spring into spring

Dear friends,

With my spring break rapidly approaching I’d like to inform you that I will be taking a break from blogging. I will be spending my spring break building houses in Alabama and will not have the time to pamper my beloved blog. I am not sure when I will begin posting again but I am sure I will have many stories to share of my break. Until then friends. And remember this is not a goodbye it’s a see you later. ;)

the too social butterfly

After being extremely uninspired and feeling a lack of motivation to stay on top of my blog, I am finally back with something to say about something. I recently attended a presentation on branding yourself on social media sites. I can’t help but immediately think about the people that are doing it all wrong. That’s not to say that they actually are doing it all wrong but it is to say that they almost don’t care about how they are viewed on social media sites. You see I don’t understand why people continually post pictures and statuses on Facebook and Twitter that are of them participating in illegal activities. How do people post those pictures and think that it’s okay? Employers want to know you before they even meet you face to face, they will find your Facebook and Twitter there’s no doubt about it. Why then are people still so careless that continue to post photos and statuses that could put them in jeopardy of getting a job in the future? I’m literally appalled by some the things people post on Facebook, they think that it’s private yet nothing on the internet is ever really private. I mean just the other day my Facebook got hacked and I sent about 20 messages to people about getting a free iPad that I took no part in. Some people really need to wake up and smell the coffee, who you are on the internet defines you, in that sense you’re branded. And being branded isn’t a bad thing, in fact it can be a really good thing if you use social media in the right way. So next time you think of posting that picture that might be suspicious, don’t, when you have a great job you’ll be glad you didn’t. So lets be social friends, but lets be social in the right ways.

Dear Diary,

Gosh I’ve been so busy lately I’ve barely had anytime to decompress and synthesis everything that’s happened in the past week. with that being said diary, I think I need a break.  I have had so much going on that I haven’t had time to even stop and catch my breath. Seriously though I haven’t. Yesterday i was running late to class and naturally is was snowing like crazy. The grounds were so slippery that I slipped twice. Luckily I was able to catch myself before I fell all the way to the ground. And of course people probably saw and laughing but that’s whatever I guess. I did eventually make it to class in case you were wondering but you probably weren’t oh well. I can’t wait for the weekend because all I really wanna do is eat eggs, bacon, and toast and watch dvr.
