Like the rest of the class, I was not so sure about this
\nproject. First of all, the only \u201csocial media\u201d that I own is Facebook. I do not
\nhave twitter, instagram, snapchat, or any other fancy social apps on my phone.
\nAlthough I always check my Facebook, I am hardly ever active. I never post any
\nstatuses or add many pictures on my profile. Every time I do upload any updates
\non my life, I think long and hard about it before I decide to post it. Posting
\na picture of myself or updating a status is definitely cringeworthy for me.
\nHence, this project was incredibly difficult.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know how to use twitter and instagram. It was
\nrather foreign to me.\u00a0 I was a
\nlittle embarrassed to ask people how to use them, so it took me a while to figure
\nthings out. However, the problems didn\u2019t end there. I had to ask myself, \u201cWhat
\nin the world do I post here?\u201d every time I opened the apps. I never read the
\nnews, I don\u2019t go to the BC games, and I don\u2019t live on campus. Not living on
\ncampus already takes away a lot of the \u201ccollege\u201d experiences. The same thing
\nhappens to me everyday: I meet the same people, eat the same food, and do the
\nsame things. Those<\/i> things<\/i> happen to be just siting in front
\nof my books and computer at home<\/i>. I
\ncouldn\u2019t post about that\u2026<\/p>\n
This week I had to force myself to go out and explore. It
\nwas absolutely dreadful. I\u2019m not much of an outdoorsy person so going outside
\nand being adventurous was not my cup of tea. Friends? We\u2019re all usually pretty
\nbusy and stressed about hw and midterms so I don\u2019t get to officially meet them
\nuntil Friday most of the time. Being an extrovert is just so hard.<\/p>\n
Posting things about class related topics were also harder
\nthis week. We mostly only focused on our paper and it was basically just an
\nindividual assignment. No articles or readings to forward or counter to\u2026<\/p>\n
The only thing I enjoyed was creating the playlist. I love
\nlistening to classical music, k-pop, folk, and instrumentals, so incorporating
\nall of these beautiful genres to a playlist was a very relaxing process. <\/p>\n
This project was interesting but it definitely forced me out
\nof my comfort zone. The feeling of discomfort every time I posted something was
\nunpleasant, but at least I had the chance to experience such occurrences. Would
\nI continue with these social medias? No. Would I remember this project for the
\nrest of my life? Yes. <\/p>\n\n
