Coming into the project, I was dreading it. I had never used Twitter<br \/>\nor Spotify before and I wasn\u2019t looking forward to spending a lot of time trying<br \/>\nto figure out how they worked. As it turns out, they\u2019re really easy to use and<br \/>\nI enjoyed it. Tweeting was both fun and informative. I got to crack a couple<br \/>\njokes we share as a class (whether people laughed or not, I\u2019m not sure), but<br \/>\nthe project also forced me to do some extra research to find articles relating<br \/>\nto our class. Doing this made me think about what we were doing in class when I<br \/>\nnormally wouldn\u2019t have. The Instagram story that I told enabled me to relive<br \/>\none of the best memories of my freshman year here at BC. The freedom to pick my<br \/>\nstory made me reflect on my life the past few months, which was a nice thing to<br \/>\ndo. I was able to pick a memory that I think a lot of the people in the class<br \/>\ncould relate to and that a lot of my classmates experienced as well. <\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of this project<br \/>\nwas the \u201cBiopic\u201d Spotify Playlist. I have a passion for music and to be able to<br \/>\ntell my life story through something that I am passionate about was great. I<br \/>\nfeel like I have defined myself through this playlist. It has songs that<br \/>\nrepresent every part of my life: the ups, the downs and some important<br \/>\nexperiences. I was excited with how it turned out because if Hollywood were<br \/>\nreally making a movie of my life, the playlist would cover ever part of the<br \/>\ntheoretical movie. <\/p>\n<p>What I thought would be an arduous,<br \/>\ndifficult assignment really turned into one that I enjoyed completing and also<br \/>\ngot a lot out of personally. The reflective aspects of the assignment were<br \/>\nfruitful for me and I had a great time with the creative and unstructured<br \/>\nportions. Curating these accounts has been a great experience. <a><\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=rheoftheiphone\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My week running the Barta FWS social media accounts has been a blast.
