Hi Everyone,

This week I had the opportunity to be the media curator with Spencer. This week brought a lot of enjoyment with the creating of the Spotify playlist, the tweeting, and the instagramming. Like a lot of other people in this class, I am not an avid tweeter or instagrammer, so this week gave me the opportunity to post my thoughts from a new account that would not be linked to me. Being able to post from an account other than your primary account liberates you from judgement from your normal followers.

Since I almost never tweet, learning the ins and outs of twitter was fun and interesting for me. Until this week, I did not known you could add gifs or images to your tweets. It was also nice to use twitter as a platform to inform the other people in the class. It was so easy when a thought came to my mind to just open Twitter and post it.

On my primary Instagram account I have posted just 26 times in the four years I have had the account. When posting from my normal account, I am too preoccupied with how many likes I am going to get or who is going to comment to enjoy the post. During my week as media curator, I did not have to think twice about my post; anytime I thought something was picture-worthy I would just whip out my phone, snap a picture, and post it to the class Instagram.

I always enjoy making Spotify playlist, and I usually add songs to my playlist a couple times a week. The playlist I created for my media curator week has a lot of the music I am listening to right now. I really enjoy high energy, so that is why there is a lot of rap, EDM, and other upbeat music on there. Migos and Future are my two favorite artists right now, which should give some reference to the kind of music I like.

I had a great time during my week as media curator, and I hope everyone else enjoys their week as media curator too!

Thanks, JB
