Entry #9: The Trend on Social Media

Recently I have been doing research regarding social media in general. Prior to my research, I didn't think anything of social media. I am a frequent user of Instagram, Face Book, and Snap Chat. I use these daily to upload pictures, statuses, share videos, and communicate with family and friends. There are a few things I did notice post my research. I noticed a fashion trend on social media. Every person I have on via Instagram basically had the same fashion sense. I personally always looked past this and didn't bother to even think anything of it. When you follow celebrities and friends you notice a similarity in the type and style of clothing people wear. I defiantly can say I think people are highly influenced by what they see on social media. Many people try to be unique and make there fashion sense original, but with everyone trying to be unique, to me everyone looks ordinary and the same. Although people claim to be original I see a trend. Particularly I see a trend within females. There is a particular look each girl follows. They take pictures in certain angles to appear slimmer. They pose in provocative ways. They angle their face. Ive noticed that social media is a fantasy outlet for some people. When I see these people in public they are never dressed nor look exactly like the pictures they post. It's as if they feel they either have to look a certain way online to compete with others or they feel comfortable posting pictures looking a certain way but not in public. I can't say I never noticed this before but I have been paying a lot more attention to it recently.

    I have noticed this trend about women as well. I constantly see people posting about how unique and different they are but still follow the exact same trends everyone else is following. There is nothing wrong with following trends but it seems as though the concept of not following a trend is becoming a trend. Just like how being hipster started out as being against the mainstream but now being hipster is mainstream.

Entry 11: Final Blog Reflection

The first day of class we were introduced to becoming a blogger and author. My first thoughts about this idea about blogging in a English 102 class was great. I was very excited for something different and new. Every English class is different but most are very similar. The idea that students create a blog and 50% of it is self generated topics was a wonderful idea. I enjoyed writing every single entry. My favorite was the self generated blogs. These were my favorite because it was a way I could express my personal opinion and share what interests me. Along with the self generated topics we has great topics that were instructed to us. All of them we were able to express in our own ways. No ones blog was at all similar. The topics may have been, but the views were all slightly different along with the content.  Blogging was completely new to me. I went in with a positive attitude and for now I am leaving with a positive attitude as well. At first I struggled with the simple asp...

BLOGS, BLOGS, AND MORE BLOGS! What do you think?

People are always wanting to become a "Bloggers", whether it be personal or professional. It can be interesting how people compose their blogs. Some look so engaging while others do not. Since I'm giving this " blog life" a shot I decided I would do some research of my own. I came across a few blogs. Some I enjoyed and really admire, while others not so much. I like to start off with the negative and the blogs I didn't enjoy as much and then ending on a good note.  The first blog I came across was: All the Xbox One Indie, Third-Party and First-Party Launch Titles by Matt Peckham The moment I opened this blog I knew I did not like it before even reading the post and what it is about. The layout to me looked more like a article then blog. I do understand that this is a professional blog, but in my eyes it looks like a advertisement more so.  As I read through the article and learned a little about the Xbox, I felt like it left me hanging. Maybe the author...
