roasting each other, etc. The course showed us that this is an industry that is constantly evolving and has set a pace to never slow down. We have seen the downfall of certain social media platforms like MySpace, or even AOL’s Instant Messaging. In 2019 Myspace has steadily made a comeback for individuals who are avoiding the clutter of Facebook and use the platform to stay connected with their friends. Social Media continues to develop and cannot be predicted to the extent of what the next trend will be for the online communities. This class provides a lot of work to be completed during the 16 weeks of classes. I was unprepared just how much work would be needed to complete the course and have dealt with the amount of work in the worst ways. Instead of turning things in late, or asking questions, writing them down, or communicating with my classmates, I had just decided to not submit any work. This strategy was a poor decision because of how this affected my work ethic, I am currently making sure I can do anything and everything to at least earn a passing grade, if at all possible. You will be seeing a lot of blog posts soon, over the next few hours, and through tomorrow so do not be alarmed as to why so many have been posted. With the class taking so much work I would like to suggest adjusting due dates to midnight rather than noon. Most of the assignments I submitted were at midnight the day they were due, making the assignments late by 12 hours. I felt guilty each time this happened and could not find an effective way to manage the work for the class to ensure my personal success for the course.

Escaping Reality

Well, I am a few blog posts behind and will be attempting to release 6 posts this week. Two posts each day, maybe not two today. This week is looking very hectic now that I have done this to myself. Last week got away from me having me miss a lot of what was happening around me. This week and the next few I am looking to focus on my surrounding world, ensuring I take time to stop and look around. This past week I missed the ability to relax for a bit, creating more stress than needed. Recently it has been a struggle to find a routine to follow, that allows for a little bit of free time to take that step back. Allowing time each day to reflect, listen, and just be in the environment around me helps me center myself and assists in creating a peaceful moment. With today being the first day of fall I made a deal to a friend that we would go for bike rides every weekend until it finally got too cold to go outside. This creates at least two hours of time immersed in nature and the surroundin...

Thanksgiving is Christmas' Shadow

With the holiday season quickly approaching it appears that Thanksgiving always gets the short end of the stick. With Christmas and the entire season of Winter, this holiday tends to be forgotten. Stores like Walmart, Target, Meijer, Hobby Lobby, Kroger put up Christmas decorations directly after Halloween. Fall decorations disappear after October 31, and immediately winter decorations get placed out. These decorations usually consist of Christmas trees, lights, nativity scenes, snowmen, snowflakes. All the colors change from bright reds, yellows, oranges, transitions to reds and greens . This gives Thanksgiving a very short period, specifically three days. The rule in my family has always been Thanksgiving before Christmas, in the house the Christmas season does not begin until Black Friday shopping begins. This has always been the case for our family because of downtown Cincinnati hosts a tree lighting to officially kick off the Christmas season. This has been a tradition in our ...

Beautiful Mind Records

Welcome to the more random posts on my blog. These uploads can range from new music finds that I think the readers should listen to through items that are just absolutely random. This is just how my mind works, and processes information, so buckle up cause this could be a rollercoaster. This blog will focus on musical talents and how the music industry works. Artists like Ariana Grande, Drake, Jon Bellion, Logic, etc… all work for a music label. Some of these artists venture out to create their own labels to assist other rising artists. One example of this happening is with Jon Bellion. This is my favorite musical artist to listen to, the rhythm and style of his albums are never the same and in interviews, he has stated that he would rather make music that spoke to the audience, rather than following the classic four-chord structure that allows a song to become a hit. Artists like Jon Bellion have opened a door for rising groups like Lawrence the Band. Jon used his own label, Beautiful...
